system value of zero (0) on the NetLinx device.

The Master is default set to DEVICE 0. Connected NetLinx device addresses can only be changed through the Protected Setup page. The new address is reflected within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window only after the devices are rebooted and the system is refreshed.

Working with multiple NetLinx Masters

When using more than one Master, each unit must be assigned to a separate System value.

A Master’s System value can be changed but its’ device Address must always be set to zero (00000). The Device Addressing dialog will not allow you to alter the NetLinx Master address value.

Example: Using NetLinx Studio 2.1 to work with an NXC-ME260 and NI-4000:

The NXC-ME260 could be assigned to System 1 (with a value of 00000).

The NI-4000 could be assigned to System 2 (with a value of 00000).
