Communication and Firmware Update

Communicating with the NetLinx Master via an IP

Whether the Master’s IP Address was Set (Set IP Info) or obtained (Get IP Info), use the information from the Network Addresses dialog to establish a new communication method to the Ethernet connected Master.

1.Launch NetLinx Studio 2.1 (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio > NetLinx Studio 2.1).

2.Obtain the IP Address of the Master from your System Administrator, if you do not have an IP Address:

Follow the steps outlined in either the Obtaining the Master’s IP Address (using DHCP) section on page 25 or Assigning a Static IP to the NetLinx Master section on page 27.

3.Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 22).

FIG. 22 Assigning Communication Settings and TCP/IP Settings

4.Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog.

5.Click on the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate that you are working with a NetLinx Master (such as the NXC-ME260 or NI-Series of Integrated Controllers).

6.Click on the TCP/IP radio button (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate you are connecting to the Master through an IP Address.

7.Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the TCP/IP Settings dialog (FIG. 22).

8.Enter the IP Address into the TCP/IP Address field. This information is obtained from either your System Administrator or from the Obtaining the Master’s IP Address (using DHCP) section on page 25.

9.Click OK three times to close the open dialogs and save your settings.

If you are currently connected to the assigned Master, a popup asks whether you would want to temporarily stop communication to the Master and apply the new settings.

10.Click Yes to interrupt the current communication from the Master and apply the new settings.
