my connected Masters.

• Only one Master can be assigned to a particular System number.

 

 

When working with multiple Masters, open different instances of

 

 

NetLinx Studio and assign each Master its own System value.

 

 

• Example: a site has an NXC-ME260/64 and an NI-4000. In order to

 

 

work with both units. The ME260/64 can be assigned System #1 and

 

 

the NI-4000 can then be assigned System #2 using two open

 

 

sessions of NetLinx Studio 2.

the Master Controller to ensure availability" box.

 

 

• The pinging is to determine if the Master is available, and to reply

 

 

with a connection failure instantly if it is not. Without using the ping

 

 

feature, you will still attempt to make a connection, but a failure will

 

 

take longer to be recognized. Some firewalls and networks do not

 

 

allow pinging, though, and the ping will then always result in a failure.

 

 

• When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the

 

 

program will first try to ping the controller before attempting a

 

 

connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the

 

 

device is off-line, or if the TCP/IP address that was entered was

 

 

incorrect. If you decide NOT to ping for availability and the controller

 

 

is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the program will

 

 

try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.

 

 

Note: When trying to connect to a master controller that is behind a

 

 

firewall, unchecking this option may be required. Most firewalls will not

 

 

allow ping requests to pass through for security reasons.

with a defaulted Device Number value of 10001. When using multiple

 

 

panels, it can become very easy to overlook the need to assign

 

 

different Device Number values to each panel.

 

 

• Press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to

 

 

open the Setup page.

 

 

• Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the

 

 

panel page), enter 1988 into the on-screen Keypad’s password field,

 

 

and press Done when finished.

 

 

• Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number

 

 

Keypad. The default is 10001 and the range is from 1 - 32000.
