Configuring Communication

Configuring Communication

Communication between the Modero panel and the Master is done using either USB or ETHERNET (DHCP or Static IP). Ethernet communication can only be achieved via a direct Ethernet connection.

Before commencing, verify that you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero panel firmware, and also verify you are using the latest versions of AMX’s NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications. These are available at www.amx.com.

USB input devices must be plugged into the rear or side USB connectors before the G4 panel is powered-up. The panel will not detect a USB connection of this type until after the unit cycles power.

Device Number values to each panel, so that all assigned panels appear in the

System listing for the target Master.
