If a yellow exclamation point appears next to the AMX USB LAN LINK device (within the hardware devices section of the Unplug or Eject Hardware window), stop and close the USB operation. Reconnect the USB cable to the panel and repeat the setup procedures. Refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 131 for more detailed information.

To remove the USB driver association from a previously connected touch panel, navigate back to the Device Manager, right-click on the panel’s USB driver (example AMX USB LAN LINK #2) and select Uninstall from the context menu and then OK.

Once the system completes the removal of the device, the Device Manager window will refresh, and the device will no longer appear.

The next time this device is connected to the computer, it will appear as a new hardware device and will need to be associated again with the driver (refer to Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC section on page 25 for more information).

Step 4: Use the USB to Configure a Virtual Master (using NetLinx Studio)

When configuring the panel to communicate via USB with a Virtual Master on your PC, ONLY the USB connection option must be selected within the Type field. Since this is a direct connection, the PC’s IP Address is not needed.

Before beginning:

1.Verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Connection page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. Refer to the previous section for more information.

2.Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).

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

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

5.Click on the NetLinx Master radio button in the Platform Selection section to indicate that this is working as a NetLinx Master.
