Configuring Communication
Check with your System Administrator for a
3.Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to Static.
4.Press the IP Address field to open a Keyboard and enter the Static IP Address provided by your System Administrator.
5.Press Done after you are finished entering the IP information.
6.Repeat the same process for the Subnet Mask and Gateway fields.
7.Press the optional Host Name field to open the Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.
8.Press Done after assigning the
9.Press the Primary DNS field to open a Keyboard, enter the Primary DNS Address provided by your System Administrator, and press Done when compete. Repeat this process for the Secondary DNS field.
10.Press the Domain field to open a Keyboard, enter the resolvable domain Address provided by your System Administrator, and press Done when complete.
11.Navigate to the Master Connection section of this page to begin configuring the communication parameters for the target Master.
Step 2: Choose a Master Connection Mode Setting
The Master Connection section of the System Connection page uses three Ethernet MODE settings.
URL is the most common method.
Master Connection MODE options:
•URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility.
In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it).
•LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".
•AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required.
This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the installation manual for the particular NetLinx Master for more detailed information.
Step 3: Configure an Ethernet Connection Type
When using Ethernet as the selected communication method, the NetLinx Master must first be set up with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio or your System Administrator.
Before beginning:
1.Verify that the panel has been configured to communicate through an Ethernet cable connected from the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub.
