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 be achieved through either a direct connection (Ethernet) or through the use of the optional NXA-WC802.11GCF wireless CF card.

Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero panel firmware. Verify you are using the latest versions of AMX’s NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 programs.

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.
