Configuring Communication

Master Connection to a Virtual Master via Ethernet

When configuring your panel to communicate with a Virtual Master (on your PC) via wireless Ethernet, the Master IP/URL field must be configured to match the IP Address of the PC and make sure to use the Virtual System value assigned to the Virtual Master within NetLinx Studio.

Before beginning:

1.Verify the panel has been configured to communicate with the Wireless Access Point and verify the signal strength quality bargraph is On.

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. 40).

Enter this IP into the Master IP/URL field on the

System Settings page

IP Addresses of computer (also obtained by using the Start > Run > cmd command)

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

5.Click on the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate that you are working as a NetLinx Master.

6.Click on the Virtual Master radio box (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate you are wanting to configure the PC to communicate with a panel. Everything else such as the Authentication is greyed-out because you are not going through the Master’s UI.

7.Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the Virtual NetLinx Master Settings dialog (FIG. 40).

8.From within this dialog enter the System number (default is 1) and note the IP Address of the target PC being used as the Virtual Master. This IP Address can also be obtained by following these procedures:

On your PC, click Start > Run to open the Run dialog.

Enter cmd into the Open field and click OK to open the command DOS prompt.

From the C:\> command line, enter ipconfig to display the IP Address of the PC. This information is entered into the Master IP/URL field on the panel.

9.Click OK three times to close the open dialogs, save your settings, and return to the main NetLinx Studio application.

10.Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the Virtual System. The default System value is one.

11.Right-click on the Empty Device Tree/System entry and select Refresh System to re-populate the list.

12.Connect the terminal end of the PS4.4 power cable to the 12 VDC power connector on the side of the stand-alone touch panel.
