The G4 Web Control feature allows you to use a PC to interact with a G4 enabled panel via the web. This feature works in tandem with the new browser-capable NetLinx Security firmware update (build 300 or higher). G4 Web Control is only available with the latest Modero panel firmware.

Refer to the G4 Web Control Page section on page 108 for more detailed field information.

Verify your NetLinx Master (ME260/64 or NI-Series) has been installed with the latest firmware KIT file from www.amx.com. Refer to your NetLinx Master instruction manual for more detailed information on the use of the new web-based NetLinx Security.
