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 only be achieved via a direct Ethernet connection (the NXA-WC802.11B/CF wireless interface card is not available on the CV5).

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.

System listing for the target Master.
