AMX NXD-CV5 manual Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

Configuring Communication

Step 5: Confirm and View the current AMX USB device connections

Use the CC-USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-wire programming cable (FG10-5965) to provide communication between the mini-USB Program port on the touch panel and the PC. This method of communication is used to transfer firmware KIT files and TPD4 touch panel files.

A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active panel. Connection to a previously powered panel which then reboots, allows the PC to detect the panel and assign an appropriate USB driver.

1.Verify this direct USB connection (Type-A on the panel to mini-USB on the panel) is configured properly using the steps outlined in the previous two sections.

2.With the panel already configured for USB communication and the Virtual Master setup within NetLinx Studio, its now time to verify the panel is ready to receive files.

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

4.Right-click on the System entry (A in FIG. 38) and select Refresh System. This causes a refresh of all project systems, establishes a new connection to the Virtual Master, and populates the System list with devices on your particular system.

Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

It is necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Connection page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a Master).
