Configuring Communication

The next time this device is connected to the computer it will appear as a new hardware device and will need to be associated again with the driver (refer to Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC section on page 49.

Step 4: Use the USB to Configure a Virtual Master (using NetLinx Studio)

When configuring your panel to communicate via USB with a Virtual Master (on your PC), ONLY the USB connection option must be selected within the Type field. Since this is a direct connection, the PC’s IP Address is not needed.

Before beginning:

1.Verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Connection page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. Refer to the previous section for more information.

2.Launch NetLinx Studio 2.3 (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio > NetLinx Studio 2.3).

3.Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 54).

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 directly 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. 54).
