Upgrading the Modero Firmware via Ethernet (IP Address)
Before beginning with this section, verify that your panel is powered and connected to the NetLinx
Master through an Ethernet connection (direct or wireless).
Step 1: Prepare the Master for communication via an IP
1. Obtain the IP Address of the NetLinx Master from your System Administrator. If you do not
have an IP Address for the Master, refer to your particular Master’s instruction manual for
more information on obtaining this IP Address using NetLinx Studio 2.3 or higher.
From the Online Tree tab of the Workspace window, select the NetLinx Master.
Follow steps outlined in either the Obtaining or Assigning the Master’s IP Address
sections from your particular NetLinx Master instruction manual to use an address.
Note the IP Address and Gateway 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. 73).
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 with a NetLinx Master (such as the NXC-ME260/64 or NI-Series of
Integrated Controllers).
6. Click on the Authentication Required radio box (if the Master is secured) and then enter a
username and password.
7. Click on the TCP/IP radio button (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate
you are connecting to the Master through an IP Address.
8. Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the TCP/IP
Settings dialog (FIG. 73).
