Using G4 Web Control to Interact with a G4 Panel

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 156 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.

7.The Network Interface Select field is read-only and displays the method of communication to the web. Verify you have selected the proper interface connection as this field does not auto-detect the connection type being used (see below).

Wired is used when a direct Ethernet connection is being used for communication to the web. This is the default setting if either no wireless interface card is detected or if both an Ethernet and wireless card connection is detected by the panel.

Wireless is used when a wireless card is detected within the internal card slot. This method provides an indirect communication to the web via a pre-configured Wireless Access Point.

8.Press the Web Control Name field to open the Web Name keyboard.
