I can’t seem to completely charge

NXT-BP batteries can be charged from either an external NXT-CHG

 

my batteries from within an

battery charger or from within the NXA-BASE/B located below an NXT

 

NXA-BASE/B connected to a

panel.

 

power supply.

• The NXA-BASE/B Battery base should be updated with the latest

 

 

 

 

firmware (part of the Modero firmware KIT file) from www.amx.com.

 

 

• The base can only charge batteries while the NXT panel is in Sleep

 

 

Mode. If the panel parameters are set to their highest values, the

 

 

priority for the power draw becomes the active panel functions and

 

 

no power is routed to the base for charging.

 

 

• Adjust the Display Timeout value to allow the panel to commence the

 

 

Sleep Mode and begin charging batteries within the base (drawing

 

 

power from a PSN).

 

 

• Refer to the NXA-BASE/B Battery Base Kit (FG2255K) section on

 

 

page 25 for more information.

 

 

 

 

NetLinx Studio only detects one of

my connected Masters.

• Only one Master can be assigned to a particular System number. If

 

 

 

 

you want to work with multiple Masters, open different instances of

 

 

NetLinx Studio and assign each Master its own System value.

 

 

• Example: a site has an NXC-ME260/64 and an NI-4000. In order to

 

 

work with both units. The ME260/64 can be assigned System #1 and

 

 

the NI-4000 can then be assigned System #2 using two open

 

 

sessions of NetLinx Studio 2.x.

 

 

 

 

I can’t seem to connect to a

the Master Controller to ensure availability".

 

 

• The pinging is to determine if the Master is available, and to reply

 

 

with a connection failure instantly if it is not. Without using the ping

 

 

feature, you will still attempt to make a connection, but a failure will

 

 

take longer to be recognized. Some firewalls and networks do not

 

 

allow pinging, though, and the ping will then always result in a failure.

 

 

• When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the

 

 

program will first try to ping the controller before attempting a

 

 

connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the

 

 

device is off-line, or if the TCP/IP address that was entered was

 

 

incorrect. If you decide NOT to ping for availability and the controller

 

 

is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the program will

 

 

try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.

 

 

Note: If you are trying to connect to a master controller that is behind a

 

 

firewall, you may have to uncheck this option. Most firewalls will not

 

 

allow ping requests to pass through for security reasons.

 

 

 

 

I have more that one Modero panel

Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices (such as Modero panels) can be

 

connected to my System Master

associated for use with a single Master. Each Modero panel comes

 

and only one shows up.

with a defaulted Device Number value of 10001. When using multiple

 

 

panels, it can become very easy to overlook the need to assign

 

 

different Device Number values to each panel.

 

 

• Press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to

 

 

open the Setup page.

 

 

• Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the

 

 

panel page), enter 1988 into the on-screen Keypad’s password field,

 

 

and press Done when finished.

 

 

• Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number

 

 

Keypad. The default is 10001 and the range is from 1 - 32000.
