Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

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 as a NetLinx Master.

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. 57).

8. From within this dialog enter the System number (default is 1).

9. Click OK three times to close the open dialogs, save your settings, and return to the main NetLinx Studio

application.

10. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the Virtual System.

The default System value is one.

11. Right-click on the Empty Device Tree/System entry and select Refresh System to re-populate the list.

The panel will not appear as a device below the virtual system number (in the Online Tree tab) until

both the system number used in step 7 for the VNM is entered into the Master Connection section of

the System Settings page and the panel is restarted.

The Connection status turns green after a few seconds to indicate an active USB connection to the

PC (Virtual Master). No Lock icon is displayed because this USB connection is not secured

(requiring a username/password).

If a few minutes have gone by and the System Settings icon still does not turn green, repeat the

USB connection and Virtual Master setup procedures (outlined in this section). Refreshing the

System sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the communication (turning the

System Connection icon green).

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.
