6. In this dialog, enter the Master System Number (default = 1).

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

application.

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

Default System value = 1.

9. In the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window, right-click on the Empty Device Tree/System entry and

select Refresh System Online Tree 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 Connection page and the panel is restarted.

The Connection status on the panel’s Status page turns green after a few seconds to indicate an

active USB connection to the Virtual Master on the PC. No Lock icon is displayed because this

USB connection is not secured and does not require a username and password.

If a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection 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).

If the G4 panel still does not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 121 for more

information.

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.

Verify this direct USB connection (Type-A on the panel to mini-USB on the panel) is configured properly

using the steps outlined in the previous two sections.

With the panel already configured for USB communication and the Virtual Master setup within NetLinx

Studio, its now time to verify the panel is ready to receive files.

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

default System value is one.

2. Right-click on the System entry and select Display > Refresh System Online Tree. This causes a refresh

of all project systems, establishes a new connection to the Virtual Master, and populates the System list

with devices on your system.
