TPDesign4 (v3.2 or higher)
TPD4 supports direct connection to G4 panels for situations where the target panel is not connected to a
NetLinx Master. In this situation, you can use your PC's Ethernet connection to connect directly to the panel,
using your PC as a Virtual NetLinx Master.
This feature is primarily intended for use by designers, to allow them to create panel files and then test them on
a panel without necessarily having access to a Master.
Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
In this situation, you can use your PC's Ethernet connection to connect directly to the panel, using your PC as
a Virtual NetLinx Master.
There are three basic steps to Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP file transfers:
1. Configuring the Touch Panel for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
2. Configuring TPD4 for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
3. Transferring Files Using a Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Connection
Configuring the Touch Panel for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
To configure the panel for Virtual NetLinx Master transfers via TCP/IP:
1. On the Touch Panel, press and hold the Setup Access button (on the front panel, below the touch screen)
for 3 seconds to access the Setup page.
2. Press the Protected Setup button to access the Protected Setup page.
3. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the password (the default password is 1988).
4. Press the System Connection button to access the System Connection Setup page.
5. Select Ethernet as the Master Connection.
6. Select URL as the Connection Mode.
7. Set the System Number to 0 (zero).
8. Select the Master URL / IP input box and enter the IP address of your PC (displayed in the Virtual
NetLinx Master Properties dialog).
9. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page and press the Reboot button to reboot the
panel.
10. After several seconds, the panel should appear in the online device tree, listed as Virtual NetLinx Master.
Once you can see the device online, you may transfer panel files to and from the G4 device without the
need for an intermediate NetLinx master.
Configuring TPD4 for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
1.
Select Transfer > Connect to open the Connect dialog (or click the toolbar button).
2. Select <Virtual NetLinx Master>[] from the Connection drop-down list.
3. Click the Properties button to access the Virtual NetLinx Master Properties dialog, which displays the
Host Name and IP address for your PC.
4. Write down the IP address.
a. Enter this IP address as the Master's URL/IP on the System Connection Setup page on the touch
panel.
b. Once you have entered the IP address of the PC (acting as a Virtual NetLinx Master), press the
Reboot button on the System Connection Setup page to reboot the panel.
If it is not already powered up and connected, apply power to the touch panel and
verify that it is connected to the LAN via the TCP/IP connector on the rear (or side) of
the panel (G4 panels only).
The Virtual NetLinx Master connection allows G4 devices to directly connect to
TPDesign4 instead of a physical NetLinx master for transfers.
