File Transfer Operations
NetLinx Studio supports asynchronous communications (send and receive to and from the bus on
all available communications ports simultaneously). You can send and receive both Axcess and
NetLinx Source Code files to and from the Master Controller or bus device.
 Axcess or NetLinx Source Code files (.AXS) can be sent to the Master Controller, or
other control devices on the bus. Source code files must be successfully compiled before
they can be sent.
 Touch Panel UI files created in TPDesign3 (.TPD) are sent directly to wired Touch Panels
on the bus via an AXlink/serial connection where the Device ID = 0.
 Touch Panel UI files created in TPDesign4 (.TP4) are sent to the Master, either serially or
over TCP/IP. G4 panels are connected to the Masters via TCP/IP and cannot be sent over
AXlink. You can choose to include buttons and pages only, or include fonts, bitmaps and/
or icons in the transfer.
 KeyPad UI files (.KPD) are sent to a NetLinx Master.
