Configuring Virtual Netlinx Master Communication Settings (Netlinx Only)

Communication Settings dialog.
2. Select NetLinx Master as the Platform Selection.
3. Select Virtual NetLinx Master as the Transport Connection Option.
4. Click Edit Settings to access the Virtual NetLinx Master Settings dialog, which displays the
System number (and IP address) of the Virtual NetLinx Master (default = 1).
Assuming that the actual NetLinx Master is set to 0 (via the System Properties dialog - System
ID field), this default setting will work. However, if you have designated any other number as
the System ID, be sure to set this System Number to a different number than the System ID, to
avoid a conflict with the actual NetLinx Master (range = 1-65535).

6. Click OK to save the new VNM communication settings with the selected file.
