Configuring NetLinx Studio for Virtual NetLinx Master Transfers
1. Select Settings > Master Communications to open the Master Communication Settings
dialog.
2. Make a selection in the Available Systems list to specify the scope of this communication
setting:
 Select <No Active System-Default Settings> to set Virtual NetLinx Master as the
default communication setting.
 To set Virtual NetLinx Master as the communication setting for a particular system in the
active project, select one of the Systems listed under NetLinx Project.
3. Click Communication Settings to access the Communication Settings dialog.
4. Ver i fy t hat NetLinx Master is selected as the Platform Selection, and select Virtual NetLinx
Master as the Transport Connection Option.
5. Click Edit Settings to access the Virtual NetLinx Master Settings dialog.
6. The System Number field is set to 1 by default. 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).
Transferring Files Using A Virtual Netlinx Master Usb Connection
To use Virtual NetLinx Master to transfer TPDesign4 panel (.TP4) files, NetLinx Firmware (.KIT)
files or IR files directly to a MVP-7500, MVP-8400 or NXD/T-CV7 panel via USB:
1. Select Tools > File Transfer to open the File Transfer dialog (open to the Send tab).
2. Click the Add button to open the Select Files for File Transfer dialog.
3. Click the Other tab, and select the type of file you want to transfer (only IRL/IRV, TP4 or IRN
files can be transferred via a Virtual NetLinx Master connection).
4. Click the Add button. This invokes the Open dialog, where you can locate and select the file
you want to transfer.
As indicated in the Virtual NetLinx Master dialog, changes made to the system
number field will not take effect until all communications are stopped and restarted.
Verify that Virtual NetLinx Master is selected as the Transport Connection Option in
the Communication Settings dialog.
