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

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 Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is entered into the Master
Connection section of the System Settings page and the panel is restarted.
Step 3: Confirm and Upgrade the firmware via the USB port
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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the Virtual
Master and the panel, click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window (FIG. 56) to view the devices
on the Virtual System. The default System value is one.
4. Right-click on the System entry (FIG. 56) and select Refresh System to re-populate the list.
Verify the panel appears in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window.
The default Modero panel value is 10001.
If the G4 panel does not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 193 for
more information.
A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active panel.
Connection to a previously powered panel which then reboots, allows the PC to
detect the panel and assign an appropriate USB driver.

The latest NXD-1000Vi firmware kit file is now panel-specific.
Only NXD-1000Vi firmware should be loaded onto this specific panel type.
This new firmware also provides both backwards compatibility with the previous
802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.
