Upgrading the Modero Firmware via an IP Address
Before beginning with this section, verify that your panel is powered and connected to the NetLinx Master through an
Ethernet connection (direct or wireless).
Step 1: Prepare the Master for communication via an IP
1.
Obtain the IP Address of the NetLinx Master from your System Administrator. If you do not have an IP Address for
the Master, refer to your particular Master’s instruction manual for more information on obtaining this IP Address
using NetLinx Studio 2.
From the Online Tree tab of the Workspace window, select the NetLinx Master.
Follow steps outlined in either the Obtaining or Assigning the Master’s IP Address sections from your
particular NetLinx Master instruction manual to use an address.
Note the IP Address and Gateway information.
2. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio 2 >
NetLinx Studio 2).
3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu to open the Master Communication
Settings dialog (FIG. 93).
4. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog.
5. Click on the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate you are working with a
NetLinx Master (such as the NXC-ME260/64 or NI-Series of Integrated Controllers).
6. Click on the TCP/IP radio button (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate you are connecting to
the Master through an IP Address.
7. Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the TCP/IP Settings dialog
(FIG. 93). This dialog contains a series of previously entered IP Address/URLs and their associated names, all of
which are stored within Studio and are user-editable.
8. Click the New button to open the New TCP/IP Settings dialog where you can enter both a previously obtained
DHCP or Static IP Address and an associated description for the connection into their respective fields.
9. Place a checkmark within the Automatically Ping the Master Controller to ensure availability radio box to make
sure the Master is initially responding online before establishing full communication.
