14. Within this dialog, you must enter a previously configured username and password (with sufficient rights) before
being able to successfully connect to the Master.
15. Click OK to save your newly entered information and return to the previous Communication Settings dialog where

19. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value
is one (1).
20. Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new connection to the
specified System and populates the list with devices on that system. The communication method is then highlighted
in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.
Step 2: Prepare the panel for communication via an IP
1.
Press the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to the word Ethernet.
2. Press the blue Mode field until the choice cycles to the word URL.
By selecting URL, the System Number field becomes read-only (grey) because the panel pulls this value
directly from the communicating target Master (virtual or not). A Virtual Master system value can be set
within the active AMX software applications such as: NetLinx Studio, TPD4, or IREdit.
3. Press the red Master IP/URL field to open a Keyboard and enter the NetLinx Master’s IP Address (obtained from
the Diagnostics - Networking Address dialog of the NetLinx Studio application).
4. Click Done to accept the new value and return to the System Configuration page.
5. Do not alter the Master Port Number value (this is the default value used by NetLinx).
6. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to restart the
panel and save any changes.
Step 3: Verify and Upgrade the panel firmware via an IP
1.
Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value
is one.
2. Right-click the associated System number (from the Workspace window) and select Refresh System to detect of all
devices on the current system, establish a new connection to the Master, and refresh the System list with devices on
that system.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the PC and the
Master, verify the panel appears in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window (FIG. 94). The default Modero
panel value is 10001.
If you are currently connected to the assigned Master, a popup asks whether you
would want to temporarily stop communication to the Master and apply the new
settings.
