15. Click OK to save your newly entered information and return to the previous Communication Settings dialog where you must
click OK again to begin the communication process to your Master.
NOTE: 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.
16. Click Yes to interrupt the current communication from the Master and apply the new settings.
17. Click Reboot (from the Tools > Reboot the Master Controller dialog) and wait for the System Master to reboot. The STATUS and
OUTPUT LEDs should begin to alternately blink during the incorporation. Wait until the STATUS LED is the only LED to blink.
18. Press Done once until the Master Reboot Status field reads *Reboot of System Complete*.
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.
NOTE: The panel firmware is shown on the right of the listed panel.
4. If the panel firmware being used is not current, download the latest Kit file by first logging in to www.amx.com and then
navigate to Te ch Ce nt er > Firmware Files and from within the Modero section of the web page locate your Modero panel.
5. Click on the desired Kit f ile link and after you’ve accepted the Licensing Agreement, verify you have downloaded the Modero Kit
f ile to a known location.
6. From within Studio, select To ol s > Firmware Transfers > Send to NetLinx Device from the Main menu to open the Send to
NetLinx Device dialog (FIG. 95). Verify the panel’s System and Device number values match those values listed within the
System folder in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window.
