Master Connection Section - NetLinx Master Ethernet IP Address - URL Mode
In this mode, enter the System Number (zero for an unknown System Number) and the IP/URL of the Master (the
Master Port Number is defaulted to 1319).
1. In the System Settings page, press the Mode field until the choice cycles to 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.
2. Press the Master IP/URL field to open a Keyboard and enter the Master IP Address obtained from the Diagnostics -
Networking Address dialog of the NetLinx Studio application.
3. Click Done to accept the new value and return to the System Connection page.
4. Do not alter the Master Port Number value. This is the default value used by NetLinx.
5. Enter a username and password (into their respective fields) if the target Master has been previously secured.
6. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page.
Master Connection Section - NetLinx Master Ethernet IP Address - Listen Mode
In this mode, add the Modero panel IP Address into the URL List of the Master by using NetLinx Studio. This mode sets
the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list).
1. Obtain either a Static IP for the Modero panel (from your System Administrator) or a DHCP Address from the IP
Settings of the System Connection page.
The DHCP/Static field, in the IP Settings section of the System Settings page, must be set to DHCP to get
Dynamic IP information for the panel.
Press the on-screen Reboot (from the Protected Setup page) to save any changes and restart the panel.
After power-up, press the front button for 3 seconds to access the Setup page.
Navigate to the Setup > Protected Setup > System Settings page and note the newly obtained Dynamic IP
Address information from the IP Settings section. This information is then entered into the URL List for the
connected NetLinx Master.
2. Toggle the Type field until Ethernet is selected (from the Master Connection section of the System Connection
page).
3. Press the Mode field (to set the connection Mode) until the choice cycles to Listen. The System Number and Master
IP/URL fields are then greyed out.
4. Enter a username and password into their respective fields if the target Master has been previously secured.
5. Select the OnLine Tree tab from the Workspace window.
6. Enter the System and Device number for the specific Master associated with the touch panel as seen in the OnLine
Tree tab.
7. Click Add and enter the IP Address of the Modero touch panel into the Add URL dialog.
8. Click OK to enter the IP Address and add it to the list.
9. Click Done when finished adding your panel information to the list.
Master Connection Section - NetLinx Master Ethernet IP Address - Auto Mode
In this mode, enter the System Number of the NetLinx Master.
This mode instructs the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master
Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself.
1. In the System Settings page, press the Mode field until the choice cycles to the word Auto.
2. Press the System Number field to launch a Keypad and enter the value for the system number of the NetLinx Master.
This value can be obtained from the NetLinx Studio program > OnLine Tree of the Workspace window.
3. Do not alter the IP Settings section of the System Settings page, as these fields are not applicable to this connection
mode.
If the panel does not appear within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window of
NetLinx Studio, check to make sure that the NetLinx Master System Number from
within the Device Addressing dialog is correctly assigned.
