Configuring the Touch Panel for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
If it is not already powered up and connected, apply power to the touch panel and verify that it is
connected to the LAN via the TCP/IP connector on the rear (or side) of the panel (G4 panels only).
To configure the panel for Virtual NetLinx Master transfers:
1. Press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (below the touch screen) for 3 seconds to
access the Setup page.
2. Press the Protected Setup button to access the Protected Setup page.
3. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter the password (the default password is 1988).
4. Press the System Connection button to access the System Connection Setup page.
5. Select Ethernet as the Master Connection.
6. Select URL as the Connection Mode.
7. Set the System Number to 0 (zero).
8. Select the Master URL / IP input box and enter the IP address of your PC (displayed in the
Virtual NetLinx Master Properties dialog).
9. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page and press the Reboot button to
reboot the panel.
10. After several seconds, the panel should appear in the online device tree, listed as Virtual
NetLinx Master. Once you can see the device online, you may transfer panel files to and from
the G4 device without the need for an intermediate NetLinx master.
