Modifying the Source Code on your Master
Before you can use either the Computer Control or TakeNote applications, you must first modify
the NetLinx Master Source Code to support the new (G4CC) functionality:
1. Insert the NXA-USBTN stick into a USB port on the PC that is being controlled. Confirm that
a new USB detection icon appears in the windows taskbar.
2. Launch NetLinx Studio, select File > Open, navigate to the assigned USB stick drive and open
the cc-GuestPC Test.axs file. This file acts as a source for the various communication
parameters needed by the Master to allow the initial communication between the panel and the
PC.
3. Scroll through the code in the cc-GuestPC TEST.axs file, and add the following information
into your Master Source Code:
If the configCC application has not yet been used to configure G4CC, the panel
displays a message stating it cannot connect to the target PC. Once configCC has
been run and G4CC is configured, this message will disappear and the target PC
image will be reflected on the panel.
