Master Connection section - Virtual Master communication over Ethernet

When configuring your panel to communicate with a Virtual Master (on your PC) via
Ethernet, the Master IP/URL field must be configured to match the IP Address of the
PC and make sure to use the Virtual System value assigned to the Virtual Master
within NetLinx Studio.
Before beginning:
1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate through an Ethernet cable (connected from
either the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub).
2. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx
Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).
3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master
Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 40).
4. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog.
5. Click on the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate that you
are working as a NetLinx Master.
6. Click on the Virtual Master radio box (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate
you are wanting to configure the PC to communicate with a panel. Everything else such as the
Authentication is greyed-out because you are not going through the Master's UI.
7. Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the Virtual NetLinx
Master Settings dialog (FIG. 40).
