Using FileTransfer2
Configuring the Touch Panel for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
If it is not already powered up and connected, apply power to the G4 panel and verify that it is
connected to the LAN via the TCP/IP connector on the rear (or side) of the panel.
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. Set the System Number to 0 (zero).
7. Select the Master URL / IP input box and enter the IP address of your PC.
To get your PC's IP address, select Start > Run and type cmd to open a DOS
window. Then, enter ipconfig to display the IP address of your PC.
8. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page and press the Reboot button to
reboot the panel.
Step 3: Device Mapping
Every time you select a file (to send or receive) via the Select Files For File Transfer dialog (Other
tab), the program prompts you to enter (or verify) its device mapping information, in the Enter
Device Mapping Information dialog.
Use this dialog to define the Device:Port:System (D:P:S) address assignment for a target device.
Editing Device Mapping Information
Device-file mapping information for each file (which associates a device address with each file) is
established and saved with the files when they are created in NetLinx Studio, but can be overwritten
in FileTransfer2, via the Device Mapping options (accessible via the Edit menu):
1. Select a file in the Transfer List (Send or Receive tab).
2. Click Edit to open the Edit menu, and select Device Mapping. This opens the Enter DPS
dialog.
3. Enter the Device:Port:System (D:P:S) information for the selected file.
4. Click OK to save the D:P:S assignment and close the dialog.
Device:Port:System (D:P:S)
A device is any hardware component that can be connected to the NetLinx bus. Each device must
be assigned a unique number to locate that device on the bus. The Axcess language allows physical
device numbers in the range 0-255. The NetLinx language allows numbers in the range 0-32767.
Device 0 refers to the master; numbers above 32767 are reserved for internal use.
NetLinx requires a Device:Port:System (D:P:S) specification where Axcess expected only a device
number. This D:P:S triplet can be expressed as series of constants, variables separated by colons, or
as a DEV structure, to explicitly represent a device number, port and system.
