Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
FileTransfer2 supports direct connection to G4 panels via TCP/IP (and USB), for situations where
the target panel is not connected to a NetLinx Master. In this situation, you can use your PC's
Ethernet connection to connect directly to the panel, using your PC as a Virtual NetLinx Master.
There are three basic steps to Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP file transfers:
1. Configuring the Touch Panel for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
2. Configuring FileTransfer2 for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
3. Transferring Files Using a Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Connection
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.
