Netlinx Diagnostics - Url Lists; Creating A Url List - AMX NETLINX STUDIO V2.4 Instruction Manual

NetLinx Diagnostics - URL Lists

Use the URL Listing dialog to create a URL List for the specified master. The URL List identifies
all NetLinx devices present in the same System as the Master that you are connected to.
You must enter a URL for each device in the System before you can use ID Mode on other devices.
Only devices defined in the URL list will appear in the On-line device tree (with the
exception of the Master that you are connected to).

Creating a URL List

1. Select Diagnostics > URL Listing (or click the toolbar button) to access the URL Listing
dialog.
2. Enter the System and Device numbers for the Master that you are connected to in the
appropriate text boxes. The range is 0-65535.
3. To add a device to the URL List, click Add. This opens the Add URL dialog.
4. Enter the web address (URL or IP Address) of the device in the URL text box and click OK to
return to the URL List dialog.
If you enter a valid URL for a device, the program generates the device's IP Address.
5. Initially the connection status reads Looking up URL. Once found, the new device appears in
the URL List with its IP Port assignment = 1319.
Do not change the IP Port number! An IP Address is assigned to this URL and is
displayed in the IP Address column.
6. Click Get URL List to refresh the URL List after adding a device.
7. Repeat steps 1-5 for as many additional devices as are required.
