Virtual NetLinx Master (Masterless) Transfers

NetLinx Studio v2.1 (or higher) 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 or USB connectors to connect directly to the panel, using your PC as a Virtual
NetLinx Master.

Virtual Netlinx Master USB Transfers

TPDesign4 v2.2 (or higher) supports direct connection to G4 panels via USB (and TCP/IP), for
situations where the target panel is not connected to a NetLinx Master. In this situation, you can use
your PC's USB connection to connect directly to the panel, using your PC as a Virtual NetLinx
Master.
There are three basic steps to Virtual NetLinx Master USB file transfers:

Virtual NetLinx Master supports both TCP/IP and USB connections.
Virtual NetLinx Master can be used to transfer TPDesign4 panel (.TP4) file, NetLinx
Firmware (.KIT) files, or IR Files directly to G4 touch panels.
G4 touch panels that support USB connection include the MVP-8400, MVP-7500 and
NXD/T-CV7.
USB direct transfers require that you configure the Master Connection setting on the
panel itself to USB prior to attempting the transfer.
TCP/IP direct transfers require that you configure the Master Connection setting on the
panel itself to TCP/IP prior to attempting the transfer.
