Step 4: Use the USB to Configure a Virtual Master (using NetLinx Studio)

When configuring your panel to communicate via USB with a Virtual Master (on your
PC), ONLY the USB connection option must be selected within the Type field. Since
this is a direct connection, the PC's IP Address is not needed.
Before beginning:
1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Connection
page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. Refer to the previous section for
more information.
2. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.3 (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc >
NetLinx Studio > NetLinx Studio 2.3).
3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master
Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 54).

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 directly 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. 54).
8. From within this dialog enter the System number (default is 1).
