Conf igure a Virtual NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio
A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not actually connected to a physical NetLinx Master. In this
situation, the PC takes on the functions of a Master via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This connection is made by either using the PC's
Ethernet Address (via TCP/IP using a known PC's IP Address as the Master) or using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate
directly to the panel.
Before beginning:
1.
If using the mini-USB connection, verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Settings
page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. Changing the Master Connection type requires a reboot before
the change takes effect.
2.
In NetLinx Studio, select Settings > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu to open the Master Communication
Settings dialog (FIG. 34).

(default = 1) is entered into the Master Connection section of the System Settings page and the panel is restarted.
