A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not connected to a physical NetLinx Master.
Page 62: Step 4: Using A Usb To Configure A Virtual Master (Using Netlinx Studio)
Verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Settings page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. Refer to the previous section for more information. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).

(turning the System Connection icon green). Step 5: Confirm and View the current AMX USB device connections Use the CC-USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-wire programming cable (FG10-5965) to provide communication between the mini-USB Program port on the touch panel and the PC.
Page 64: Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview
Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXA- PCI80211G AMX Wireless Card (FG2255-04) communicating to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA- WAP200G). In determining the Ethernet method of communication, the panel will always default first to the direct Ethernet communication.
Page 65: Configuring A Wireless Connection
Configuring Communication Configuring a Wireless Connection When working with a wireless card, the first step is to configure wireless communication parameters within the Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the card to communicate to a target WAP (such as the NXA-WAP200G), it is still necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with.
Page 66: Step 2: Configuring The Card's Wireless Security Settings
The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the unit will attempt to connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned SSID value.
