Master Connection Mode Options

There are five Ethernet MODE settings available:
URL (Uniform Resource Locater) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. In

this system, the TPI acts essentially as a "Client" and the Master acts as a "Server".
This is the recommended setting for most situations.
LISTEN sets the TPI to "listen" for connections from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list). In this system, the TPI

acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".
AUTO (default setting) is used to instruct the TPI to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned

within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. AUTO should only be used in systems with a
single NetLinx Master on the network.
NDP (UDP) uses multicasting to allow devices to discover each other. The devices must be on a network that allows

multicasting and is setup so that if the device and the Master are on separate subnets, the multicasting allows them to
discover each other.
URL (UDP) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. In this system, the panel

acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it). In this case, the Master has its UDP feature
enabled.
