Symptom
There is a crawling, dashed line on

Solution
• Some units at some resolutions have wavy lines across the entire
screen. This has been seen on middle resolutions and is referred to
as the "Mid Range Fallout" problem. This is due to the graphics
controller settings in the firmware.
• Update to the latest v2.XX.XX firmware. Visit the www.amx.com >
Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Firmware Files > Modero
panels and download the KIT file to your computer.
Each Master is give a Device Address of 00000.
• Only one Master can be assigned to a particular System number. If
you want to work with multiple Masters, open different instances of
NetLinx Studio and assign each Master its own System value.
• Example: a site has an NXC-ME260/64 and an NI-4000. In order to
work with both units, the ME260/64 can be assigned System #1 and
the NI-4000 can then be assigned System #2 using two open
sessions of NetLinx Studio 2.
• From the Settings > Master Comm Settings > Communication
Settings > Settings (for TCP/IP), uncheck the "Automatically Ping
the Master Controller to ensure availability".
• The pinging is to determine if the Master is available, and to reply
with a connection failure instantly if it is not. Without using the ping
feature, you will still attempt to make a connection, but a failure will
take longer to be recognized. Some firewalls and networks do not
allow pinging, though, and the ping will then always result in a failure.
• When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the
program will first try to ping the controller before attempting a
connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the
device is off-line, or if the TCP/IP address that was entered was
incorrect. If you decide NOT to ping for availability and the controller
is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the program will
try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.
Note: If you are trying to connect to a master controller that is behind a
firewall, you may have to uncheck this option. Most firewalls will not
allow ping requests to pass through for security reasons.
Multiple NetLinx-compatible devices can be associated for use with a
single Master. Each device comes with a defaulted Device Number
value of 10001. When using multiple devices, it is very easy to overlook
the need to assign different Device Number values to each panel.
• Press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to
open the Setup page.
• Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the
panel page), enter 1988 into the on-screen Keypad's password field,
and press Done when finished.
• Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number
Keypad. The default is 10001 and the range is from 1 - 32000.
