Configuring Communication
To remove the USB driver association from a previously connected NXP-PLV, you must navigate back
to the Device Manager, right-click on the device's USB driver (example: AMX USB LAN LINK #2) and
select Uninstall from the context menu and then OK.
Step 4: Use the USB to Configure a Virtual Master (using NetLinx Studio)
When configuring your device 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 that the device 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.
2. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx
Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).
3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master
Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 39).

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 device. 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. 39).
8. From within this dialog enter the System number (default is 1).

Once the system completes the removal of the device, the Device Manager window will
refresh, and the device will no longer appear.
The next time this device is connected to the computer, it will appear as a new hardware
device and will need to be associated again with the driver (refer to Step 2: Confirm the
Installation of the USB Driver on the PC section on page 29.
