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 NXP-PLV and the PC. This method of communication is
used to transfer firmware KIT files and TPD4 touch panel files.
A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active device.
Connection to a previously powered device which then reboots, allows the PC to
detect the device and assign an appropriate USB driver.
1. Verify this direct USB connection (Type-A on the device to mini-USB on the device) is configured
properly using the steps outlined in the previous two sections.
2. With the device already configured for USB communication and the Virtual Master setup within
NetLinx Studio, verify the device is ready to receive files. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the
Workspace window to view the devices on the Virtual System. The default System value is one.

The Connection status turns green after a few seconds to indicate an active USB connection to
the PC (Virtual Master). No Lock icon is displayed because this USB connection is not
secured (requiring a username/password).
If a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection icon still does not turn green, repeat
the USB connection and Virtual Master setup procedures (outlined in this section). Refreshing
the System sends out a request to the device to respond and completes the communication
(turning the System Connection icon green).
