Sets the address of the primary DNS server being used by the TPI/4 for host
name lookups.
• DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on
a local network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by host and domain. The
DNS server maintains a database of host names for its' domain and their
corresponding IP Addresses.
Sets the secondary DNS value to the TPI/4.
Sets the unique name on the Internet to the TPI/4 for DNS look-up.
• The TPI/4 belongs to the DNS domain.
Sets the speed of the Ethernet connection to the TPI/4.
• Choices are: Auto, 10 Half Duplex, 10 Full Duplex, 100 Half Duplex, or
100 Full Duplex.
Displays a read-only field that is factory set by AMX for the built-in Ethernet
interface.
Sets the NetLinx Master communication values:
Sets the NetLinx Master to communicate to the TPI/4 via either ICSNet or
Ethernet. This is based on the cable connection from the rear.
• ICSNet is a CAT-5 cable (terminated in an RJ-45 connector) used to distribute
communications between the NetLinx Master and the TPI/4. ICSNet differs
from Ethernet in that ICSNet can provide power to any connected devices.
• Ethernet is a CAT-5 cable (10/100Base T terminated in an RJ-45 connector)
used to network computers together and is used in most LAN (local area
networks). This description is also used to refer to both wired and wireless
communication.
Cycles between the different connection modes (URL, Listen, and Auto)
(ETHERNET Only)
• URL - In this mode, enter the IP/URL, Master Port Number, and
username/password (if used) on the Master.
- The System Number field is read-only because the TPI/4 obtains this
information from the communicating Master.
• Listen - In this mode, add the TPI/4 address into the URL List in NetLinx
Studio and set the connection mode to Listen. This mode allows the TPI/4 to
"listen" for the Master's communication signals.
- The System Number and Master IP/URL fields are red-only.
• Auto - In this mode, enter the System Number and a username/password
(if applicable). This mode is used when both the TPI/4 and the NetLinx
Master are on the same Subnet and the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
- Master IP/URL field is read-only.
Allows you to enter a system number.
• Default value is 0 (zero). (ETHERNET Only)
Sets the Master IP or URL of the NetLinx Master. (ETHERNET Only)
Allows you to enter the port number used with the NetLinx Master.
• Default value is 1319. (ETHERNET Only)
If the target Master has been previously secured, enter the alpha-numeric string
(into each field) assigned to a pre-configured user profile on the Master.
This profile should have the pre-defined level of access/configuration rights.
