Using FileTransfer2
Configuring FileTransfer2 for Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Transfers
1. Click Edit and select Communication Settings to open the Communication Settings dialog.
2. Select Virtual NetLinx Master as the Transport Connection Option.
3. Click the Edit Settings button to access the Virtual NetLinx Master Settings dialog, which
displays the System number of the Virtual NetLinx Master (default = 1).
Assuming that the actual NetLinx Master is set to 0 (via the System Properties dialog - System
ID field), this default setting will work. However, if you have designated any other number as
the System ID, be sure to set this System Number to a different number than the System ID, to
avoid a conflict with the actual NetLinx Master (range = 1-65535).
As indicated in the Virtual NetLinx Master dialog, changes made to the system
number field will not take effect until all communications are stopped and restarted.
4. Click OK to close the Virtual NetLinx Master Settings dialog.
5. Click OK to close the Communication Settings dialog.
Transferring Files Using a Virtual NetLinx Master TCP/IP Connection
Verify that Virtual NetLinx Master is selected as the Transport Connection Option in
the Communication Settings dialog.
To use Virtual NetLinx Master to transfer TPDesign4 panel (.TP4) files or IR files directly to a
MVP-7500, MVP-8400 or NXD/T-CV7 panel via TCP/IP:
1. Click the Add button to open the Select Files for File Transfer dialog.
2. Click the Other tab, and select the type of file you want to transfer (only IRL/IRV, TP4 or IRN
files can be transferred via a Virtual NetLinx Master connection).
3. Click the Add button. This invokes the Open dialog, where you can locate and select the file
you want to transfer.
4. Select the desired file and click OK to close this dialog and invoke the Enter Device Mapping
Information dialog.
5. Review the mapping information, and click OK to return to the Select Files for File Transfer
dialog.
6. Click OK to return to the Send tab, where the new file should appear in the Files to Send
queue.
7. Click inside the checkbox to the left of the file you just added. Keep in mind that any files with
a checkmark will be included in this transfer.
Note that the Connection column indicates that the file you just added is using Virtual NetLinx
Master.
8. Click the Send button to begin the transfer.
