Communication Parameters - Ethernet Connections; Communication Parameters - Ir Connections; Communication Parameters - Modem Connections - AMX VISUALARCHITECT 1.1 Manual

These device properties include communication parameters, and the communication parameters
displayed depend on the selected device's control type.
Each device's control type is also indicated in the Device Element (in the System diagram).

Communication Parameters - Ethernet Connections

The following parameters are required for Ethernet connections, and are set via fields in the Device
Properties window.
These fields are only displayed if an Ethernet connection type is selected for the
device.
In most applications, the default communications settings should suffice and should
only be changed by advanced users.
VisualArchitect does not provide support for login information on IP devices that
require a login. If you have an IP device that requires a login, the device must be
added to the Custom.AXI file after system file generation, but prior to file transfer.
This is a process that requires NetLinx programming experience and is not
recommended for the novice VA user.

Communication Parameters - IR Connections

The following parameters are required for IR-controlled devices, and are set via fields in the Device
Properties window.
These fields are only displayed if IR is selected as the Connection Type for the
device.

Communication Parameters - Modem Connections

The following parameters are required for Modem connections, and are set via fields in the Device
Properties window (click inside any of these fields to access a drop-down menu of supported options):
These fields are only displayed if Modem is selected as the Connection Type for the
device.
