Step 4: Configure A Virtual Master (Using Netlinx Studio) For Usb - AMX NXD-700i Operation/Reference Manual

If a yellow exclamation point appears next to the AMX USB LAN LINK device (within
the hardware devices section of the Unplug or Eject Hardware window), stop and
close the USB operation.
Reconnect the USB cable to the panel and repeat the setup procedures.
Refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 127 for more detailed information.
To remove the USB driver association from a previously connected touch panel, navigate back to the Device
Manager, right-click on the panel's USB driver (example AMX USB LAN LINK #2) and select Uninstall
from the context menu and then OK.

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 25 for more information).
A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not connected to a
physical NetLinx Master. In this situation, the PC takes on the functions of a Master
via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This connection is made by either using the PC's
Ethernet Address, via TCP/IP using a known PC's IP Address as the Master, or
using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate directly to the panel.
