Step 3: Configuring the Ethernet Connection Type

When using Ethernet as your communication method, the NetLinx Master must first
be setup with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio
or your System Administrator.
Before beginning:
1.
Verify the panel has been configured to communicate either through an Ethernet cable (connected from
either the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub) or to a wirelessly to the Wireless Access Point (WAP).
Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware.
2.
Verify that the NetLinx Master is receiving power and is communicating via an Ethernet connection with
the PC running NetLinx Studio.
3.
Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on the
rear/side of the touch panel.
4.
Verify the green Ethernet LED (from the rear Ethernet port on the Master) is illuminated (indicating a
proper connection).

Master Connection MODE options:
• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or
any other Internet facility.
In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach
to it).
• LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP
from its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the
Master acts as a "Client".
• AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number
(assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In
this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used
in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required.
This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular
NetLinx Master manual for more detailed information.
