Configuring Communication

Overview

Communication between the Modero panel and the Master is done using either USB or ETHERNET (DHCP
or Static IP). Ethernet communication can be achieved through either a direct connection (Ethernet) or
through the use of the optional NXA-PCI80211G wireless interface card.
USB input devices must be plugged into the rear or side USB connectors before the
G4 panel is powered-up. The panel will not detect a USB connection of this type until
after the unit cycles power.
Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero panel
firmware. Verify you are using the latest versions of AMX's NetLinx Studio and
TPDesign4 programs.
