#1 and #3 Toggles back to OFF when the file transfer is complete if the module does not require
network connectivity.)
5.
Connect an RJ-45 cable from the ICS LAN 10/100 port on the Transmitter or Receiver Module to
the PC running NetLinx Studio.

Master on the network:
Go to Step 7.
7.
Right-click in the workspace and select Refresh System OnLine Tree. The module will appear in the
OnLine Tree and locate the DXLink Module and the virtual device ID assigned to it (32002 in the
example). For the Device Number location, see FIG. 40 on page 105.
The module is ready for the KIT file transfer.
* Press and hold the ID Pushbutton for at least 10 seconds. The NetLinx LEDs toggle back and forth
during this time and then blink faster in unison. Release on the faster blink. When the Pushbutton is
released, the module toggles from either static to dynamic IP addressing or vice versa and remains in that
mode until the ID Pushbutton is used to reset it. The module automatically reboots to complete the
process.
