Configuring Virtual NetLinx Master Communication Settings (NetLinx only)
1.
Click the
Edit
command button, and select Communication Settings to open the
Communication Settings dialog.
2.
Select
NetLinx Master
as the Platform Selection.
3.
Select
Virtual NetLinx Master
as the Transport Connection Option.
4.
Click
Edit Settings
to access the Virtual NetLinx Master Settings dialog, which displays the
System number (and IP address) of the Virtual NetLinx Master (
default = 1
).
Assuming that the actual NetLinx Master is set to
0
(via the System Properties dialog - System
ID field), this default setting will work. However, if you have designated any other number as
the System ID, be sure to set this System Number to a different number than the System ID, to
avoid a conflict with the actual NetLinx Master (range =
1-65535
).
