Virtual NetLinx Master (Masterless) Transfers
File Transfer2 supports direct connection to G4 panels via TCP/IP and USB, for situations where
the target panel is not connected to a NetLinx Master. In this situation, you can use your PC's
Ethernet or USB connectors to connect directly to the panel, using your PC as a Virtual NetLinx
Master.
Virtual NetLinx Master supports both TCP/IP and USB connections.
Virtual NetLinx Master can be used to transfer TPDesign4 panel (.TP4) file, NetLinx
Firmware (.KIT) files, or IR Files directly to G4 touch panels.
Currently, the G4 touch panels that support USB connection are the MVP-8400, MVP-
7500 and NXD/T-CV7.
