NetLinx Settings Page Features
Feature Description
NetLinx Master: This section allows the user/administrator to define the communication and encryption
parameters of the target Master.
• Connection • A status field which indicates whether a Master has been detected and
communicating with the MAX-CSE.
• During the initial setup, this field reads Not Connected .
• After a successful connection to a target Master, this fields reads Connected .
• Mode • A drop-down list from which the user can choose which NetLinx connection Mode
will be used to communicate with the target Master.
• Available modes: Listen , Auto (default) , URL
• Listen sets the MAX unit to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master. In this system,
the MAX unit acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a
"Client".
• Auto is used to instruct the MAX unit to search for a Master that both uses the same
System Number (assigned within this page’s System Number field) and resides on
the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
• URL is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet
facility. This setting is used when the IP Address of the target NetLinx Master is
known. In this system, the MAX unit acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a
Server (in that Clients attach to it). In URL mode, you can only enter the IP/URL of
the target Master. The System Number is
0 (for an unknown System Number) and
the Master Port Number is defaulted to 1319 .
• System Number Allows a user to enter a system number.
• Default value is 3701.
• Only in the Auto Mode will the System field be user-definable.
• Device Number Allows a user to enter a current device value (non-duplicated). You must use a value
which is not currently being used by another device currently communicating with the
target Master.
• Within NetLinx Studio, use the
Online Tree tab to review what device values are
already being used.
• Default value is 32001 .
• Master IP/URL Allows a user to enter the IP Address or URL used by the target Master.
Note : This is the same IP Address used by NetLinx Studio to communicate with the
Master.
• Target Master IP Address must be in IPv4 dot notation (ex: X.X.X.X).
• Master Port Number Allows the user to enter the port number used by the NetLinx Master.
• Default value is
1319 .
• Encryption Based on the Master’s security status.
• Default value is
Disabled (fields are greyed-out) .
• These radio boxes either enable or disable data encryption of the data transferred
between the Master and the MAX over the ICSP connection. Note that this is
optional. If this is enabled, this setting requires more processor cycles to maintain.
• This selection determines if a username and password is required prior to
communication between the MAX unit and the target NetLinx Master via an ICSP
connection using a transport method such as TCP/IP or UDP/IP.
• Username/Password If the target Master has been previously secured, enter an alpha-numeric string (into
each field) which conforms to a pre-configured user profile on the Master. This profile
must have sufficient access rights.
Requiring the encryption of any data being transmitted or received via an ICSP con-
nection (
via the previous radio box ) also mandates that a valid username and pass-
word be provided within the Username and Password fields.
