MAX-CSE/MAX-CSD10 Operation/Reference Guide
Associating the MAX unit to a Target Master
Although the MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 units can function independently of a NetLinx Master, the
NetLinx Settings page allows a user (with proper access rights) to specify which Master is to be used for
communication, query, and firmware updating.
Associating a MAX-CSE to a Target Master
1.
From the Browser-based UI
Administration
page, click the
NetLinx Settings
button to access the
NetLinx Settings page (FIG. 18 on page 33).
2.
From within the
Mode
field, click on the drop-down arrow to reveal a listing of available NetLinx
connection Modes which can be used when communicating with the target Master. For the purposes
of these procedures, select
URL
.
In the
URL
mode, you can only enter the IP/URL of the target Master. The
System Number
field becomes greyed-out and left at
zero
(for an unknown System Number) and the
Master
Port Number
field is defaulted to
1319
.
NetLinx Master Connection Mode
options:
For more detailed information on communicating with a target Master, refer to the procedures outlined
within the previous
Communicating with the Target Master via an IP
section on page 52.
3.
Only in the
Auto
Mode will the
System
field be user-definable.
Default value is
3701
.
Having previously selected
URL
, this field is greyed-out (read-only).
If the
System
field is user-editable (when in the
Auto
Mode), enter the system number being
used by a Master on your same Subnet.
4.
Within the
Device Number
field, enter the MAX unit’s currently used device value
(non-duplicated).
If the connection fails to establish, a Connection Failed dialog appears.
Try selecting a different IP Address if communication fails.
Press the
Retry
button to reconnect using the same communication parameters.
Press the
Change
button to alter your communication parameters and repeat
steps 4 thru 18.
•
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.
This
UDP
(User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in
place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required.
• This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx
Master manual for more detailed information.
•
URL
(Uniform Resource Locator) 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).
The Encryption fields on a MAX-CSE are not enabled. Therefore, to establish a
connection to a target Master, both the ICSP Connectivity and Encryption
requirements should be disabled from within the Master’s System Security Settings
page (see FIG. 19 on page 33).
