Configuring Communication
Communication between the Modero panel and the Master is done using either
USB
or
ETHERNET
(
DHCP or Static IP
). Ethernet communication can be achieved through either a direct connection
(Ethernet) or through the use of the optional NXA-WC802.11GCF wireless CF card.
AMX Modero panels feature on-board Setup pages. Use the options in the Setup pages to access panel
information and make various configuration changes.

Press the grey Front Setup Access button for
3 seconds
to open the Setup page (FIG. 24).

the Protected Setup page. Enter

USB input devices must be plugged into the rear or side USB connectors before the
G4 panel is powered-up. The panel will not detect a USB connection of this type until
after the unit cycles power.
