Click 

Yes

 to proceed with the driver installation. 

Once the installation is complete, the panel and PC are ready to communicate via USB.

Configure a Virtual NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio

A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not connected to a physical NetLinx 
Master. In this situation, the PC takes on the functions of a Master via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This 
connection is made by either using the PC’s Ethernet Address (via TCP/IP using a known PC’s IP 
Address as the Master) or using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate directly to the panel.

Before beginning:

1.

Verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Settings page and 
that the USB driver has been properly configured. Refer to the previous section for more 
information.

2.

In NetLinx Studio, select 

Settings

, from the Main menu to 

open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 28).
