Configuring Netlinx Studio For Virtual Netlinx Master Tcp/ip Transfers
1.
Select
Settings > Master Communication Settings
to open the Master Communication
Settings dialog.
2.
Select the System that you want to set communication settings for (from the Available
System(s) list.
3.

Communication Settings
button to open the Communication Settings dialog.

Select
[Virtual NetLinx Master]
as the
Transport Connection Option
.
5.
Click the
Edit Settings
button to access the Virtual NetLinx Master Settings dialog, which
displays the System number of the Virtual NetLinx Master (
default = 1
).
Assuming that the actual NetLinx Master is set to 0 (via the System Properties dialog - System
ID field), this default setting will work. However, if you have designated any other number as
the System ID, be sure to set this System Number to a different number than the System ID, to
avoid a conflict with the actual NetLinx Master (
range = 1-65535
).

Click
OK
to close the Communication Settings dialog.
