Master System Number: Enter the System Number for the Virtual NetLinx Master.
• Default = 1.
• Range = 1-65535
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.
Note: Changes made to the Master System Number field will not take effect until all
communications are stopped and restarted.
Current Connection: The current connection information (IP Address) is displayed here (read-only)
Available Connections: A listing of available Virtual NetLinx Master connections is provided in this table.
Click on a connection in this list and click Select to set that connection as the current Virtual
NetLinx Master connection.
