Configuring Communication
30
NXD-700i & NXT-CA7 7” Modero Touch Panels
Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection
It is necessary to tell the panel as to which Master it should be communicating.
This "pointing to a Master" is done via the
System Settings
page, where the IP Address, System Number and
Username/Password information assigned to the target Master is configured.
Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red, indicating that it has no
current connection to a Master.
Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wired IP Settings
This panel has only one method of communicating to a target Master over the Internet:
Wired
(direct Ethernet
connection, as wireless communication is not available on 7" Modero panels). The connection parameters may
only be configured through the System Connection page.
This type of communication can be established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (
DHCP
) or via a pre-
reserved Static IP Address (
typically provided by your System Administrator
).
IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet
1.
Select
Protected Setup > System Settings
(located on the lower-left) to open the
System Settings
page.
2.
Locate the
IP Settings
section of this page.
3.
Toggle the
DHCP/Static
field (
from the IP Settings section
) until the choice cycles to
DHCP
.
4.
Press the optional
Host Name
field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.
5.
Press
Done
after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.
6.
Do not alter any of the remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section.
Once the panel is rebooted,
these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up
.
7.
Press the
Back
button to return to the Protected Setup page.
8.
Press the on-screen
Reboot
button to save any changes and restart the panel.
Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields
appear on the two separate System Connection and Secondary Connection pages;
the information populating these fields is identical.
If the information within one of these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both
pages within the altered field.
Example: if the domain is altered on the Secondary Connection page, the value is
then also changed within the Domain field of the System Connection page.
DHCP will register the unique factory-assigned MAC Address on the panel, and once
the communication setup process is complete, reserve an IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.
This information can be found in either the: Workspace- System name > Define
Device section of the code that defines the properties for the panel, or in the Device
Addressing/Network Addresses in the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog.
