Setup Pages and Descriptions
56 NXD-700i & NXT-CA7 7” Modero Touch Panels
System Settings Page (Cont.)
IP Settings:
DHCP/Static: Sets the panel to either DHCP or Static communication modes.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP Addresses from
client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network via a DHCP server.
• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP
network.
IP Address: Sets the secondary IP Address assigned to the panel.
Subnet Mask: Sets a subnetwork address to the panel.
• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages
into a particular network segment (Subnet).
Gateway: Sets a gateway value to the panel.
• Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between
different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between two or more
networks that use the same protocols.
Host Name: Sets the host name of the panel.
Primary DNS: Sets the address of the primary DNS server used for host name lookups.
• DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on
a local network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by host and domain. The
DNS server maintains a database of host names for its domain and their
corresponding IP Addresses.
Secondary DNS: Sets a secondary DNS value to the panel.
Domain: Sets the unique name on the Internet to the panel for DNS look-up.
• The panel belongs to the DNS domain.
Ethernet Mode: Sets the speed of the Ethernet connection to the panel.
• Choices are: Auto , 10 Half Duplex , 10 Full Duplex , 100 Half Duplex, or
100 Full Duplex.
MAC Address: Displays a read-only field that is factory set by AMX for the built-in Ethernet
interface.
Master Connection: Sets the NetLinx Master communication values:
Type: Sets the NetLinx Master to communicate with the panel via either USB or
Ethernet. This is based on the cable connection from the rear. The Type field is
read-only and cannot be set.
ICSNet is not a supported option on this panel.
• Ethernet is a CAT-5 cable (10/100Base T terminated in an RJ-45 connector)
used to network computers together and is used in most LAN (local area
networks). This description is also used to refer to both wired and wireless
communication.
• USB is a connection through the mini-USB port to a host computer.
Mode: Cycles between the different connection modes (URL, Listen, and Auto)
(ETHERNET Only - disabled when USB is selected)
• URL - In this mode, enter the IP/URL, Master Port Number, and
username/password (if used) on the Master.
- The System Number field is read-only because the panel obtains this
information from the communicating Master.
• Listen - In this mode, add the Modero panel address into the URL List in
NetLinx Studio and set the connection mode to Listen. This mode allows the
Modero touch panel to "listen" for the Master’s communication signals.
- The System Number and Master IP/URL fields are red-only.
• Auto - In this mode, enter the System Number and a username/password (if
applicable). This mode is used when both the panel and the NetLinx Master
are on the same Subnet and the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
- Master IP/URL field is read-only.
System Number: Allows you to enter a system number. Default value is 0 (zero).
(ETHERNET Only - disabled when USB is selected)
