DXP-HT v1.3 - On-Site Installer’s Guide

6.

Click the 

Edit Settings

 button to open the Serial Settings dialog. 

7.

Make sure the correct serial port is selected and the baud rate is correct on the Master Comm 

Settings dialog (in the Tools menu). Set the COM port parameters for the selected COM port 

being used for communication to the NetLinx Master. Default parameters are: COM1, 38400, 

8 Data Bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit, and No Flow Control.

8.

Click 

OK

 three times to close the open dialogs and save your settings.

9.

Click on the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The 

default System value is one.

10.

Right-click on the 

Empty Device Tree

 entry and select 

Refresh System

 to establish a new 

connection to the System's Master and refresh the list with online system devices. The 

communication method is highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.

Obtaining the Master's IP Address:

1.

Once a connection is made, select 

Diagnostics > Network Addresses

 from the Main menu to 

access the Network Addresses dialog.

2.

Verify the System number corresponds to the value previously assigned in the Device 

Addressing tab and verify that zero (0) is entered into the Device field.

3.

Verify that NetLinx appears in the 

Host Name

 field.

4.

Click the 

Use DHCP

 radio button from the IP Address section.

5.

Click the 

Get IP Information

 button to read the IP Address obtained by the Master from the 

DHCP Server and configure the unit for DHCP usage.

6.

Note the obtained IP Address. This information is later entered into the Master 

Communication Settings dialog and used by NetLinx Studio 2.1 (or higher) to communicate to 

the Master via an IP. This address is reserved by the DHCP server and then given to the Master.

7.

Click the 

Set IP Information

 button to retain the IP Address on the Master. A popup window 

then appears to notify you that Setting the IP information was successful and it is 

recommended that the Master be rebooted.

8.

Click 

OK

 to accept the new changes.

9.

Click the 

Reboot Master

 button and select 

Yes

 to close the Network Address dialog. This 

process closes the Network Addresses dialog and directs you to the Reboot the Master 

Controller dialog.

10.

Click 

Continue

 (from the Reboot Controller dialog) and wait for the System Master to reboot 

and retain the newly obtained DHCP Address. The STATUS and OUTPUT LEDs should begin 

a alternately blink during the incorporation. Wait until only the STATUS LED is the only LED 

to blink.

11.

By default, the Master ships with the option set to wait for a server to assign it an IP Address 

via DHCP. If there is no DHCP server on the network it will greatly increase startup time while 

the Master waits for an address to be assigned. Therefore, it is recommended that the IP 

Address be set to a Static Address.
