Using NetLinx Studio

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

Downloading Software and Transferring Files

In order for the system to operate, the NetLinx program and all supporting files (touch panel files, 

IR files, text files, etc.) must be downloaded to the master. NetLinx studio can be used for most 

downloads, but any file in the 

Other

 branch of the project tree will need to be loaded on the master 

using FTP (file transfer protocol).

This document will assume the user knows how to download files using NetLinx Studio. Compile 

the main software file (main.axs) and download it to the master. Download all touch panel files and 

IR files for each audio source. Since the include files are compiled into the main program there is 

no need to download them individually.

All other files such as CD titles, DSS favorites, and tuner presets must be downloaded using an FTP 

program. There are many of these available on the web, most of them freeware. Connect to the 

master and download all of the required files into the root directory (top-most directory) of the 

master.

Once everything is downloaded, the master will require a reboot to load the new configuration.

Running the First Time

The master ships with a default message buffer threshold which may be too small for the Design 

XPress system. Fortunately there is a solution to this problem.

Telnet to the master by going to the Windows Start Menu and selecting 

Run

 (alternatively, you can 

launch a TelNet session through NetLinx Studio, via the 

Tools

 menu).

Enter the command 

TELNET AA.BB.CC.DD

, where 

AA.BB.CC.DD

 is the IP address of the master 

(ex. 

TELNET 192.168.0.2

). Log in to the master and enter the following command: 

SET THRESHOLD

The system will prompt for three threshold values: 

Interpreter

LonTalk

and

 IP. Set each of these to 

a value of 

500

Exit the telnet session by issuing the command 

EXIT

. Reboot the NetLinx master for the changes to 

take effect. The changes will be permanent, so each time the system restarts it will start with the 

higher threshold values.

Startup

When the Master boots it is a bit tricky to determine when the system is completely operational. 

Each touch panel connected to the system displays a message box "System is ready" indicating that 

the reboot is complete, and the system is ready to operate. In addition, the panels will flip to the 

Logo page when they are ready. Depending on the number of devices, touch panels, etc. on the 

system, the reboot could take several minutes.
