Transferring Preset Button Text to the Master via FTP
Anytime that you assign text to any type of preset button in your project, you must transfer the
button text that appears on the buttons in DXP-HT to the NetLinx Master, in order to display the
button text on the panel(s) in the system. This is true for CD Titles, Tuner Presets, Favorites
buttons, etc. Use File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer the files.
To use FTP to transfer these files to the system's NetLinx Master, you'll need to know the master's
IP Address:
1.
Launch Windows Explorer, and navigate to the directory where your DXP-HT project is
located.
2.
Locate and select every TXT file in the project folder. Be sure to select every TXT file, and
only TXT files.
3.
Copy the files to clipboard memory (right-click on the selection and select Copy).
4.
Launch Internet Explorer.
5.
In the
Address
box, enter
FTP://
, followed by the IP Address of the Master, and press Enter.
6.
Assuming the IP Address was entered correctly, and the Master is connected properly, you are
presented with a dialog prompting you to enter the
User Name
and
Password
for the Master.
The default
User Name
is
NetLinx
The default
Password
is
password
.
7.
Enter the
User Name
and
Password
, and click the
Log On
button. Once you are logged on to
the Master, you should see directories associated with your DXP-HT project.
8.
Paste the copied TXT files into the root of this directory. Do not paste them into a folder or
create a new folder for them; they must reside at the root.
9.
Reboot the Master.

• AMX Recommended
Equipment List
This section of the report lists all of the AMX equipment that will be
needed to build, install, and run the system. Both model numbers and

It is recommended that you complete and then build your Project (in DXP-HT) and
transfer it to the Master before you FTP the preset button text files to the Master.
