Update the On-board Master and Controller Firmware
Before using your new NI unit, you must first update your NetLinx Studio to the most recent
release.
Upgrade the on-board Master firmware through an IP Address via the Ethernet connector
(
Upgrading the On-board Master Firmware via an IP
section on page 15) (
IP
recommended
).
Upgrade the Integrated Controller firmware through an IP Address via the Ethernet connector
(
Upgrading the NI Controller Firmware Via IP
section on page 17) (
IP recommended
).
Configure NetLinx Security on the NI Controller
Setup and finalize your NetLinx Security Protocols (
WebConsole - Security Options
section
on page 29).
Program your NI Controller (
Programming
section on page 81).
Using Zero Configuration
NetLinx Controllers with firmware versions of v3.41 or higher support using "zero-configuration" client
software to quickly install multiple devices on the network.
Bonjour (Zero-Configuration) Client
You can use a zero-configuration client to determine the IP address of the
Controllers
. There are many zero-
configuration clients available. However, for the purposes of this document, we will refer to
Bonjour for
Windows
. It is free and widely available for download.
If you don’t already have it installed on your PC, download and install
Bonjour for Windows
before you begin.
Connecting to a Network with a DHCP Server
By using the Controllers’s zeroconf feature and the
Bonjour for Windows
plug-in utility, multiple devices
can be installed and configured on the network without the need to pre-configure each device before
installation.
The dealer only needs to match the serial number printed on the backside of the device or from the label
on the box to the serial number that is displayed in the Bonjour browser pane.
1.
Launch Internet Explorer with the Bonjour plug-in.
2.
Once power is applied to the device, the Bonjour plugin displays the device in the list of devices as
shown in FIG. 1:
3.
Double-click on the desired NetLinx Controller to access the Web Console of the selected device.
This requires valid login information - the browser will prompt you for User ID and Password
before displaying the configuration pages for the selected device.
Notice that the serial number is appended to the name of the device.
At this point, the device can be configured (changing IP settings, NetLinx settings, User settings, etc) via
the pages in the Web Console (see the
Onboard WebConsole User Interface
section on page 23).
