Initial Configuration
Overview
This section describes using the NetLinx Studio software application to perform the initial configuration of the NetLinx Master.
NetLinx Studio is used to setup a System number, obtain/assign the IP/URL for the NX controller, as described in this section (as
well as to transfer firmware Kit files to the Master - see the Upgrading Firmware section on page 28).

installed, use the Web Update option in NetLinx Studio’s Help menu to obtain the latest version.
The default location for the NetLinx Studio application is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio > NetLinx
Studio.

programming.
