Configuring Communication

10" Modero Touch Panels
Master Connection section - NetLinx Master Ethernet IP Address - Auto Mode
In this mode, enter the System Number of the NetLinx Master. This mode instructs the Modero to search for a
Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the
same Subnet as itself.
1. Toggle the blue Type field until Ethernet is selected (from the Master Connection section of the System
Settings page).
2. Press the Mode field until the choice cycles to the word Auto.
3. Press the System Number field to launch a Keypad and enter the value for the system number of the
NetLinx Master. This value can be obtained from the NetLinx Studio program > OnLine Tree of the
Workspace window.
4. Do not alter the IP Settings section, of the System Settings page, as these fields are not applicable to this
connection mode.
5. Enter a username and password (into their respective fields) if the target Master has been previously
secured.
6. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel.
7. Press the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to open the Setup page and confirm there is an
active connection.
Using G4 Web Control
®
to Interact with a G4 Panel
The G4 Web Control feature allows you to use a PC to interact with a G4 enabled panel via the web.
This feature works in tandem with the new browser-capable NetLinx Security firmware update
(build 300 or higher). G4 Web Control is only available with the latest Modero panel firmware.
Refer to the G4 Web Control Page section on page 101 for more detailed field information.
1. Press the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to open the Setup page.
2. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup
page and display an on-screen keypad.
3. Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field (1988 is the default password).
4. Press Done when finished.
5. Press the G4 WebControl button to open the G4 Web Control page (FIG. 74).
6. Press the Enable/Enabled button until it toggles to Enabled (light blue color).
7. The Network Interface Select field is read-only and displays the method of communication to the web.
Verify you have selected the proper interface connection as this field does not auto-detect the
connection type being used (see below).
Wired is used when a direct Ethernet connection is being used for communication to the web. This
is the default setting if either no wireless interface card is detected or if both an Ethernet and
wireless card connection is detected by the panel.
The NetLinx Master and the Modero panel must both be on the same Subnet.
Verify your NetLinx Master (ME260/64 or NI-Series) has been installed with the latest
firmware KIT file from www.amx.com. Refer to your NetLinx Master instruction
manual for more detailed information on the use of the new web-based NetLinx
Security.
Clearing Password #5, from the initial Password Setup page, removes the need for
you to enter the default password before accessing the Protected Setup page.
