6. Click the Edit Settings button in the Communications Settings dialog to open the Virtual NetLinx Master
Settings dialog (FIG. 37).
7. From within this dialog, enter the System number (default is 1) and note the IP Address of the target PC
being used as the Virtual Master. This IP Address can also be obtained by following these procedures:
On the PC, click Start > Run to open the Run dialog.
Enter cmd into the Open field and click OK to open the command DOS prompt.
From the C:\> command line, enter ipconfig to display the IP Address of the PC. This information
is entered into the Master IP/URL field on the panel.
8. Click OK to close the open dialogs, save the settings, and return to the main NetLinx Studio application.
9. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the Virtual System. The
default System value is one.
10. Right-click on the Empty Device Tree/System entry and select Refresh System to re-populate the list.
11. Place the panel in the Table Charging Station or in the Wall Charging Station and turn the panel On.
12. After the panel powers up, press and hold down the navigation wheel center button for 3 seconds to
continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.
13. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page
(FIG. 38).
14. Press the Mode field until the choice cycles to the word URL.
By selecting URL, the System Number field becomes read-only (grey) because the panel pulls this value
directly from the communicating target Master, virtual or not. A Virtual Master system value can be set
within the active AMX software applications such as NetLinx Studio, TPD4, or IREdit.
15. Press the Master IP/URL field to open a Keyboard and enter the IP Address of the PC used as the Virtual
Master.
16. Click Done to accept the new value and return to the System Settings page.
17. Do not alter the Master Port Number value, as this is the default value used by NetLinx.
