Manage System - System Number
The options on this page display the current System Number assigned to the target Master (read-only), and allow you to
change the system number (see FIG. 41).
Changing the System Number on the Master
1. Enter the new numeric value into the New System Number field.
2. Click the Accept button to save this new value to the system on the target Master. The message "System number
changed to X. Master must be rebooted for the change to take effect.", reminds you that the Master must be rebooted
before the new settings take effect.
3. Click Reboot to reboot the target Master. The Device Tree then reads "Rebooting...". After a few seconds, the
Device Tree refreshes with the current system information (including the updated system number assignment). If
the Device Tree does not refresh within a few minutes, press the Refresh button and reconnect to the Master.
Using Multiple NetLinx Masters
When using more than one Master, each unit must be assigned to a separate System value. A Master’s System value can
be changed but it’s device Address must always be set to zero (00000). The Device Addressing dialog will not allow
you to alter the NetLinx Master address value.
Example: Using an NX-2200 and NX-4200:
The NI-2200 could be assigned to System 1 (with an Address of 00000).
The NI-4200 could be assigned to System 2 (with an Address of 00000).
Resetting the Master Controller to the Factory Defaults Configuration
Click the Reset To Factory Defaults button. This resets the Master to its’ factory default state. This includes:
Removal of all security settings
Removal of all user files
Resetting to DHCP
Loading an empty NetLinx program.
Once reset, the Master will be effectively in an out-of-box state.
Note: It may be necessary to refresh the browser window after the master has finished booting (click Refresh).
