The two possible Master Connection Types available are USB or Ethernet.
A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a
corresponding USB port on the PC, which is acting as a Virtual Master.
An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a
Master via an Ethernet connection to the network.
It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection
and only when the panel is connected to a power supply.
The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into a panel that is already active before
the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver.
