then informs you of such.

Click Yes when told that a digital signature was not found. This action accepts the installation of the new
USB driver. The panel is now configured to communicate directly with the PC.

This process completes the association between driver and device.
Each time the same touch panel is connected to the computer the driver is automatically
loaded (using a unique name - example USB LAN LINK #1, #2
).
Each time a different touch panel is connected to the computer, the previous procedures will
need to be repeated.

The previous version of the AMX USBLAN driver showed a USB connection icon in the system
tray when a panel was connected. The new version of the driver does not show an icon in the
System Tray.

A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not connected to a
physical NetLinx Master. In this situation, the PC takes on the functions of a Master
via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This connection is made by either using the PC’s
Ethernet Address (via TCP/IP using a known PC’s IP Address as the Master) or
using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate directly to the panel
.
