7. ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page, THEN insert the mini-USB connector into the
Program Port on the panel. It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a
signal to the PC (indicated by a green System Connection icon).
If a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection icon still does not turn green, complete
the procedures in the following section to setup the Virtual Master and refresh the System from the
Online Tree. This action sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the
communication (turning the System Connection icon green).

working as a NetLinx Master.

are wanting to configure the PC to communicate directly with a panel. Everything else such as the
Authentication is greyed-out because you are not going through the Master’s UI.

Master Settings dialog (FIG. 47).
