Configure a Virtual NetLinx Master via USB
A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not actually 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. (For
more information on configuring the panel for USB connection, please refer to the Step 1: Configure the
panel for a USB Connection Type section on page 85.)
Before beginning:
1. If using the mini-USB connection, verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB
within the System Settings page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. If changing
the Master Connection type, reboot the device to save the change.
