Click on the Virtual NetLinx Master radio box from the Transport Connection Option section to
indicate wanting to configure the PC to communicate with a panel. Everything else, such as the
Authentication, is greyed out because the procedure is not being made through the Master’s UI.

Master Settings dialog.

When configuring the panel to communicate with a Virtual Master on your PC via
wireless Ethernet, the Master IP/URL field must be configured to match the IP
Address of the PC. Make sure to use the Virtual System value assigned to the Virtual
Master within NetLinx Studio.
