Type Sets the NetLinx Master to communicate with the panel via Ethernet or USB.
This is based on the cable connection from the rear.
• Ethernet is a CAT-5 cable (10/100Base T terminated in an RJ-45 connector)
used to network computers together and is used in most LAN (local area
networks). This description is also used to refer to both wired and wireless
communication. A Wireless Ethernet connection involves indirect
communication from the panel to a Master via a wireless connection to the
network.
• A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a
corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master).
