Master will not create the path if it is not valid. That must be done via another means, most
commonly by using an FTP client and connecting to the FTP server on the NetLinx Master.
Initial Setup (via Telnet or Terminal Connection)
Security administration and configuration is done via either Telnet (the Ethernet Port on the
NetLinx Master), or Terminal (the PROGRAM Port on the NetLinx Master).
If you have NetLinx Studio installed, use the Tools > Windows Telnet option to launch a Telnet
session (or alternatively the Tools > Terminal option to open a Terminal session). If you do not
have NetLinx Studio on your machine, you can use another terminal program (i.e. HyperTerminal).
Getting connected
1. Apply power to the NetLinx Master and allow it to boot up.
2. Connect your PC or laptop to the NetLinx Master:
a. If connecting via Telnet, connect the PC or laptop Ethernet (RJ-45) port through a
Router/Hub to the Ethernet port on the NetLinx Master.
b. If connecting via Terminal; connect the PC COM (RS232) port to the PROGRAM port on
the front of the NetLinx Master. Verify that the baud rate for the COM port matches the
Master COM Port setting on the NetLinx Master (default = 38,400).
3. Launch NetLinx Studio, and select Tools > Windows Telnet to open a Telnet session window.
Select Tools > Terminal to open a Terminal session.
4. Type echo on to view the characters while entering commands.
