Working with multiple NetLinx Masters
When using more than one Master, each unit must be assigned to a separate System value.
A Master’s System value can be changed but its’ device Address must always be set to zero
(00000). The Device Addressing dialog will not allow you to alter the NetLinx Master address
value.
Example: Using NetLinx Studio 2.1 to work with an NXC-ME260 and NI-4000:
The NXC-ME260 could be assigned to System 1 (with a value of 00000).
The NI-4000 could be assigned to System 2 (with a value of 00000).

9. Right-click the associated System number (from the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace
window) and select Refresh System to establish a new connection to the specified Master and
refresh the System list with devices on that system.
10. Use Ctrl+S to save your existing NetLinx Project with the new changes.
If the NetLinx device does not appear within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace
window of NetLinx Studio, make sure that the NetLinx Master System Number (from
within the Device Addressing tab) is correctly assigned. If there is a problem, use a
system value of zero (0) on the NetLinx device.
The Master is default set to DEVICE 0. Connected NetLinx device addresses can
only be changed through the Protected Setup page. The new address is reflected
within the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window only after the devices are
rebooted and the system is refreshed.
The system value on a Modero touch panel can not be changed from the Device
Addressing dialog.
