Step 2: Prepare the TPI-PRO for communication via an IP address
1.
Press the Mode field until the choice cycles to URL. By selecting URL, the System Number field
becomes read-only (grey) because the panel pulls this value directly from the communicating target
Master (virtual or not). A virtual Master system value can be set within the active AMX software
applications such as: NetLinx Studio, TPD4, or IREdit.
2.
Press the blue Master IP/URL field to open a Keyboard and enter the NetLinx Master’s IP Address
(obtained from the Diagnostics - Networking Address dialog box of the NetLinx Studio
application).
3.
Click Done to accept the new value and return to the System Configuration page.
4.
Do not alter the Master Port Number value. This is the default value used by NetLinx.
5.
Press the on-screen Reboot button, on the Protected Setup page, to restart the TPI-PRO and save
any changes.
Step 3: Verify and Upgrade the TPI-PRO firmware via an IP address
1.
Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default
System value is one.
2.
Right-click the associated System number on the Workspace window, and select Refresh System to
detect all devices on the current system, establish a new connection to the Master, and refresh the
System list with devices on the system.
3.
After the Communication Verification dialog box verifies active communication between the PC
and the Master, verify the panel appears in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window
(FIG. 32). The default TPI-PRO panel value is 10001.
4.
If the firmware version is not the latest available, locate the latest firmware file from the
www.amx.com > Tech Center > Download Updates > Firmware Files > TPI-PRO section of the
website.
5.
Download the appropriate .kit file to your computer.
6.
Verify you have downloaded the latest TPI-PRO firmware (.kit) file to a known location.
