Configuring Communication
39 NXD-CV5 5" Modero Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel
Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection
It is necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a
Master" is done via the System Connection page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and
Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your
Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a Master).
Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wired IP Settings
This panel has only one method of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wired (direct Ethernet
connection) (wireless communication is not available on the CV5). You can only configure the connection
parameters through the System Connection page. This type of communication can be established either via
either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address (typically provided by your
System Administrator).
IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet
1. Select Protected Setup > System Connection (located on the lower-left) to open the System Connection
page.
2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.
3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP.
4. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.
5. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.
6. Do not alter any of the remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is rebooted,
these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.
7. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page.
8. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel.
IP Settings section - Configuring a Static IP Address over Ethernet
1. Select Protected Setup > System Connection (located on the lower-left) to open the System Connection
page.
2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.
3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to Static.
4. Press the IP Address field to open a Keyboard and enter the Static IP Address (provided by your System
Administrator).
Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields
appear on the two separate System Connection and Secondary Connection pages;
the information populating these fields is identical.
If the information within one of these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both
pages within the altered field.
Example: Domain is altered on Secondary Connection page, the value is then also
changed within the Domain field of the System Connection page.
DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and
once the communication setup process is complete, reserve an IP Address, Subnet
Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.
This information can be found in either the: Workspace- System name > Define
Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the
Device Addressing/Network Addresses in the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog.
Check with your System Administrator for a pre-reserved Static IP Address assigned
to the panel. This address must be obtained before Static assignment of the panel
continues.
