Symptom

Solution

I can’t seem to completely charge
my battery from within an
NXA-BASE/1 connected to a pow-
ered panel.

NXT-BP batteries can be charged from either an external NXT-CHG
battery charger or from within the NXA-BASE/1 located below an NXT
panel.

• The NXA-BASE/1 Battery base should be updated with the latest

firmware (part of the Modero firmware KIT file) from www.amx.com.

• The base can only charge the battery while the NXT panel is in Sleep

Mode. If the panel parameters are set to their highest values, the
priority for the power draw becomes the active panel functions and
no power is routed to the base for charging.

• Adjust the Display Timeout value to allow the panel to commence the

Sleep Mode and begin charging batteries within the base (drawing
power from a PSN).

• Refer to the

Battery Base Page

section on page 96 for more

information.

My WEP doesn’t seem to be
working.

• WEP will not work unless the same default key is set on both the

panel and the Access Point.

• For example: if you had your access point set to default key 4 (which

was 01:02:03:04:05) you must also set the Modero’s panel key 4 to
01:02:03:04:05.

NetLinx Studio only detects one of
my connected Masters.

Each Master is give a Device Address of 00000.

• Only one Master can be assigned to a particular System number. If

you want to work with multiple Masters, open different instances of
NetLinx Studio and assign each Master its own System value.

• Example: a site has an NXC-ME260/64 and an NI-4000. In order to

work with both units. The ME260/64 can be assigned System #1 and
the NI-4000 can then be assigned System #2 using two open
sessions of NetLinx Studio 2.

I can’t seem to connect to a
NetLinx Master using my NetLinx
Studio 2.x application.

• From the

Settings

Master Comm Settings

Communication

Settings

Settings (for TCP/IP)

, uncheck the "

Automatically Ping

the Master Controller

to ensure availability".

• The pinging is to determine if the Master is available, and to reply

with a connection failure instantly if it is not. Without using the ping
feature, you will still attempt to make a connection, but a failure will
take longer to be recognized. Some firewalls and networks do not
allow pinging, though, and the ping will then always result in a failure.

• When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the

program will first try to ping the controller before attempting a
connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the
device is off-line, or if the TCP/IP address that was entered was
incorrect. If you decide NOT to ping for availability and the controller
is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the program will
try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.

Note

If you are trying to connect to a master controller that is behind a

firewall, you may have to uncheck this option. Most firewalls will not
allow ping requests to pass through for security reasons.
