Hot Swapping
Hot swapping is not an issue on these panels, as the card is installed within the unit and cannot be removed without first
removing the housing.
In the case of DHCP, a DHCP server must be accessible before the fields are populated.
Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and
Modero panel-specific firmware. Verify you are using the latest versions of AMX’s
NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 programs.
USB input devices must be plugged into the USB connectors on the docking stations
before the units are powered-up.
