NetLinx Integrated Controllers- WebConsole & Programming Guide (FMv3)
Using Zero Configuration
NetLinx Controllers with firmware versions of v3.41 or higher support using "zero-configuration" client
software to quickly install multiple devices on the network.
Bonjour (Zero-Configuration) Client
You can use a zero-configuration client to determine the IP address of the Controllers. There are many zero-
configuration clients available. However, for the purposes of this document, we will refer to Bonjour for
Windows. It is free and widely available for download.
If you don’t already have it installed on your PC, download and install Bonjour for Windows before you begin.
Connecting to a Network with a DHCP Server
By using the Controllers’s zeroconf feature and the Bonjour for Windows plug-in utility, multiple devices can
be installed and configured on the network without the need to pre-configure each device before installation.
The dealer only needs to match the serial number printed on the backside of the device or from the label on the
box to the serial number that is displayed in the Bonjour browser pane.
1. Launch Internet Explorer with the Bonjour plug-in.
2. Once power is applied to the device, the Bonjour plug-in displays the device in the list of devices as
shown in FIG. 3:
3. Double-click on the desired NetLinx Controller to access the Web Console of the selected device.
This requires valid login information - the browser will prompt you for User ID and Password before
displaying the configuration pages for the selected device.
Notice that the serial number is appended to the name of the device.
At this point, the device can be configured (changing IP settings, NetLinx settings, User settings, etc) via the
pages in the Web Console (see the Onboard WebConsole User Interface section on page 21).
