The secondary window then becomes populated with the same G4 page being displayed on the

Using your NetLinx Master to control the G3 panel
Refer to the specific panel instruction manual for detailed information on configuring and enabling
WebControl. Before being able to access a G3 panel (with SSL enabled) through the WebControl
tab, you must first download the Java Virtual Machine software from Sun Micro Systems
®
to install
a Sun Java applet on your computer.
Once the Master’s IP Address has been set through NetLinx Studio (version 2.2 or higher):
1. Navigate to the Java Web Start Application from http://java.sun.com/products.
2. Click on the Download Java Web Start > Download Java Web Start 1.4.2 link to begin the
download of the application to your hard drive and follow the installation procedures
recommended by the application.

The G4 WebControl application is sent by the panel to the computer that is used for
communication. Once the application is installed, this popup will no longer appear.
This popup will only appear if you are connecting to the target panel using a different
computer.
You must install the Sun Java Web Start application. Using the default Microsoft
®
Java applet (when SSL is enabled) can cause some G3 panels not to open or be
viewed properly.
