A simple command line tool and Node.js module to setup AMX Netlinx touch panels and processors.

A connection is made to the device over telnet and commands are sent to configure the device.

$ npm install amx-setup

• Set network configuration
• Set device number
• Set master connection (for touch panels)
• Reboots the device after update

connect to a device and change it's ip address

$ amx-setup --host 192.168.1.10 --ip 10.10.201.20
