NI-4100 NetLinx Central Controllers

The NI-4100 series of NetLinx Controllers provide versatility with the ability to integrate the

largest number of devices in the NI Series of Master Controllers, including projectors,

lighting, VCR and DVD players, thermostats and other electronic equipment. In these

technology-driven environments, this solution allows for the future addition of more devices

and control capabilities.

With a perfect mix of compatible formats, the NI-4100 series offers flexibility and

customization for businesses experiencing rapid growth and for homes that demand

seamless integration of technology and design. The NI-4100 series provides higher

performance with a faster processor, up to 256MB of onboard RAM and Duet-compatibility.

The NI-4100’s on-board Master also provides the ability to update installed control card

firmware.

ATTENTION!

Verify you are using the latest NI firmware for the on-board Master. Verify you are using the

latest version of NetLinx Studio (available for download from www.amx.com).

NetLinx Control

Card Slots 1 - 4:

Accepts up to 4 compatible NetLinx Cards (NXC-COM2, NXC-IRS4,

NXC-I/O10, NXC-REL8).

Rear Panel Components:

RS-232/422/485

(Ports 1 - 7):

7 RS-232/422/485 control ports using DB9 (male) connectors with XON/

XOFF (transmit on/transmit off), CTS/RTS (clear to send/ready to send),

and 300-115,200 baud.

ICSNet: 2 RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface (provided by optional ICSNet

daughter card).

1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object

and unplug all the connectors from the unit.

2. Remove the three screws by turning them in a counter-clockwise direction and remove

the front faceplate.

3. Align the edges of the card with the internal guide slots and gently slide it in all the way

until the rear edge of the card snap into place.

4. Re-secure the faceplate by inserting the three screws by turning them in a clockwise

direction and securing the front faceplate to the Controller.

5. Re-apply power and other connections as necessary.

Setting the Integrated Controllers’ Starting Card Address

The 8-position CardFrame Number DIP switch on the rear panel sets the starting address

(the device number in the D:P:S specification) for the Control Cards installed in the controller.

The Control Card address range is 1 - 3064.

The factory default CardFrame DIP switch value = 0 (All CardFrame DIP switches in the OFF

position). The formula for setting the starting address is:

(DIP switch value) + Card slot Number (1 - 4) = Card Address

For example:

A DIP switch setting of 00010101:

(0 + 0 + 0 + 96 + 0 + 384 + 1536) + SLOT # (ex:1) = 2017.

A card in slot number 1 = device address 2017.

Set the CardFrame Number DIP switch value is based on the table below.

Cycle power to the unit for approximately 5 seconds. This allows the unit to read the new

device number settings.

Wiring a Power Connection

Use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the Controller via the rear 2-pin

3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector. Use the power requirements information listed in the

Specifications table to determine the power draw.

The incoming PWR and GND cable from the PSN power supply must be connected to their

corresponding locations within the PWR connector.

• This unit should only have one source of incoming power.

• Using more than one source of power to the Controller can result in damage to the

internal components and a possible burn out.

• Apply power to the unit only after installation is complete.

RS-232/422/485 Wiring Connector Information

FIG. 2 shows the pinout and wiring specification information for the rear RS-232/RS-422/RS-

485 (DB9) Device Ports. These ports support most standard serial mouse control devices

and RS-232 communication protocols for PC data transmission.

The NI-4100 uses Ports 1 - 7.

WARNING: NOT When wiring the 422/485 connections, do use pre-made 9-wire cable or

connect the wire in the cable to any connection that will not be used by the DB9 serial port.

Only use wiring that connects the needed pins.

Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Connector

The RJ-45 Ethernet connector provides 10/100 network connectivity between the panel and

the NetLinx Master (FIG. 3).

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide communication between the Integrated

Controller and external NetLinx devices.

Baud Rate Settings (Program Port DIP Switch)

The Program Port DIP switch is located on the rear of the device. Use this DIP switch to set

the baud rate for the Program Port, according to the settings shown in the following table.

Make sure the baud rate you set matches the baud rate on your PC's NetLinx COM Settings

before programming the unit.

Note: DIP switch 1 activates/deactivates the Program Run Disable Mode. DIP Switches 2,3,

and 4 must remain OFF at all times.

Ethernet Ports Used by the NI-4100

Preparing the NI-4100 for Serial Communication

To establish serial communication with the Controller via the PROGRAM (DB9) port:

1. Use a Serial DB9 cable (i.e. CC-COM Programming Port Cable - not included) to

connect the Controller’s Program port to a DB9 port on a PC.

2. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc

> NetLinx Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).

3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the menu bar, to open the

Master Communication Settings dialog box.

4. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings

dialog.

5. Click the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate

you are working with a NetLinx Master.

6. Click the Serial radio button (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate

you are connecting to the Master via a COM port.

7. Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the

Serial Settings dialog and set the COM port parameters (used to communicate to the

NetLinx Master).

8. Click OK to close all dialogs and return to the main application.

9. Right-click the Online Tree Refresh System: tab entry and select the Controller

should appear in the Device Tree. If not, verify that the Serial cable is connected

properly, and that the Baud Rate settings on the Controller (set via the Program Port

DIP Switch) match the settings in NetLinx Studio.

Once Serial communication has been established, use NetLinx Studio to configure the

Controller for Ethernet Communication, as described below.

Configuring the NI-4100 for Ethernet Communication

Before continuing, complete the COM port steps above.

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Controller to the LAN to which the PC running

NetLinx Studio is connected.

Note: The NI-x100 Controllers feature an Auto MDI/MDI-X Ethernet port. This provides

the option of using either a standard (straight through), or a crossover Ethernet cable

to communicate with a PC - both cable types will work.

2. Select Diagnostics > Network Address from the menu bar and enter the System,

Device (0 for a Master), and Host Name information.

3. To configure the Address:

• Use a DHCP Address by selecting the Use DHCP radio button, then click the GET IP

button (to obtain a DHCP Address from the DHCP Server), click the SET IP Informa-

tion button ( ), and then finish the process by clicking the to retain the new address

Reboot Master OK > buttons.

• Use a Static IP Address by selecting the radio button, enter the IP Specify IP Address

parameters into the available fields, then click the SET IP Information button (to retain

the pre-reserved IP Address to the Master), and then click the Reboot Master > OK

buttons to finish the process.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 5 from the previous section, but rather than selecting the Serial

option, choose TCP/IP and edit the settings to match the IP Address you are using

(Static or IP).

5. Click on the d) and press Authentication Required radio box (if the Master is secure

the User Name and Password button to enter a valid username and password being

used by the secured Master.

6. Click the OK to close all dialogs and return to the main application.

Onboard WebConsole

NetLinx Masters have a built-in WebConsole that allows you to make various configuration

settings via a web browser on any PC that has access to the Master.

The WebConsole consists of a series of web pages that are collectively called the "Master

Configuration Manager". Refer to the NI Series NetLinx Integrated Controllers WebConsole

& Programming Guide for details on the WebConsole.

Accessing the WebConsole

From any PC that has access to the LAN that the target Master resides on:

1. Open a web browser and type the IP Address of the target Master in the Address Bar.

2. Press Enter to access WebConsole for that Master. The initial view is the WebControl

page.
