IRL File Transfers
Overview
The NetLinx Studio software application (available for free download from
www.amx.com
) provides
the ability to transfer IR Library files to NetLinx devices such as DXLink Transmitters and Receivers.
Endpoint System (with a Switcher)
When a Transmitter and/or a Receiver are being used in conjunction with a switcher as an endpoint
system, the switcher’s integrated Master is used for the IRL file transfer. FIG. 38 shows a Transmitter
and a Receiver bound to the integrated Master in an Enova DGX 32 in NetLinx Studio’s OnLine Tree.
Follow the instructions on the top of page 74 to prepare an endpoint system for IRL file transfer and the
instructions on page 76 for the actual transfer.
Extender System (Standalone)
When a standalone Transmitter and Receiver Module pair are being used as a extender system, the
IRL file transfer can be done one of two ways:
The module can be bound to any Master on the network and then unbound when the file
transfer procedure is complete.
If a Master is not present on the network, a Virtual NetLinx Master can be set up using a PC
(see page 121).
Follow the instructions on page 75 to prepare an extender system for IRL file transfer and the
instructions on page 76 for the actual transfer.
