Programming
Overview
Important:
The SEND_COMMANDs listed in this chapter are for the switcher only. For information on using
NetLinx Studio, the WebConsole, and additional NetLinx commands, see the “WebConsole & Programming
Guide – NetLinx Integrated Controllers” (available at www.amx.com).
The integrated NetLinx Master on the Enova DGX Switcher recognizes NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs with embedded
BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands. Use NetLinx Studio (v3.5.960 or later is required) to send these commands to
the Enova DGX Switcher, or use these commands in standard compiled NetLinx Programming code running on the
integrated NetLinx Master.
The Device in <Device:Port:System> is the Enova DGX enclosure’s device number (see “Device Numbering” below).
Note:
If a single Master control point is desired for multiple Enova DGX enclosures, write the NetLinx code to
provide the connection between the Masters.
Device Numbering
The NI Master number (00000) and the Device ID number (default 05002) are listed in NetLinx Studio’s OnLine Tree
(FIG. 101). The Device number is also listed in the WebConsole’s Master Configuration Manager on the icsp Device
Config page.
Device Ports
Important:
Only one port at a time can send or receive communication.
In the OnLine Tree (FIG. 101), the Enova DGX Switcher is listed under its integrated Master as a device with four ports:
Port 1 – Reserved for future functionality (commands/strings sent to this port are ignored)
Port 2 – Supports basic BCS commands incorporated into SEND_COMMANDs (up to 1024 characters
packaged in a single BCS command) for Enova DGX control and switching
Other commands are rejected with a notice being sent back to the NetLinx Master
This port requires a wait-for-response (e.g., wait for the
T
or wait for the full command to be returned
with a
T
in the response).
