Program Port Connections and Wiring
The Integrated Controllers are equipped with a Program port located on the front of the unit. Use an RS232
programming cable to establish a connection between this Program port to your PC's COM port. This
connection provides communication with the NetLinx Integrated Controller. Then you can download NetLinx
programs to this on-board Master using the NetLinx Studio v 2.4 software program.
Refer to the
NetLinx Studio
instruction manual for programming instructions. The following table shows the
