NI-2000 Specifications

Dimensions (HWD):

• 3.47" x 17.00" x 3.47" (8.81 cm x 43.18 cm x 8.82 cm)
• 2 RU (rack unit) high 

Power Requirement:

• 700 mA @ 12 VDC

Memory:

• 32 MB SDRAM
• 1 MB of Non-volatile Flash

Compact Flash:

• 32 MB Card (upgradeable). Refer to the Other AMX Equipment section on 

page 5 for more information.

Weight:

• 4.50 lbs (2.04 kg)

Enclosure:

• Metal with black matte finish

Certifications:

• FCC Part 15 Class B and CE

Front Panel Components:

LINK/ACT

• Green LED blinks when the Ethernet cable is connected and an active link 

is established. This LED also blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.

Status

• Green LED blinks to indicate that the system is programmed and 

communicating properly.

Output

• Red LED blinks when the Controller transmits data, sets channels On/Off, 

sends data strings, etc.

Input

• Yellow LED blinks when the Controller receives data from button pushes, 

strings, commands, channel levels, etc.

RS-232/422/485 LEDs

Three sets

 of red and yellow LEDs light to indicate the rear DB9 Ports 1 - 3 

are transmitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485 data:

- TX LEDs (red) light when transmitting data

- RX LEDs (yellow) light when receiving data

- LED activity reflects transmission and reception activity

Relay LEDs

Four

 

red

 LEDs light to indicate the rear relay channels 1 - 4 are active 

(closed).

• These LEDs reflect the state of the relay on Port 4
• If the relay is engaged = LED On and if the relay is Off = LED Off

IR/Serial LEDs

Four red

 LEDs light to indicate the rear IR/Serial channels 1 - 4 are 

transmitting control data on Ports 5 - 8

• LED indictor for each IR port remains lit for the length of time that IR/Serial 

data is being generated

I/O LEDs

Four yellow

 LEDs light when the rear I/O channels 1 - 4 are active

• LED indicator for each I/O port reflects the state of that particular port

Rack-mount brackets

• Provide an installation option for the Integrated Controller to be mounted 

into an equipment rack, when used with the Installation Kit (

KA2105-01

).

Rear Panel Connectors:

RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 -3)

Three

 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.

• Channel range = 1-255
• Channels 1-254 provide feedback
• Channel 255 (CTS Push channel): Reflects the state of the CTS Input if a 

'CTSPSH' command was sent to the port

• Output data format for each port is selected via software
• Three DB9 connectors provide RS-232/422/485 termination

ICSNet

Two

 RJ-45 connectors for ICSNet interface

ICSHub Out

• RJ-45 connector provides data to another Hub connected to the Controller
