NXI NetLinx Integrated Controller
Overview
The NXI NetLinx Integrated Controller represents the new generation of AMX multi-port central controllers. The NXI
can be programmed to control RS-232/422/485, Relay, IR/Serial, and Input/Output devices using the NetLinx
programming language and NetLinx Studio program. Depending on your specific control needs, the NXI can be
equipped with either a Master or Hub Card. For use as a master controller, the NXI accepts the NXC-ME260 NetLinx
Master Card.
Front Panel
The NXI is equipped with a removable faceplate that covers the front panel components (FIG. 1):

corresponding control ports receive/ transmit data (FIG. 2):
These LEDs are grouped by control type, and are numbered according to their corresponding port (connector) numbers
on the rear panel.
