NetLinx Programming of DXLink Transmitters
and Receivers
Overview
IMPORTANT:
Before DXLink TXs and RXs can receive any NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs, the DIP switch’s #3 Toggle must be set to ON or
the devices will not be accessible from a NetLinx control system.
The DXLink Transmitters and Receivers recognize a select number of SEND_COMMANDs and CHANNELs.
