NetLinx Programming of DXLink Transmitters and Receivers

Hardware Reference Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver
In NetLinx Studio’s OnLine Tree, the DXLink Transmitters and Receivers each display their ports.
NOTE:
For additional information on NetLinx Studio, refer to the “WebConsole & Programming Guide – NI & DVX Central Controllers”
and the “WebConsole & Programming Guide – NX-Series Controllers” (available at www.amx.com).
NOTE:
All command text is based on a Unicode index.
TIP:
Occasionally new firmware versions affect SEND_COMMANDs. If a command does not produce the expected results, we suggest
checking the product’s current firmware version against the information in the “Firmware Version” table on page 89.
CHANNELs
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.
NOTE:
Since not all devices support both upper and lower case, for best results all commands and parameters should be sent in
upper case.
