IRL File Transfers
Overview
The NetLinx Studio software application (available for free download from
www.amx.com
) provides the ability to
transfer IR Library files to NetLinx devices such as DXLink Transmitters and Receivers.
Endpoint System (with a Switcher)
When a Transmitter and/or a Receiver are being used in conjunction with a switcher as an endpoint system, the
switcher’s integrated Master is used for the IRL file transfer. FIG. 38 shows a Transmitter and a Receiver bound to the
integrated Master in an Enova DGX 32 in NetLinx Studio’s OnLine Tree. Follow the instructions on the top of page 73
to prepare an endpoint system for IRL file transfer and the instructions on page 75 for the actual transfer.
Extender System (Standalone)
When a standalone Transmitter and Receiver Module pair are being used as a extender system, the IRL file transfer can
be done one of two ways:
The module can be bound to any Master on the network and then unbound when the file transfer procedure is
complete.
If a Master is not present on the network, a Virtual NetLinx Master can be set up using a PC (see page 118).
Follow the instructions on page 74 to prepare an extender system for IRL file transfer and the instructions on page 75 for
the actual transfer.
