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.
