NX-4200 Specifications (Cont.)
Rear Panel Components: (Cont.)
Relays (Port 21):
8-channel single-pole single throw relay ports
Each relay is independently controlled.
Supports up to 8 independent external relay devices
Channel range = 1-8
Each relay can switch up to 24 V
DC
or 28 V
AC
@ 1 A
Two 8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connectors provide connection to relays
Digital I/O (Port 22):
8-channel binary I/O port for contact closure with each input being capable of voltage sensing. Input format
is software selectable with interactive power sensing for IR ports.
IR/Serial (Ports 11-18):
8 IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz with each output being capable
of two electrical formats: IR or Serial.
8 IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.
IR ports support data mode (at limited baud rates and wiring distances).
AxLink Port:
2 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector that provides data and power to AxLink external control
devices. Green AxLink LED indicates the state of the AxLink port.
SDHC Slot:
1 SDHC card slot for future use.
Configuration DIP Switch: The Configuration DIP Switch allows you to set boot-time operations (see the
page 32 for more information.)
ICSLAN Ports:
4 RJ-45 connectors for ICSLAN interface with support for PoE.
USB Port:
1 Type-A USB port for connecting a mass storage device for loading .tkn files, reading or writing configuration
files and log files, or updating the firmware on the unit.
ID Pushbutton:
1 black ID pushbutton used during boot to revert to factory configuration or factory firmware. Also used after
boot to toggle IP mode between Static and DHCP.
LAN 10/100 Port:
1 RJ-45 connector provides TCP/IP communication. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows
you to use either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables.
The Ethernet Port LEDs show communication activity, connection status, speeds, and mode information:
• SPD (speed) - Yellow LED lights On when the connection speed is 100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is
10 Mbps.
• L/A (link/activity) - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables are connected and terminated correctly,
and blinks when receiving Ethernet data packets.
Power Connection:
2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector with retention screws provides power to the NX-4200. The
NX-4200 can be powered either with a connection to the main AC power (110/220V
AC
) or from an external
12V
DC
power supply.
