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.
Receiver Video SEND_COMMANDs – see page 73
Receiver Audio SEND_COMMANDs – see page 76
Transmitter Video SEND_COMMANDs – see page 77
Transmitter Audio SEND_COMMANDs – see page 80
