DXP-PRO v1.1 - On-Site Installer’s Guide
Device Addressing
This section defines the Device IDs of all the devices defined by Design XPress - Professional
(DXP-PRO). The devices listed in this section must be set to the given device IDs. If this is not
done the system will not behave properly. This section is divided up by device type: touch panels
and miscellaneous.
Most device IDs are set inside the NetLinx code. These devices must be connected to the correct
port of the NetLinx Controller to operate properly. The exceptions to this are the touch panels.
Their device IDs must be set from the setup screen on the panel itself. Make sure that after the
device ID is set on the G3 panels, you also set the number of devices used on the touch panel.
DXP-PRO uses 4 devices on each G3 touch panel. So, if the touch panel is set to use device ID 128
with 4 devices used, that panel will actually occupy device IDs 128, 129, 130, and 131.
Wiring/Connections
This section of the report details the locations where all of the cables will connect. It will define the
connections for all of the AMX equipment as well as all source and display equipment, IR ports,
and any other connection that must be made. An example is:
CD Changer is connected to NetLinx using IR port 2, IR pulse time 3/10 second
DVD is connected to switcher input 1
Go through this section of the report one item at a time and perform each connection. Use this
section as a list of connections to make and check them off as you go.
General Information
This section of the report details the user interface file names for each touch panel, which files need
to be transferred to the Master, lighting scene addresses, file names of the generated NetLinx
software, etc.
An example is:
Lighting Scenes
Lighting Address=1 Button=102 Scene=Room Off
Lighting Address=1 Button=1 Scene=Scene 1
When using G4 panels, you do not need to set the number of devices used.
Each Modero panel is shipped with a factory default panel Device ID value of 10001.
Each consecutive panel added to the project (within the Touch Panel Interface dialog
of the DXP-PRO wizard) adds a value of one to the initial (default) panel device ID
value of 10501. The value of the panel must be reset to correspond to the Device ID
value assigned by the created DXP-PRO panel project.
