Removing NetLinx Control Cards (NI-4100 Only)
To install NetLinx Control Card:
1. Discharge any static electricity from your body, by touching a grounded object and unplug all
connectors (if any) from the unit.
2. Remove the three faceplate screws by turning them in a counter-clockwise direction.
3. Remove the faceplate from the front plate (FIG. 7 on page 17).
4. Gently grasp the rear edge of the control card and gently pull it out from the unit (along the
internal guide slots).
5. Re-secure the faceplate by inserting the three faceplate screws by turning them in a clockwise
direction and securing the front plate to the Integrated Controller.
6. Re-apply power and other connections as necessary.
ICSNet Daughter Card Installation (NI-2100/3100 Only)
The ICSNet Daughter Card (FG2105-10) is used to provide ICSNet connectivity for those NI-2100
and NI-3100 units (FIG. 9) that are not already ICSNet-ready. Although this card is already
installed within the NI-4100 NetLinx Integrated Controller, it is an optional accessory to both the
baseline NI-2100 and NI-3100 units.
The NI-2100 (FG2105-04) can be upgraded to provide 1 ICSHub and 2 ICSNet ports through
either a field installation of the optional ICSNet Daughter Card or by purchasing this upgrade as a
pre-installed component within the NI-2100 Kit (FG2105-14).
NUMBER: 16-bit integer represents the device number
PORT: 16-bit integer represents the port number (in the range 1 through the number of
ports on the Controller or device)
SYSTEM: 16-bit integer represents the system number (0 = this system)
