Setting the CardFrame DIP Switch (NI-4x00 Only)
Refer to the Setting the NetLinx Control Card Addresses (NI-4100 Only) section on page 18 for a
detailed explanation on this process.
Program Port Connections and Wiring
The Integrated Controllers are equipped with a Program port located on the rear of the unit.
Use an RS232 programming cable to establish a connection between this Program port to your PC's
COM port. This connection provides communication with the NetLinx Integrated Controller. Then
you can download NetLinx programs to this on-board Master using the NetLinx Studio v 2.4
software program. Refer to the NetLinx Studio instruction manual for programming instructions.
The following table shows the rear panel Program Port connector (male), pinouts, and signals.
Think of the PRD Mode (On) equating to a PC’s SAFE Mode setting. This mode
allows a user to continue powering a unit, update the firmware, and download a new
program while circumventing any problems with a currently downloaded program.
Power must be cycled to the unit after activating/deactivating this mode on the
Program Port DIP switch #1.
