Overview
This section describes the Send_Commands, Send_Strings, and Channel commands you can use to program the Master.
The examples in this section require a declaration in the DEFINE_DEVICE section of your program to work correctly.
Refer to the NetLinx Programming Language instruction manual for specifics about declarations and DEFINE_DEVICE
information.
Port Assignments by NetLinx Master
Master SEND_COMMANDs
These commands are specific to the Master and not the Controller. These commands are sent to the DPS 0:1:0 (the
Master you are connected to).
A device (<DEV>) must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the Device: Port: System
(<D:P:S>).
NetLinx programming information for each Master is provided in the Master’s
Operation/Reference Guide (available at www.amx.com).
