AxLink Device Addressing

Metreau Keypads

AxLink Device Addressing

Overview

Metreau Keypads used in NetLinx applications require a unique numeric AxLink device address of 1-255.

Consider specifying the device address for each keypad before final installation.

Device Addressing on MET-6N Keypads

The MET-6N uses two AxLink devices addresses - one for the Keypad itself, and a second one for

the IR Receiver.

The device address of the IR Receiver is auto-assigned to be one number higher than the device

address of the Keypad itself (to which the firmware is uploaded).

The MET-6N will appear as two devices in the Devices frame, because it’s built-in IR Receiver is

recognized as a separate online device.

Firmware is uploaded to the device address of the Keypad (not the IR Receiver).

For example, if the MET-6N is set to device address 127, then the IR Receiver on that

MET-6N will appear as device number 128. Firmware must be sent to the keypad, not the IR

Receiver (in this example, device 127).

Setting The AxLink Device Address

AxLink-enabled Metreau keypads (MET-6N, MET-7 and MET-13) use an 8-position mini-DIP switch to

specify a unique device address for each keypad in a NetLinx Control System (see FIG. 13).

AxLink device addressing applies only to the MET-6SRC, MET-7 and MET-13

keypads. Metreau Audio Keypads (DAS-MET-6SRC and DAS-MET-13) do not

require device addressing.

Before touching the device, discharge the static electricity from your body by touching

a grounded metal object.
