Connections and Wiring

Wiring a Power Connection

Use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the Controller via the rear 2-pin

3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector. The incoming PWR and GND cable from the PSN power

supply must be connected to their corresponding locations within the PWR connector.

• This unit should only have one source of incoming power.

• Using more than one source of power to the Controller can result in damage to the

internal components and a possible burn out.

• Apply power to the unit only after installation is complete.

RS-232/422/485 Wiring Connector Information

FIG. 2 shows the pinout and wiring specification information for the RS-232/422/485 (DB9)

Device Ports. These ports support most standard serial mouse control devices and RS-232

communication protocols for PC data transmission.

The NI-2100 uses Ports 1 - 3.

WARNING: When wiring the 422/485 connections, do NOT use pre-made 9-wire cable or

connect the wire in the cable to any connection that will not be used by the DB9 serial port.

Only use wiring that connects the needed pins.

Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Connector

The RJ-45 Ethernet connector provides 10/100 network connectivity between the panel and

the NetLinx Master (FIG. 3).

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide communication between the Integrated

Controller and external NetLinx devices.

Baud Rate Settings (Program Port DIP Switch)

The Program Port DIP switch is located on the rear of the device. Use this DIP switch to set

the baud rate for the Program Port, according to the settings shown in the following table.

Make sure the baud rate you set matches the baud rate on your PC's NetLinx COM Settings

before programming the unit.

Note: DIP switch 1 activates/deactivates the Program Run Disable Mode. DIP Switches 2,3,

and 4 must remain OFF at all times.

Ethernet Ports Used by the NI-2100

Preparing the NI-2100 for Serial Communication

To establish serial communication with the Controller via the PROGRAM (DB9) port:

1. Use a Serial DB9 cable (i.e. CC-COM Programming Port Cable - not included) to con-

nect the Controller’s Program port to a DB9 port on a PC.

2. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc

> NetLinx Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).

3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the menu bar, to open the

Master Communication Settings dialog box.

4. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings

dialog.

5. Click the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate

you are working with a NetLinx Master.

6. Click the Serial radio button (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate

you are connecting to the Master via a COM port.

7. Click the Edit Settings button (on the Communications Settings dialog) to open the

Serial Settings dialog and set the COM port parameters (used to communicate to the

NetLinx Master).

8. Click OK to close all dialogs and return to the main application.

9. Right-click the Online Tree tab entry and select Refresh System: the Controller

should appear in the Device Tree. If not, verify that the Serial cable is connected

properly, and that the Baud Rate settings on the Controller (set via the Program Port

DIP Switch) match the settings in NetLinx Studio.

Once Serial communication has been established, use NetLinx Studio to configure the

Controller for Ethernet Communication, as described below.

Configuring the NI-2100 for Ethernet Communication

Before continuing, complete the COM port steps above.

1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Controller to the LAN to which the PC running

NetLinx Studio is connected.

Note: The NI-x100 Controllers feature an Auto MDI/MDI-X Ethernet port. This provides

the option of using either a standard (straight through), or a crossover Ethernet cable

to communicate with a PC - both cable types will work.

2. Select Diagnostics > Network Address from the menu bar and enter the System,

Device (0 for a Master), and Host Name information.

3. To configure the Address:

• Use a DHCP Address by selecting the Use DHCP radio button, then click the GET IP

button (to obtain a DHCP Address from the DHCP Server), click the SET IP

Information button (to retain the new address), and then finish the process by clicking

the Reboot Master > OK buttons.

• Use a Static IP Address by selecting the Specify IP Address radio button, enter the IP

parameters into the available fields, then click the SET IP Information button (to retain

the pre-reserved IP Address to the Master), and then click the Reboot Master > OK

buttons to finish the process.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 5 from the previous section, but rather than selecting the Serial

option, choose TCP/IP and edit the settings to match the IP Address you are using

(Static or IP).

5. Click on the Authentication Required radio box (if the Master is secured) and press

the User Name and Password button to enter a valid username and password being

used by the secured Master.

6. Click the OK to close all dialogs and return to the main application.

Onboard WebConsole

NetLinx Masters have a built-in WebConsole that allows you to make various configuration

settings via a web browser on any PC that has access to the Master.

The WebConsole consists of a series of web pages that are collectively called the "Master

Configuration Manager". Refer to the NI Series NetLinx Integrated Controllers WebConsole

& Programming Guide for details on the WebConsole.

Accessing the WebConsole

From any PC that has access to the LAN that the target Master resides on:

1. Open a web browser and type the IP Address of the target Master in the Address Bar.

2. Press Enter to access WebConsole for that Master. The initial view is the WebControl

page.
