Installing into an Equipment Rack

Use the optional AC-RK Accessory Rack Kit (FG515) to mount the Controller into a standard 19"

equipment rack.

1. Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded object.

2. Align the front of the NI-700 through any of the three rectangular openings on the AC-RK.

3. Use the included mounting screws to secure the unit’s faceplate to the AC-RK.

4. Thread the cables through the opening in the equipment rack. Allow for enough slack in the

cables to accommodate for movement during the installation process.

5. Reconnect all cables to their appropriate source/terminal locations. Verify that the terminal

end of the power cable is not connected to the a power supply before plugging in the 2-pin

power connector.

6. Align the ends of the AC-RK with the screw openings along the sides of the equipment rack.

7. Secure the AC-RK to the rack by using the four #10-32 screws (80-0186) and four #10

washers (80-0342) supplied in the kit.

8. Apply power to the unit to complete the installation process.

Connections and Wiring

Preparing Captive Wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Note: Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.

2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring dia-

grams and connector types described in this section).

3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively

doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the

incoming PWR and GND cables from the external source must be connected to their corresponding

locations on connector (FIG. 2).

1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix cable.

Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal

connector.

2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires.

3. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the external 12 VDC-compliant

power supply.

PORT 1/2 (DB9) Connectors

FIG. 3 shows the pinout and wiring specification information for the rear RS-232/422/485 (DB9)

Device Ports (PORT 1 /2). These ports support most standard RS-232 communication protocols for

data transmission (Ports 1 & 2).

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

A standard CAT5 Ethernet cable provides 10/100 network connectivity between the Integrated

Controller and the network (FIG. 4).

Note: On NetLinx Masters (such as those aboard the NI-700), from within the Telnet or Terminal

applications; you can send the SET ETHERNET MODE command to assign the speed of your

Ethernet connection.

Sample NI-700 command:

SET ETHERNET MODE AUTO

The NI-700 only allows you to set the Ethernet mode to AUTO negotiate the Ethernet connection

speed. Using any of the other connection modes (10 Half/Full or 100 Half/Full) results in an error

message.

Program Port Baud Rate Settings

The Configuration DIP switch is located on the front panel. 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.

By default, the baud rate is set to 38,400 (bps).

Note: DIP switch 1 activates/deactivates the Program Run Disable Mode. DIP Switches 2,3, and 4

must remain OFF at all times.

Setting the Configuration (Program Port) DIP Switch

1. Disconnect the power supply from the rear 2-pin PWR (green) connector.

2. Set DIP switch positions according to the information listed in the previous Baud Rate

Settings table.

3. Reapply power to the unit.

Preparing the NI-700 for Serial Communication

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

NetLinx Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).

2. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu, to open the

Master Communication Settings dialog box.

3. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog.

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

are working with a NetLinx Master.

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

are connecting to the Master via a COM port.

6. 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).

7. Click the OK button three times to return to the main application.

8. Right-click the entry in the Online Tree tab and select Refresh System.

9. Assign a System Value by using Diagnostics > Device Addressing from the Main menu.

10. Enable the Change System selection by clicking on it and then enter the current and new

System values.

11. Click the Change Device/System Number button and when finished click Done.

12. Select Tools > Reboot the Master Controller to access the Reboot the Master dialog, then

click Reboot to restart the Master and incorporate any changes.

13. Once the dialog replies with "Reboot of system complete", click Done and then click the

OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the System.The default

System value is one.

14. Right-click on the Empty Device Tree/System entry and select Refresh System to re-

populate the list.

Configuring the NI-700 for Ethernet Communication

Before continuing, complete the COM port steps above.

1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the unit’s rear Ethernet connector.

2. Select Diagnostics > Network Address from the Main menu 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 (whether 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 button three times to return to the main application.
