NI-900 NetLinx

Integrated Controller

For more detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and operating

instructions, refer to the NI-700 and NI-900 NetLinx Integrated Controllers Instruction

Manual, available online at www.amx.com.

Overview

The NI-900 unit (FG2105-90) is geared to meet the specific control and automation

needs of a single room environment requiring the control of several IR devices, where

both price and functionality are the driving requirement. This product is configured to

control a limited number of video players, projectors, lighting, thermostats, and other

electronic equipment. The NI-900 provides support for three IR/Serial Output port, one

RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 ports, four Digital Input/Output ports, and one IR RX port.

ATTENTION!

Verify you are using the latest version of NetLinx Studio (available for download

from www.amx.com).

Port Assignment and Functionality

Ethernet Ports used by the NI Controller

Note: While the NI-900 is capable of receiving 8 and 9 bit characters, it cannot receive

7 bit, 1 stop bit data from a serial device (ex: 9600,N,7,1).

Front Panel

Components:

• Program Port: RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to

a DB9 port on a PC. This port can be used with both Serial and

NetLinx commands.

• Configuration DIP Switch: Sets the communication parameters for

the Program port.

• IR RX LED: Red LED lights when IR data is being received via the

rear IR RX port.

• IR LEDs: Three red LEDs light during the transmission of IR or

Serial data via the rear IR port.

• I/O LEDs: Four yellow LEDs light when the rear I/O channels 1 - 4

are active. LED indicator for each I/O port reflects the state of that

particular port.

• Serial LEDs: One set of red and yellow LEDs light when the rear

DB9 Port (1) transmits or receives RS-232, 422, or 485 data.

These LEDs do not reflect changes in either the RTS or CTS

when hardware handshaking is used.

• LINK/ACT: Green LED lights when the Ethernet cable is

connected and an active link is established. This LED also blinks

when receiving Ethernet data packets.

• Status: Green LED lights when the Controller is programmed and

communicating properly.

• Output: Red LED lights when the Controller transmits data, sets

channels On and Off, sends data strings, etc.

• Input: Yellow LED lights when the Controller receives data from

button pushes, strings, commands, channel levels, etc.

• ID Pushbutton: Sets the NetLinx ID (Device only) assignment for

the device.

Rear Panel

Connectors:

• RS-232/422/485 (Port 1): RS-232/422/485 control port uses a

DB9 (male) connector with XON/XOFF (transmit On/transmit

Off), CTS/RTS (clear to send/ready to send), and 300 - 115,200

baud.

• IR RX (Port 6): 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix port is used to connect

one or more (8 maximum) IRX-SM+ swivel mount or IRX-DM+

Decora mount IR receivers.

The IR RX port functions using AMX IR codes (38 KHz and

455 KHz) and works ONLY with AMX IR Receivers such as the

IRX-DM+ and IRX-SM+.

• Digital I/O (Port 5): Four-channel binary I/O port for contact

closure with each input being capable of voltage sensing. Input

format is software selectable with interactive power sensing for IR

ports.

NI-900 Specifications (Cont.)

Rear Panel

Connectors

(Cont.):

• IR/Serial (Ports 2 - 4): Two IR/Serial control ports support

high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz with each output

being capable of three electrical formats: IR, Serial, Data.

Two IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.

IR ports support data mode (at limited baud rates and wiring

distances).

• AXlink LED: Green LED indicates the state of the AXlink port.

• AXlink Port: 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector provides

data and power to external control devices.

• Ethernet Port: RJ-45 port for 10/100 Mbps communication. LEDs

show communication activity, connection status, speeds, and

mode information:

SPD (speed) - Yellow LED lights On when the connection speed

is 100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.

L/A (link/activity) - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables

are connected and terminated correctly, and blinks when

receiving Ethernet data packets.

• Power Port: 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector

Operating

Environment:

• Operating Temperature: 0° C (32° F) to 50° C (122° F)

• Operating Humidity: 20% - 85% RH

Included

Accessories:

• 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix female PWR connector (41-5025)

Ethernet Port Usage

Port type Description Standard Port #

FTP The on-board Master has a built-in FTP server. 21/20 (TCP)

SSH The SSH port functions using the same interface as

Telnet but over a secure shell where it uses SSL as a

mechanism to configure and diagnose a NetLinx

system.

Note: SSH version 2 is only supported.

22 (TCP)

Telnet The NetLinx Telnet server provides a mechanism to

configure and diagnose a NetLinx system.

23 (TCP)

HTTP The Master has a built-in web server that complies

with the HTTP 1.0 specification and supports all of the

required features of HTTP v1.1. This port is used for

unsecure HTTP Internet communication between the

web browser’s UI and the target Master.

80 (TCP)

HTTPS/SSL This port is used by a web browser to securely

communicate between the web server UI and the

target Master.

443 (TCP)

ICSP Peer-to-peer protocol used for both Master-to-Master

and Master-to-device communications.

1319 (UDP/TCP)

integration!

Solutions

This feature on the Master uses, by default, port

10500 for the XML based communication protocol.

This port is connected to by the client web browser’s

JVM when integration! Solutions control pages are

retrieved from the on-board Master’s web server.
