Adding Ethernet-Controlled Devices To The Project - AMX AXT-CA10 Instruction Manual

To add the Serial device within the Device Data tab:
1. Select the type of equipment you are adding from the Source Type drop-down list.
2. Enter a name for the device in the Display Name field. This is the name for the device that will
appear on the touch panel.
3. Use the radio buttons to select Serial as the Control Method associated with the new device.
When you select a desired CD/DVD model from the Control Logic field, the changer size is
automatically filled and no longer alterable (greyed-out).
The control methods available for selection depend on the device type specified.
For example, if you select a Camera, the only control method options are Serial and
AXlink (the remaining radio buttons are both disabled).
4. Select the required baud rate for the Serial device from the Baud Rate drop-down list.

DXP-PRO v1.1 - Programmer's Guide
The above example uses 3 NXC-COM2 cards for communication to the external Serial
devices. If any of the other Master devices (NI-Series and ME260/64) are selected, then
there will be no need to aquire an AXB-232++ or utilize the AXlink Device IDs, as these
other Masters contain an ICSNet communication port. So to change the need to use an
AXB-232++, simply choose a Master other than the NI-700.
Good examples of Ethernet capable devices are the MAX units.
