Page 7: Overview
The NX-series of NetLinx Integrated Master Controllers can be programmed to control Ethernet, RS-232/422/485, Relay, IR, and Input/Output devices, as well as other AMX devices connected via AxLink, through the use of both NetLinx and Java programming languages. NetLinx programs are developed using the NetLinx Studio application version 4.x. Java programs are developed using the Cafe Duet application. -
Page 8: What's New
Serial Ports Differences Unlike current NI controllers, not all serial ports on the X-series controllers support RS-422 and RS-485. The NX-1200 and NX- 2200 have one serial port that supports RS-232/422/485, and the NX-3200 and NX-4200 have two. The rest of the serial ports (1 on the NX-1200, 3 on the NX-2200 and 6 on the NX-3200 and NX-4200) support only the RS-232 protocol. -
Page 9: Copy And Clone Configuration
Overview Copy and Clone Conf iguration On any X-Series controller, configuration information can be exported to and imported from a USB storage device. There are two different levels of configuration export: “COPY” and “CLONE”. See the NX Series NetLinx Integrated Controllers WebConsole & Programming Guide for information on using the EXPORT CONFIG and EXPORT CLONE telnet commands. -

Page 21: Mounting The Controller
Overview Serial, IR, AxLink, and PoE Port Diagnostics When a string is sent to a serial port or an IR pulse to an IR port, the X-Series controllers can detect and report if the port being used is in a fault condition. The controllers can also detect certain fault conditions on the AxLink bus or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) subsystem. -

RS-232/422/485 Ports The RS-232/422/485 ports (ports 1 and 5 on the NX-3200/4200; port 1 on the NX-1200/2200) are 10-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connectors used for connecting A/V sources and displays. By default, these ports are RS-422- and RS-485-disabled ports. -
Page 29: Relay Ports
When used for outputs, the I/O port acts as a switch to GND and is rated for 200mA @ 12 VDC. The NX-1200 and NX-2200 can use up to 4 I/O ports The NX-3200 and NX-4200 can use up to 8 I/O ports ... -
Page 30: Ir/Serial Port: Connections And Wiring
These ports accept an IR Emitter (CC-NIRC) that mounts onto the device's IR window, or a mini-plug (CC-NSER) that connects to the device's control jack. You can also connect a data 0 - 5 VDC device to these ports. NX-3200 and 4200 units each ship with two CC-NIRC IR Emitters (FG10-000-11). NX-1200 and 2200 units ship with one emitter each. -
Page 31: Axlink Port And Led (4-Pin Captive-Wire)
The AxLink port can be used to supply power to downstream AxLink-compatible devices as long as the maximum current draw is less than 1.5 Amps on the NX-1200 and NX-2200, and 3 Amps on the NX-3200 and NX-4200. To isolate the central controller from high in-rush current, AxLink devices, or potential power faults on the AxLink bus, it is strongly recommended that you power external AxLink devices from an independent power supply. -
