The Control (RS-232) port* can be used for matrix switching control functionality as an alternative to Native NetLinx
control. We recommend using only one at a time, with native NetLinx as the preferred method and the RS-232 port as a
backup because commands on the Native NetLinx connection will be accepted on a first come/first served basis (which
may conflict with the BCS commands).
* BCS (Basic Control Structure) commands are sent as ASCII characters through the RS-232 port. For information on
BCS commands, see the Instruction Manual – BCS Basic Control Structure Protocol at www.amx.com.
Ethernet Plus Serial Control and Configuration
The Ethernet connector and its LED along with the Serial (RJ-12) connector and its LEDs are to the right of the power
receptacle. An ID push button (not required for installation) which places the system in ID mode for setting the NetLinx
ID (device only) is to the left of the Serial port. The ID push button is used in conjunction with NetLinx Studio; see
NetLinx Studio documentation for details.
