Overview

NetLinx Integrated Controllers

NetLinx Integrated Controllers (Masters) can be programmed to control RS-232/422/485, Relay, IR/
Serial, and Input/Output devices using the NetLinx Studio application (version 2.4 or higher).

These NI Controllers feature an on-board Web Console which allows you to connect to the NI Controller
via a web browser and make various configuration and security settings.
The Web Console is described in this document (starting with the Onboard WebConsole User
Interface section on page 23).
These NI Controllers are Duet-compatible and can be upgraded via firmware. Duet is a dual-interpreter
firmware platform from AMX which combines the proven reliability and power of NetLinx with the
extensive capabilities of the Java
of a system that includes the NI-900 and other third party devices by standardizing device and function
definitions, defaulting touch panel button assignments, and controlling feedback methods.
Dynamic Device Discovery makes integration even easier by automatically identifying and
communicating with devices which support this beaconing technology.
Refer to the Manage Devices - Device Options section on page 68 for more detailed information on the
use of Dynamic Device Discovery (DDD).
