Program Port Connections and Wiring

The Integrated Controllers are equipped with a Program port located on the front of the unit. Use an
RS232 programming cable to establish a connection between this Program port to your PC's COM port.
This connection provides communication with the NetLinx Integrated Controller. Then you can
download NetLinx programs to this on-board Master using the NetLinx Studio v 2.4 software program.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio instruction manual for programming instructions. The following table shows
the rear panel Program Port connector (male), pinouts, and signals.
