LAN Port The NXT-700 may be connected to a network using a standard RJ-45 Ethernet cable in this port. Both 10Mb and 100Mb connections are supported.
Page 16
Digital I/O 1&2 Each I/O port is capable of being used in one of two different configurations; Digital Input, and Digital Output. These modes of operation can be configured in the built in setup pages of the NXT-700 or via RPC commands.
Page 17
To program the NXT-700 to send IR commands, you’ll need to download one of the device appropriate .WIR files, or use the IR Learner to learn the remote for the device. Use the IR Diagnostics page. an IR Action, or an RPC command to send IR commands out the IR ports. IR Emitters The IR Emitters are small cables with an IR Emitter at one end and a small audio style plug at the other.
VI. Expansion Hardware The NXT-700 control system has the ability to expand its capabilities using the docking USB 2.0 Host and USB 2.0 OTG connectors. This expansion bus is capable of high speed connection up to 400Mbps to pass through small or large amounts of data for additional features like additional ports, Bluetooth Voice Lift, WIFI, and much more.
VIII. Mounting & Installation The WMB-700 back box is sold separately from the NXT-700. The back box is designed to be mounted into most drywall style installations of various thickness as well as podium wood panels.

This allows for great flexability when controlling devices and making available industry standard language choices to program with never before available with control systems.
Page 28
Once entered a choice dialog box will appear making available the choice to exit to desktop or to change settings.
Page 29
If change settings is selected another dialog box will appear allowing to change the password and to set the panels ability to boot into Kiosk Mode.

Page 33
From the control panel the default home page for the browser can be set. Please note the default home page setting inside the browser itself will not work for the Kiosk mode. It must be set up from the Internet Options dialog.
