NI-700
NetLinx Integrated Controller
For more detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and
operating instructions, refer to the NetLinx Integrated Controllers Instruction
Manual, available on-line at www.amx.com.
Overview
The NI-700 unit (FG2105-03) is geared to meet the specific control and
automation needs of a single room environment, where both price and
functionality are the driving requirement. This product is configured to control a
limited number of video players, projectors, lighting, thermostats, and other
electronic equipment. The NI-700 provides support for 1 IR/Serial Output port,
2 RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 ports, 4 Digital Input/Output ports, and 1 IR RX port.
ATTENTION!
When working with the NI-700 Integrated Controller, verify you are using the
latest version of NetLinx Studio v 2.2 build 78 or higher (available for download
from www.amx.com).

NI-700 Specifications
Dimensions (HWD): • 1.58" x 5.54" x 5.12" (4.01 cm x 14.10 cm x 13.00 cm)
• 1 rack unit high
Power: • 280 mA @ 12 VDC
Memory: •32 MB SDRAM
• 16 MB Flash chip
• 512 Kb of Non-volatile SRAM
• Refer to the NetLinx Integrated Controllers Instruction Manual for more
information.
Microprocessor: • 304 MIPS using a PowerPC™ processor
Weight: • 1.30 lbs (0.59 kg)
Enclosure: • Metal with black matte finish
Front Panel: • Program Port: RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to a
DB9 port on a PC. This port can be used with both Serial and NetLinx
commands.
• Configuration DIP Switch: Use this DIP switch to set the communication
parameters for the Program port.
• IR RX LED: Red LED lights to indicate when IR data is being received
via the rear IR RX port.
• IR LED: Red LED lights to indicate transmission of IR or Serial data
via the rear IR port.
• I/O LEDs: Four yellow LEDs light when the rear I/O channels 1-4 are
active. LED indicator for each I/O port reflects the state of that
particular port.
• Serial LEDs: Two sets of red and yellow LEDs light to indicate the rear
DB9 Ports 1 & 2 are transmitting or receiving RS-232, 422, or 485
data. These LEDs do not reflect changes in either the RTS or CTS
when hardware handshaking is used.
• LINK/ACT: Green LED lights when the Ethernet cable is connected and
an active link is established. This LED also blinks when receiving
Ethernet data packets.
• Status: Green LED lights to indicate that the system is programmed
and communicating properly.
• Output: Red LED lights when the Controller transmits data, sets
channels On and Off, sends data strings, etc.
• Input: Yellow LED lights when the Controller receives data from button
pushes, strings, commands, channel levels, etc.
• ID Pushbutton: Sets the NetLinx ID (Device only) assignment for the
device.

NI-700 Specifications (Cont.)
Rear Panel: • RS-232/422/485 (Ports 1 & 2): Two RS-232/422/485 control ports
using DB9 (male) connectors with XON/XOFF (transmit on/transmit
off), CTS/RTS (clear to send/ready to send), and 300-115,200 baud.
• IR RX (Port 5): This single port is used to connect one or more
(8 maximum) IRX-SM+ swivel mount or IRX-DM+ Decora mount IR
receivers.
The IR RX port functions using AMX IR codes (38 KHz and 455 KHz)
and works ONLY with AMX IR Receivers such as the IRX-DM+ and
IRX-SM+.
• Digital I/O (Port 4): Four-channel binary I/O port for contact closure
with each input being capable of voltage sensing. Input format is
software selectable with interactive power sensing for IR ports.
•IR/Serial (Port 3): This single port is capable of generating IR with the
use of an IR emitter (while in IR mode). This port can support
high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz and can also generate IR
with no carrier frequency.
• AXlink LED: One green LED indicates the state of the AXlink port.
• AXlink port: 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector provides data
and power to external control devices.
• Ethernet port: LEDs show communication activity, connections,
speeds, and mode information:
L/A-link/activity - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables are
connected and terminated correctly and blinks when receiving
Ethernet data packets.
SPD-speed - Yellow LED lights On when the connection speed is
100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.
• Power port: 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector
