Programming the Mio R-4
Overview
Most functionality of the Mio R-4 is handled using the application TPDesign4. Go to www.amx.com for
the supporting documentation.
The Mio R-4 recognizes a select number of NetLinx Commands. For a full list and descriptions, consult
the SEND_COMMANDs section on page 41.
Using the Programming Jack on the Mio R-4
The programming jack located on the back of the Mio R-4 (FIG. 22) is used for communication between
the device and AMX software. The programming jack uses a CC-USB Programming cable, USB to mini
USB (FG10-5965), which can be ordered from AMX. Make sure the device is situated in the charging
cradle before starting download of configuration files.
To download Configuration Files:
1. Flip and turn the Mio R-4 device so that the buttons are facing away from you and the device is
upside down.
2. Holding the device in both hands, place your thumbs on the battery door and slide the battery door
free.
3. Place the device in the charging cradle and connect the mini USB programming cable (FG10-5965)
into the programming jack on the back side of the remote device.
4. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on your computer.
5. Configure the communication parameters in NetLinx Studio or File Transfer 2 and download the
resultant file.
6. Disconnect the USB cable after the download. The Mio R-4 will self-reboot after the file download.
Before doing any programming for the Mio R-4, you must download and install the
latest AMX USB LAN driver from www.amx.com. The user will be required to install
the driver, put the device in USB mode, and connect the device to the computer prior
to any upload or download.

USB file transfers should only be performed while the unit is on the charging cradle
and with the sleep timeout set to 0 (off). Set the sleep timeout (in the Setup Menu,
Remote and Display Settings->Timeout) to 0 BEFORE attaching the USB cable.
