The DIP Switch settings for 16-button KeyPads are described in FIG. 13:
Setting the AxLink Address DIP Switch
The AxLink Device Address DIP switch determines whether this KeyPad will function as an AxLink device
or as a Serial device.
If the DIP Switch is set to anything other than zero, this KeyPad will be assigned an AxLink device address
based on the switch settings.
Setting the AxLink Device Address
1.
If connected, disconnect the power supply.
2.
Locate the 8-position Device DIP switch on the rear panel.(FIG. 14).
3.
Set the DIP switch according to the switch values shown below.
The device number is set by the total value of DIP switch positions that are ON (up). As an example, the
first DIP switch in FIG. 14 defines device number 129 (1+128=129).
If you later change the device number, remove and reconnect the AxLink power connector to enter the new
device number into memory. Use AMX’s Dip Switch2 application (available for download from
www.amx.com) to assist in calculating Dip switch position values.
Programming AxLink Keypads
The SP-08-AX and SP-AX-16 AxLink Keypads can be controlled via Serial commands (see the NOVARA
RS232 Codes section on page 79), but are typically programmed using the standard NetLinx keypad device
format (like any other keypad).
These keypads issue a Push, and feedback is controlled by turning the channel on and off.
When using it as a standard NetLinx device there is no special or device specific programming to
deal with.
The SP-08-AX and SP-AX-16 Axlink Keypads are programmed using the standard Netlinx keypad
device format.
