Quick Setup and Configuration Overview
Installation Procedures
These are the steps involved with the most common installation procedures of these devices:
Carefully unpack the contents of the box.
Confirm the contents of box (page 2 thru page 14).
Familiarize yourself with the units’ connectors and wiring configurations (Connections
and Wiring section on page 17).
Upgrade the factory default 32 MB memory module with a selection of memory sizes
ranging from 64 MB to 1 GB (Compact Flash Upgrades section on page 31), if
necessary.
Install any optional NXC Control Cards (Installing NetLinx Control Cards (NI-4000
Only) section on page 29).
Set the Control Card Address range (Setting the NetLinx Control Card Addresses (NI-
4000 Only) section on page 30) and a Device value (Device:Port:System (D:P:S) section
on page 30).
Set the communication speed on the Program Port DIP switch (Setting the Configuration
DIP Switch (for the Program Port) section on page 17). Default is 38400.
Connect all rear panel components and supply power to the NI unit from the optional
PSN power supply.
Configuration and Communication
These are the general steps involved with setting up and communicating with the Integrated
Controllers’ on-board Master. In the initial communication process:
Connect and communicate with the on-board Master by using the Program port
(Communicating with the Master via the Program Port section on page 37).
Setup the System Value being used with the on-board Master (Setting the System
Value section on page 38).
Re-assign any Device values (Changing the Device Address on a NetLinx Device section
on page 40).
You can then either get a DHCP address for the on-board Master (Obtaining the Master’s
IP Address (using DHCP) section on page 42) or assign a Static IP to the on-board
Master (Assigning a Static IP to the NetLinx Master section on page 43).
Once the IP information is determined, rework the parameters for Master Communication
in order to connect to the on-board Master via the Ethernet and not the Program port
(Communicating with the On-board Master via an IP section on page 44).
