Modes and Front Panel LED Blink Patterns
The following table lists the modes and blink patterns for the front panel LEDs associated with each mode.
These patterns are not evident until after the unit is powered.
Port Assignments and Functionality
The rear Port Assignments are as follows:
AXlink Port and LED
All NI units have an AXlink port and adjacent status LED (FIG. 3). This port allows the NI to support AMX
legacy AXlink devices such as G3 touch panels (ex: CP4/A) and PosiTrack Pilot devices. A green LED shows
AXlink data activity. When the AXlink port is operating normally, blink patterns include:
 Off - No power, or the controller is not functioning properly.
 1 blink per second - Normal operation.
 3 blinks per second - AXlink bus error. Check all AXlink bus connections.
