Overview

The NI-700 (FG2105-70) 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 one IR/Serial Output port, two RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 ports, four Digital Input/Output ports, and one IR RX port.

ATTENTION!

Verify you are using the latest version of NetLinx Studio (available for download from www.amx.com).
