Connecting the ANT-RDR To a NetLinx Master

The ANT-RDR uses a single 4-pin captive-wire AxLink port to connect the ANT-RDR to a NetLinx Master, and (optionally) to other ANT-RDRs. To connect the ANT-RDR to the NetLinx Master via AxLink, install the AXlink data/power bus wiring as shown in FIG. 11.
