Programming the Mio R-4

Programming the Mio R-4

Overview

Most functionality of the Mio R-4 is handled using the application TPDesign4. Go to www.amx.com for the supporting documentation.

The Mio R-4 recognizes a select number of NetLinx Commands. For a full list and descriptions, consult the SEND_COMMANDs section on page 41.

Before doing any programming for the Mio R-4, you must download and install the latest AMX USB LAN driver from www.amx.com. The user will be required to install the driver, put the device in USB mode, and connect the device to the computer prior to any upload or download.

Using the Programming Jack on the Mio R-4

The programming jack located on the back of the Mio R-4 (FIG. 21) is used for communication between the device and AMX software. The programming jack uses a CC-USB Programming cable, USB to mini USB (FG10-5965). You can order the programming cable from AMX if you do not currently possess one. While loading your configuration file, make sure the device is situated in the charging cradle.
