Quick Setup and Configuration Overview

Update the Controller and Control Card Firmware

Before using your new Integrated Controller, you must FIRST update your NetLinx

Studio to the most recent release.

Upgrade the on-board Master firmware through an IP Address via the Ethernet connector (Upgrading the On-board Master Firmware via an IP section on page 46)

(IP recommended).

Upgrade any connected NetLinx Control Cards being used within the NI-4000 unit through an IP Address (Upgrading the Control Card Firmware via an IP Address section on page 52).

Once programming of the on-board Master is complete and the NetLinx Control Cards are installed; you can now finalize the installation process.

This installation process is done by replacing the faceplate on the NI-4000 (Installing NetLinx Control Cards (NI-4000 Only) section on page 29) and installing the Controller into an equipment rack (Installing the Integrated Controller into an Equipment

Rack section on page 34).

Program NetLinx Security into the On-Board Master

Setup and finalize your NetLinx Security Protocols (NetLinx Security and Web Server section on page 53 or NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection section on page 93).

Program your NI Controller (Programming section on page 109).
