LAN Ports Used by the NetLinx Integrated Controllers

Port type

Description

Standard Port #

 

 

 

FTP

The on-board Master has a built-in FTP server.

21/20 (TCP)

 

 

 

SSH

The SSH port functions using the same interface as Telnet but over a

22 (TCP)

 

secure shell where it uses SSL as a mechanism to configure and diag-

 

 

nose a NetLinx system. This port value is used for secure Telnet

 

 

communication.

 

 

Note: only SSH version 2 is supported.

 

 

 

 

Telnet

The NetLinx Telnet server provides a mechanism to configure and

23 (TCP)

 

diagnose a NetLinx system.

 

 

For maximum flexibility, the Master can be configured to utilize a different

 

 

port than 23, or disable Telnet completely from either Telnet or the

 

 

Program port located on the rear of the Master itself. Once disabled, the

 

 

only way to enable Telnet again is from the Master’s Program port.

 

 

 

 

HTTP

The Master has a built-in web server that complies with the HTTP 1.0

80 (TCP)

 

specification and supports all of the required features of HTTP v1.1.

 

 

This port is used for unsecure HTTP Internet communication between

 

 

the web browser’s UI and the target Master.

 

 

 

 

HTTPS/SSL

This port is used by a web browser for secure communication between

443 (TCP)

 

the web server UI and the target Master. This port is also used for

 

 

simultaneous encryption of this data, using the SSL certificate informa-

 

 

tion on the Master as a key.

 

 

 

 

ICSP

Peer-to-peer protocol used for both Master-to-Master and Master-to-

1319 (UDP/TCP)

 

device communications.

 

 

For maximum flexibility, the Master can be configured to utilize a different

 

 

port than 1319, or disable ICSP over LAN completely from either

 

 

Telnet or the Program Port located on the rear of the Master itself.

 

 

This type of communication is used by the various AMX products for

 

 

communication amongst themselves.

 

 

 

 

integration!

This feature on the Master uses, by default, port 10500 for the XML

10500 (TCP)

Solutions

based communication protocol. This port is connected to by the client

 

 

web browser’s JVM when integration! Solutions control pages are

 

 

retrieved from the on-board Master’s web server.

 

 

For maximum flexibility, the on-board Master can be configured to utilize

 

 

a different port than 10500 or to disable integration! Solutions completely.

 

 

 

 

Replacing the Timekeeper Battery

The NI-3101-SIG uses a combination lithium battery and clock crystal package called a Timekeeper. Only one Timekeeper unit is installed within a given NI-3101-SIG. The battery can be expected to have up to 3 years of usable life under very adverse conditions. Actual life is appreciably longer under normal operating conditions. This calculation is based on storing the unit without power in 50° C (120° F) temperature until battery levels are no longer acceptable. The part number for a replacement battery is 57-0032.

To replace the Timekeeper battery:

1.Discharge the static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.

2.Unplug all the connectors from the device.
