Using the ID Button to Change the Controller’s Device Value

Use the ID Button on the rear panel (in conjunction with ID Mode function in NetLinx Studio) to establish a NetLinx Device ID for the device.

The steps described and the dialogs shown in this section are in the NetLinx Studio application. NetLinx Studio is available to download from www.amx.com.

Refer to the NetLinx Studio on-line help for information on using NetLinx Studio.

1.Access the Device Addressing dialog (FIG. 18) by selecting Diagnostics > Device Addressing.

FIG. 18 Device Addressing dialog

2.Enter the system number in the Destination System field.

3.Enter the desired device number in the Change to Device box (Device field), and again enter the system number (in the System field).

4.Click the Start Identify Mode button. This action activates Identify Mode on the named System.

"Identify Mode" means that the system is put on hold while it waits for an event from any NetLinx device in the named system (for example, pushing the ID button on a NetLinx device). The device that generates the first event is the device that gets identified.

The Device Addressing dialog displays the "Waiting...Press Cancel to Quit..." message, indicating that Identify Mode is currently active (NetLinx Studio is waiting to detect a device - FIG. 19).
