Ethernet Ports Used By the Integrated Controller

Ethernet Port Descriptions

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 diagnose

 

 

a NetLinx system.

 

 

This port value is used for secure Telnet communication.

 

 

Note: SSH version 2 is only 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 Pro-

 

 

gram 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 to securely communicate between the

443 (TCP)

 

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

 

 

simultaneously encrypt this data using the SSL certificate information 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 Ethernet 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 product for

 

 

communication amongst themselves.

 

 

 

 

integration!

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

10500 (TCP)

Solutions

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.

NI-2100, NI-3100, NI-4100 specifications

The AMX NI-4100, NI-2100, and NI-3100 are sophisticated, next-generation control systems designed to enhance the automation and management of audiovisual (AV) environments in various professional settings. These devices are built to streamline user interactions and improve overall efficiency in managing complex AV installations.

The AMX NI-4100 stands as one of the most robust solutions in this lineup, featuring a powerful processor that can handle intensive processing tasks seamlessly. With its impressive memory capacity, the NI-4100 supports large-scale installations, making it ideal for corporate environments, educational institutions, and large auditoriums. This device operates on the latest version of the AMX control system software, ensuring compatibility with existing AV equipment. It also incorporates advanced networking capabilities, allowing for integration with multiple devices over an Ethernet network. The NI-4100 is equipped with numerous I/O ports, including multiple serial and IR outputs, offering extensive connectivity options for controlling various devices.

The AMX NI-3100, while slightly less powerful than the NI-4100, offers many essential features for small to medium-sized applications. It is designed with a focus on user experience, boasting an intuitive interface that simplifies operation for users. The NI-3100 supports the powerful AMX programming environment, which enables easy customization and programming of the control system to suit specific needs. Like its counterpart, the NI-3100 offers robust networking options and is capable of handling multiple device integrations, but in a more compact form factor. This makes it an excellent choice for conference rooms, huddle spaces, and education sectors where expertise in AV handling is not always present.

The AMX NI-2100 is the most compact model in the series, tailored for environments where space and budget considerations are paramount. Despite its smaller size, the NI-2100 shares many core functionalities seen in its larger counterparts. It maintains essential control features and reliable performance, making it suitable for smaller installations such as breakout rooms or smaller classrooms. The NI-2100 supports the same programming environment, ensuring it can be integrated into existing AMX solutions without compatibility issues.

All three models leverage AMX's innovative technology, allowing for seamless integration with a diverse range of third-party AV devices, enhancing the capability and scalability of any AV installation. They are also designed with security protocols to protect against unauthorized access, ensuring that the AV environments remain secure. Overall, the AMX NI-4100, NI-3100, and NI-2100 represent a complete suite of control solutions for varying AV needs, proving to be versatile assets in the modern multimedia landscape.
