Introduction
Introduction
The X100-Series of NetLinx Integrated Master Controllers can both be programmed to control RS-232/422/485, Relay, IR/Serial, and Input/Output devices through the use of both the NetLinx programming language and the NetLinx Studio application version 2.x. Another key feature of this products is the ability to easily access the configuration switches without having to remove a cover plate.

References within this manual to NI X100-Series Controllers are used to describe the NI-2100/3100/4100 Integrated Controllers. When there is an overlap of information with other related NI Controllers, an X will be used to refer to both sets of units.
As an example, if a feature is shared by both the NI-4000 and the NI-4100 Controller, the term NI-4x00 Series is used.
These NI Controllers are shipped with Duet firmware and can not be downgraded to earlier Non-Duet firmware (< build 300).
These NI Controllers are Duet-compatible and can be upgraded via firmware. Duet is a dual-interpreter firmware platform from AMX which combines the proven reliability and power of NetLinx with the extensive capabilities of the Java®2 MicroEdition (J2ME) platform. Duet simplifies the programming of a system that includes the NI-900 and other third party devices by standardizing device and function definitions, defaulting touch panel button assignments, and controlling feedback methods. Dynamic Device Discovery makes integration even easier by automatically identifying and communicating with devices which support this new beaconing technology.
