Introduction

NI-2100 Specifications (Cont.)

Rear Panel Components (Cont.):

• IR/Serial

4 IR/Serial control ports support high-frequency carriers of up to 1.142 MHz

(Ports 5 - 8):

with each output being capable of two electrical formats: IR or Serial.

 

• 4 IR/Serial data signals can be generated simultaneously.

 

• IR ports support data mode (at limited baud rates and wiring distances).

 

 

• Program Port:

RS-232 DB9 connector (male) can be connected to a DB9 port on a PC. This

 

connector can be used with serial and NetLinx programming commands, as

 

well as other DB9 capable devices, to both upload/download information from

 

the NetLinx Studio program.

 

 

• Configuration DIPSwitch:

Sets the communication parameters for the Program port (see Baud Rate

 

Settings).

 

 

• ID Pushbutton:

Sets the NetLinx ID (Device only) assignment for the device.

 

 

• Ethernet Port:

RJ-45 connector provides TCP/IP communication. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-

 

X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or crossover

 

Ethernet cables.

 

The Ethernet Port LEDs show communication activity, connection status,

 

speeds, and mode information:

 

SPD (speed) - Yellow LED lights On when the connection speed is 100

 

Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.

 

L/A (link/activity) - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables are

 

connected and terminated correctly, and blinks when receiving Ethernet

 

data packets.

 

 

• AxLink Port:

4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector that provides data and power to

 

external control devices. Green AXlink LED indicates the state of the AXlink

 

port.

 

 

• Power Port:

2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) connector.

 

 

Included Accessories:

2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) PWR connector (41-5025)

 

4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (female) AXlink connector (41-5047)

 

6-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix female I/O connector (41-5063)

 

8-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix female Relay connector (41-5083)

 

• Installation Kit (KA2105-01):

 

- 8-pin Relay Common Strip

 

- 4 rack mount screws

 

- 4 washers

 

• 2 CC-NIRC NetLinx IR Emitter Cables (FG10-000-11)

 

• 2 removable rack ears (62-2105-07)

 

 

Other AMX Equipment:

2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix male connector (41-5026)

 

• CSB Cable Support Bracket (FG517)

 

CC-COM Programming Port Cable (FG10-727)

 

CC-NSER IR/Serial cable (FG10-007-10)

 

• ICSNet daughter card (FG2105-10)

 

• NCK, NetLinx Connector Kit (FG2902)

 

• STS, Serial To Screw Terminal (FG959)

 

• Upgrade Compact Flash (factory programmed with firmware):

 

NXA-CF2NI256M - 256 MB compact flash card (FG2116-47)

 

NXA-CF2NI512M - 512 MB compact flash card (FG2116-48)

 

NXA-CF2NI1G - 1 GB compact flash card (FG2116-49)

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.
