Ethernet ports used by the ME260

Ethernet Ports Used by the ME260

Port type	Description	Standard Port #
ICSP	Peer-to-peer protocol used for both Master-to-Master and Master-to-device	1319 (UDP/TCP)
	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.
ICMP	When using version 1.XX of NetLinx Studio, you must be able to PING a	ICMP
	Master in order to be able to connect to it over a network.
	• Note: NetLinx Studio version 2.0 or higher allows a user the ability to
	turn Off this requirement by de-selecting the "Automatically Ping the
	Master Controller to ensure availability" feature from within the
	TCP/IP Setting dialog (default condition is On).
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.
FTP	The NXC-ME260 has a built-in FTP server that conforms to RFC959.	21/20 (TCP)
Internet Inside	The Internet Inside feature the Master uses, by default, is port 10500 for	10500 (TCP)
	the XML based communication protocol. This port is connected to by the
	client web browser’s JVM when Internet Inside 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 Internet Inside completely.

SPE Port Connection/Wiring

Use an RJ-11 cable to connect the NXC-ME260 to an AXB-SPE Slave Port Expander.

The EXPANSION OUT port on the rear panel of the NXC-ME260 connects to the EXPANSION IN port on the rear panel of the AXB-SPE (FIG. 9).

EXPANSION IN port (RJ-11)

FIG. 9 AXB-SPE (rear panel)

You can daisy chain multiple AXB-SPE's by connecting the EXPANSION OUT on the primary AXB-SPE to the EXPANSION IN port on the secondary, as shown in FIG. 10. The connecting RJ-11 cable should not exceed 6" in length. Repeat this process to connect up to nine AXB-SPE's.
