Program Port Connections and Wiring
The Integrated Controllers are equipped with a Program port located on the front of the unit. Use an RS232
programming cable to establish a connection between this Program port to your PC's COM port. This
connection provides communication with the NetLinx Integrated Controller. Then you can download NetLinx
programs to this on-board Master using the NetLinx Studio v 2.4 software program.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio instruction manual for programming instructions. The following table shows the
rear panel Program Port connector (male), pinouts, and signals.

When wiring the 422/485 connections, do NOT use pre-made 9-wire cable or connect
the wire in the cable to any connection that will not be used by the DB9 serial port.
Only use wiring that connects the needed pins.
