RS-232/422/485 Ports
The RS-232/422/485 ports (ports 1 and 5 on the NX-3200/4200; port 1 on the NX-1200/2200) are 10-pin 3.5 mm
mini-Phoenix (male) connectors used for connecting A/V sources and displays. By default, these ports are RS-422- and
RS-485-disabled ports. These ports can be used as RS-232 ports by disabling RS-422 and RS-485 on the ports. Only
with RS-422/485 disabled will the ports operate as RS-232. See the SET BAUD command and the TSET
BAUD command in the NetLinx Programming chapter of the NX-Series Controllers WebConsole and Programming
Guide for more information on disabling RS-422 and RS-485 on these ports. These ports support most standard RS-232,
RS-422, and RS-485 communication protocols for data transmission.
FIG. 16 displays the RS-232/422/485 ports for each NX-series controller.
