AMX NetLinx Master-Ethernet Card/Module NXC-ME260 - Manual (Page 19)

Installation and Wiring
13 NXC-ME260 NetLinx Master-Ethernet Card/Module
Ethernet ports used by the ME260
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).
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.
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
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.
1319 (UDP/TCP)
ICMP When using version 1.XX of NetLinx Studio, you must be able to PING a
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).
ICMP
Telnet The NetLinx telnet server provides a mechanism to configure and
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.
23 (TCP)
HTTP The Master has a built-in web server that complies with the HTTP 1.0
specification and supports all of the required features of HTTP v1.1. 80 (TCP)
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
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.
10500 (TCP)
