The AMX EXB-IRS4 ICSLan Device Control Box is a game-changer for device management. It enables users to control devices remotely via an Ethernet network from a central controller. This offers a simple yet effective way to create a centralized control system, allowing one controller to serve multiple smaller rooms instead of having a controller in each room. Ethernet is the industry standard for device connection, and this control box makes it easy to add control to equipment like projectors located far from the controller. It also helps expand the number of ports on an AMX Controller when all existing ports are occupied. With Native NetLinx technology, adding an EXB to an AMX installation is a breeze. Key features include enabling ports over Ethernet for a future-proof solution, easy programming similar to other device ports on the controller, power over Ethernet eliminating the need for a local power source, a small form factor for a clean and hidden installation, and NetLinx Studio Tools for easy deployment. Technical specifications: Dimensions are 1” x 4 3/8” x 5 1/8” (2.5 cm x 11.1 cm x 13.00 cm), RU: 1; Weight is 1 lb (454 g); It uses Power over Ethernet so no local power supply is needed; Typical power draw is 1.9 Watts, max is 2.4 Watts; Connectors include (1) RJ-45 ICS-LAN Ethernet Connector, (1) 8-Pin 3.5mm captive-screw terminal for I/R ports, and (1) 6-Pin 3.5mm captive-screw terminal for inputs; FG Numbers are FG2100-23.
Using the AMX EXB-IRS4 ICSLan Device Control Box is straightforward. First, connect it to your Ethernet network using the RJ - 45 ICS - LAN Ethernet Connector. Then, you can start programming it just like you would with other device ports on the controller. Once set up, you can remotely manage devices from your central controller. When installing, you don't need to worry about a local power source because it uses Power over Ethernet. Just make sure your network supports this feature. The box has a compact design, so you can easily hide it for a clean look. For maintenance, keep it in a clean and dry environment. If you notice any issues with power draw, check your network settings. Also, make sure to use the NetLinx Studio Tools for easy configuration and deployment. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your device control box.
