No native netlinx on the 2600s?

emdx71

Has netlinx support been dropped from the new encoder/decoder line? I don't see any options to turn or or set device numbers.. nothing in the product launch info mentioned it would be dropped, which is very frustrating if it has.

The N2600 series has no native NetLinx implementation, like all the newer products, e.g. the Precis Switchers or the CE series interface boxes.

For the N2xxx series encoders and decoders, Duet Modules are available

Or use the Open Direct Control API.

There should be a firmware update at some point that enables HControl (ie the new native NetLinx) which will enable direct access from a MU System. The HControl implementation should also not be encumbered with all the legacy API shortcomings (single connection, polling all exclusively, etc)

There is an HControl Duet module available that could be used alternatively to the dedicated Encoder and Decoder modules. The HControl module is fully configurable which could have advantages over the dedicated Encoder and Decoder modules if all that was needed was a small subset of the total functionality otherwise enabled.
