What are the capabilities of current Netlinx controllers as far as replacing an old PHAST Landmark card frame and:

Integrating with other Landmark components such as the Landmark audio switcher, DMS keypads and also the now defunct Landmark/PHAST light switches. I believe the first two are no problem? but I do not know about the lighting.

I would also like to know what the part number is of what I assume is some type of Netlinx to Landmark (Echelon) converter that allows Netlinx to talk to Landmark components.

Whoa... Could of SWORN I responded to this already... Weird...


Anyway.. All Cuurent NI Series Processor support ICSNet, which is the new name for PHASTLink. Keypads, and Audio switcher plug right in and AMX has pre-written modules to runthem. Probobly will need to update the Firmware on the PHAST Devices.. But I think its all Software upload...

Just get the Processor that will accomodate all the source componets you need to control.... Let me know if you need any help witht he right specs....

Impaqt,

The big question is can the old PHAST lighting stuff be supported?

QQQ,

The web site has modules for the PLK-MLC and PLK-MWD. There are modules for all Phast audio components. Think of them as drivers. You compile them with the code. In most cases you talk to the driver and not the device itself. We never did Phast lighting, aways Lutron, so I can't speak to that. I have found that all AS8/16s, AMP8s, 2 button, and MSP8s will work with their current firmware. I had problems with DMSs earlyer than 5.0 or 5.01. I think the current is 5.16. To upgrade firmware you must replace a chip in side the DMS. The last job I did I updated 13. 12 worked and 1 had to be replaced.
