Port numbers change from device to device you are programming for.

If we are programming for a NI-2100 for example:

Serial devices have port 1-3
5001:1:0 to 5001:3:0

Relay (1-4) have port 4
5001:4:0

IR ports have 5-8
5001:5:0 to 5001:8:0

IO Port (1-4) have 9
5001:9:0


Since these port numbers varies from controller to controller, you have to look it up in the AMX PI (product information) on the specific controller or you can go the specific controller on AMX website, open "Hardware Reference Guide " and find "Port Assignments and Functionality". This section describe which portnumbers are used on the specific controller.

When in Netlinx Studio:
Tools>AMX PI

This utility has a quick guide for most everything AXM makes.

Many times it's silk-screened on the actual device too. Saves some time if you have your hands on the thing.
