AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer

This Limited Warranty and Disclaimer extends only to products purchased directly from AMX or an AMX Authorized Partner which include AMX Dealers, Distributors, VIPs or other AMX authorized entity. AMX warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three (3) years from the date of purchase, with the following exceptions: Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch overlay components are warranted for a period of one (1) year. Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, and MX Series products are warranted for a period of one (1) year. AMX lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly connected to our lighting products, as long as the AMX lighting products are under warranty. AMX also guarantees the control of dimmable loads that are properly connected to our lighting products. The dimming performance or quality there of is not guaranteed, impart due to the random combinations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or transformers. AMX software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days. Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty. AMX AutoPatch Epica, Modula, Modula Series4, Modula CatPro Series and 8Y-3000 product models will be free of defects in materials and manufacture at the time of sale and will remain in good working order for a period of three (3) years following the date of the original sales invoice from AMX. The three-year warranty period will be extended to the life of the product (Limited Lifetime Warranty) if the warranty card is filled out by the dealer and/or end user and returned to AMX so that AMX receives it within thirty (30) days of the installation of equipment but no later than six (6) months from original AMX sales invoice date. The life of the product extends until five (5) years after AMX ceases manufacturing the product model. The Limited Lifetime Warranty applies to products in their original installation only. If a product is moved to a different installation, the Limited Lifetime Warranty will no longer apply, and the product warranty will instead be the three (3) year Limited Warranty.

All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is obtained from the AMX RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box. The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will be refused. AMX is not responsible for products returned without a valid RMA number. AMX is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform. This includes any lost profits, lost savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX is not liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Authorized Partner for a third party. This Limited Warranty does not apply to (a) any AMX product that has been modified, altered or repaired by an unauthorized agent or improperly transported, stored, installed, used, or maintained; (b) damage caused by acts of nature, including flood, erosion, or earthquake; (c) damage caused by a sustained low or high voltage situation or by a low or high voltage disturbance, including brownouts, sags, spikes, or power outages; or (d) damage caused by war, vandalism, theft, depletion, or obsolescence. This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort claim (including negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury. Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also have other rights that vary from state to state. The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full determination of rights. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS WARRANTY, AMX MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. AMX EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES NOT STATED IN THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED BY LAW ARE LIMITED TO THE TERMS OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY.

Although firmware upgrades can be conducted over a wireless Ethernet connection, transferring firmware KIT files over a direct USB connection is recommended, and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted. In addition to its speaker, the MVP-5200i also utilizes its mini-USB port as a connector for standard headphones or headsets. These headphones must use a mini-USB plug or adaptor in order to utilize this feature. While standard input/output headsets may be used in lieu of headphones, the headset may only be used for output. While you may receive sound from the headset, its microphone will not function. Always use the MVP-5200is microphone for receiving sound.

Basic Operation
The MVP-5200i is operated using both its integral touchscreen and the navigation wheel on the right side of the device. If the device has gone into its Standby Mode, a touch of the touchscreen or of the button wheel will reactivate it. The MVP-5200i devices power use allows up to 96 hours of use between rechargings of its internal battery, but its battery charge lasts up to 120 hours if the device goes into Shutdown Mode during that time. The device may be placed in its charging cradle at any time and operated within its cradle. The device will automatically go into Sleep Mode after fifteen minutes of inactivity, and this limit may be changed at any time. Any wireless Internet connection intended for the device will be reconnected within approximately twenty seconds after the device is placed in its charging cradle. Depending upon preselected settings, the device may be set to go into Active Mode as soon as it is placed in the cradle.

Introduction

Navigation Wheel
The MVP-5200i device uses a unique button wheel for all commands not directly involving the touchscreen. This wheel, known as a navigation wheel, is located in the upper right corner of the device (FIG. 4). Used with the touchscreen, the navigation wheel allows scrolling and adjusting by turning the wheel with a thumb or finger and then pressing down on one of the wheels compass points for up, down, left, and right. The wheel is sensitive enough to adjust levels with one-third of a rotation. The center of the navigation wheel also acts as a button in its own right: for example, pressing down directly upon the wheel center may be used for the equivalent of an "Enter" keystroke
Compass points The navigation wheel may be turned clockwise or counterclockwise Wheel center

FIG. 4 Navigation wheel detail

Press and hold the wheel center for three seconds to access the Setup pages (for more information, please see the Setup Pages section on page 41). Continue to hold the wheel center for another three seconds to access the Calibration page (page 75). If the MVP-5200i needs to be shut down or reset for any reason, press and hold down the wheel center button until the popup stating panel shutting down appears or the screen goes dark. Continuously holding down the center button down will cycle the MVP-5200i through the following steps:

1. Setup Pages 2. Calibration 3. Firmware shutdown 4. Hardware shutdown (automatically invoked if the devices firmware is unable to shut down the device.
Shut down the panel by holding the wheel center button only if the Setup pages are otherwise inaccessible. Regularly shutting down the device by this method can corrupt the Flash memory. When in its Standby Power Mode, the MVP-5200i may only be returned to its Awake state by touching the screen. The light at the center of the navigation wheel brightens and dims based on its source of power. It lights at full intensity when attached to a power source, such as the Table Charging Station (see the Table Charging Station section on page 9) or the Wall Charging Station (see the Wall Charging Station section on page 11), but lights at only half intensity when running on its internal battery. This allows the user to ascertain whether the device was properly installed in a charging station, as the brightness will visibly increase with a correct docking and will flash while charging. The flashing during recharging may be disabled via the devices on-board Setup page, as explained in the Setup Page section on page 41.

Installing the MVP-WCS-52

Since the Wall Charging Station is intended to be affixed to a wall or other permanent structure, care must be taken to ensure its proper installation to prevent potential damage to the MVP-5200i placed within. Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #1 Phillips screwdriver.

Installing the Plastic Back Box

The plastic Back Box has two knockouts at the top of the box and four (4) lockdown wings attached to the box with Phillips-head screws. For ease of installation, the interior of the box contains an "UP" arrow pointing to the knockouts. The Metal Rough-In Box does not have to be installed beforehand, but it offers an extra level of support. To install the Plastic Back Box:

1. Cut a hole into the wall or surface intended to hold the box. The outer lip of the box is sized 8.69 inches
(220.66mm) long and 6.0 inches (152.4mm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4" (6.4mm) smaller in each dimension (FIG. 10). Use the included MVP-WCS-52 Wall Charging Station Template (68-596601) as an aid for hole placement and measurement.

Make sure to measure the size of the intended hole before starting to cut it.

2. Select the knockout to be removed from the top of the box. The box has two knockouts, at the top left and
the top right. To assist with wiring, and to avoid mechanical stresses on the wire and the mechanism of the Wall-Mounted Charging Station, the top right knockout is preferred for use.

3. Run the power cable through the knockout into the box. Pull out about six inches (15.25cm) of cable into
the box to facilitate installation of the MVP-WCS-52.

4. Slide the plastic back box into the hole, being careful not to twist or pinch the cable, and set it flush with
the wall (FIG. 11). Make sure that all of the lockdown wings are folded into their slots before attempting to insert the box. For ease of installation, the inside of the box has the direction "UP" labeled for reference.
All lockdown wings folded flat during installation

Note Orientation Designator FIG. 11 Installation of plastic back box

5. Extend the wings on the sides of the box by tightening the screws inside the box.
Not all of the wings must be extended to lock the box in place, but extending a minimum of the top

and bottom wings is highly recommended.

Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall: this ensures that the

wing will tighten up against the inside of the wall. Make absolutely certain that the box is in its intended position. Once the box lockdown wings are extended within the boxs hole within the wall, removing the box will be extremely difficult without damaging the wall in the process. The maximum recommended torque to screw in the wings on the plastic back box is 105 IN-OZ [74 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the wing screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the wings or damage the plastic back box.

6. Prepare the captive wires for the 2-pin 3.55 mm mini-captive wire connector used for the MVP-WCS52s power supply: Preparing and connecting the captive wires requires the use of a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver.
Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector. Turn the screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. Do not over-torque the screws;

doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.

7. Secure the power cable to the device, using either of the two tie-wrap anchors included in the Installation
Kit at the top rear of the device (FIG. 12). Point the head of each tie wrap toward the center of the device.

Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box

The optional metal rough-in box (FG037-11) is 10 inches (25.40cm) wide at its widest dimension (wider than the bezel of the Wall Charging Station), and is only intended for pre construction installations (FIG. 14). The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Charging Stations plastic back box. The Metal Rough-In Box must be located behind 3/8" (0.95cm) to 3/4" (1.91cm) of wall/mounting surface material.

Install front surface of box flush with surface of wall stud

FIG. 14 Typical metal Rough-In Box Installation

The Metal Rough-in Box bears a wing on each corner which is intended to bridge gaps between studs and/or spacers. These wings may be bent carefully in order to fit a particular gap, but may not be so bent as to allow the box to hang in a vertical position. Once placed in the desired position, put at least one screw through each wing into the adjoining stud or spacer to secure it. The interior of the box contains a set of holes on either side, as well as top and bottom, for standard 1/4-inch screws. Use these holes to anchor the box to its adjoining studs or spacers. Ensure that the metal rough-in box is flush with the 2x4 studs. Any overhang will affect the installation of the covering sheetrock, as well as affect the placement of the Plastic Back Box. The box has two sets of knockouts in the top and bottom, one of the set for US wiring and one for international wiring. Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal rough-in box by the resident electrician before continuing the installation. After completing the installation of the metal rough-in box, install sheet rock or other wall material over the box, cut a hole matching the size of the inside diameter in the sheet rock, and clean out all dust before proceeding with the installation of the plastic back box.

Other MVP-WCS-52 installations

The Wall-Mounted Charging Station is designed to be installed in various different locations, such as into the face of a wooden podium or the top of a table. Depending upon the ability to wire it to a power source, WallMounted Charging Stations may be installed on vertical or horizontal surfaces composed of such materials as wood, brick, and glass. Installing a Wall-Mounted Charging Station into a solid wall thicker than a standard thickness of sheetrock is possible, but requires special preparation. If installing into a solid wall of concrete or rock, a recess must be chiselled or cut out to match the size of the device. The box is sized 8.375 inches (21.27cm) long and 5.75 inches (14.60cm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4" (0.64cm) smaller in these dimensions. To facilitate the full range of movement of the devices components, the recess must be at least 2.69 inches (6.83cm) deep. Ensure that the power cable has been installed in the wall and is accessible by the installer before chiseling out the recess.

Instead of using the lockdown wings to secure the Plastic Back Box, standard concrete screws may be inserted through the screw holes after removing the lockdown wings. However, drill the concrete screw holes into the wall before setting the screws into the box, as excessive torque applied to the screws will damage the box. To avoid this, the box may be installed with adhesive. Test an unobtrusive spot on the back of the box with a sample of the adhesive to check for any adverse reactions before installing the device.

Wireless Settings - Wireless Access Overview

DHCP
When choosing DHCP, a DHCP server must be accessible before the fields are populated. If the SSID (Network Name) and WEP fields have not previously been configured, the Wireless Settings page will not work until the panel is rebooted. MVP touch panels connect to a wireless network through their use of the pre-installed AMX 802.11g wireless interface card. This allows users to communicate with an Access Point (AP). The AP communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless interface card installed within the panel. This internal card transmits data using 802.11x signals at 2.4 GHz. For a more detailed explanation of the security and encryption technology, refer to the Appendix B: Wireless Technology section on page 180. For more information on utilizing the AMX Certificate Upload Utility in conjunction with the EAP security, refer to the AMX Certificate Upload Utility section on page 187.

Configuring Communication

To access the Site Survey Tool:

1. From the Protected Setup page, press the Wireless Settings button to open the Wireless Settings page. 2. Press the Site Survey button. This action launches the Wireless Site Survey page, which displays a listing
of all detected APs in the communication range of the internal card. The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new APs found to the list. Every scan cycle updates the signal strength fields. Access points are tracked by MAC Address. If the APs SSID is set as a blank, then N/A is displayed within the SSID field. If the APs SSID is not broadcast, it will not show up on the Wireless Networks screen. If a AP is displayed in the list is not detected for 10 scans in a row, it is then removed from the screen. In this way, a user can walk around a building and track access points as they move in and out of range.

3. Sort the information provided on this page by pressing on a column name. This moves the sorting arrow
to that column, where it may be toggled up or down. Up arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in an ascending order. Down arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a descending order. If the panel detects more than 10 APs, the Up/Down arrows at the far right side of the page become active (blue) and allow the user to scroll through the list of entries.

4. Select a desired Access Point by touching the corresponding row. The up arrow and down arrow will be
grayed out if ten or fewer access points are detected. If more are detected, then they will be enabled as appropriate so that the user can scroll through the list. Access points using channel 8 should never be used, as the MVP-5200i may receive too much interference from other devices in the area.

If active roaming between channels is necessary, make sure to enable the Active Roaming on Channels 1,6,11 field in the Wireless Settings page (page 59).

5. With the desired AP selected and highlighted, click the Connect button to be directed to the selected
security modes Settings page with the SSID field filled in. From there, either Cancel the operation or fill in any necessary information fields and then click Save. Selecting an Open, WEP, and WPA-PSK Access Point and then clicking Connect will open the corresponding Settings page. For any other security mode, clicking Connect will only return to the previous page without any information being entered. In an Open security mode, after selection and connection to a target AP, the SSID name of the selected AP is saved for the open security mode. In a Static WEP security mode, after selection and connection to a WEP Access Point, the user is then redirected back to the Static WEP security screen, where the SSID field is already filled out. The user is only required to enter in the remaining WEP key settings. A similar process occurs for WPA-PSK access points. For any other situation, the security mode switches back to the previous page and security and connection parameters must be entered in as usual.

Ethernet Over USB

The MVP-5200i device is the first G4 device to support an "Ethernet over USB" driver for panel downloads and firmware updates. This means that the device can connect to a host computer for updates through its Mini USB port instead of through a standard Ethernet port (FIG. 26).
Mini-USB Port

FIG. 26 USB Port on the MVP-5200i

Because of its Ethernet over USB capabilities, the MVP-5200i also follows a different procedure for downloading firmware than with other G4 devices. Firmware downloads require use of the USB Programming Cable (FG10-5965) and a computer running Windows XP.

Touch Panel Setup

To prepare the MVP-5200i for Ethernet for USB communication:

1. Turn on the MVP-5200i and wait for the device to finish booting up. 2. Insert the mini-USB end of the USB Programming Cable into the mini-USB port on the device. Insert the
other end into the appropriate USB port on the computer containing the files to be downloaded.

3. If the connection goes well, the Windows XP machine will detect the device as an unsupported USB
device. It then presents a dialog that prompts the user for a suitable driver (FIG. 27):

Configure a Virtual NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio

A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not actually connected to a physical NetLinx Master. In this situation, the PC takes on the functions of a Master via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This connection is made by either using the PCs Ethernet Address (via TCP/IP using a known PCs IP Address as the Master) or using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate directly to the panel. Before beginning:

1. If using the mini-USB connection, verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within
the System Settings page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. Changing the Master Connection type requires a reboot before the change takes effect.

Open
In the Wireless Security: Simple Mode popup window (FIG. 59), press the Security Type field to select Open. Open security does not utilize any encryption methodology, but requires an SSID (alpha-numeric) entry. This entry must match the Network Name (SSID) entry of the target AP so the panel knows what device it is using to communicate with the network. Open Settings
SSID (Service Set Identifier): Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP. The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on that network. An SSID is required by the AP before the panel is permitted to join the network. The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wireless network. If this field is left blank, the panel will attempt to connect to the first available AP. Save/Cancel: Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the previous page. Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.

WEP
In the Wireless Security: Simple Mode popup window (FIG. 59), press the Security Type field to select WEP. WEP security requires that both a target AP be identified and an encryption method be implemented prior to establishing communication. In addition to providing both Open and Shared Authentication capabilities, this page also supports Hexadecimal and ASCII keys. WEP Settings
WEP 64 / WEP 128: Cycles through the available encryption options: 64 or 128 Bit Key Size. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an 802.11 security protocol designed to provide wireless security equivalent to wired networks. WEP64 enables WEP encryption using a 64 Bit Key Size. All packets are transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key. WEP128 enables WEP encryption using a 128 Bit Key Size. All packets are transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key. If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the number of bits required for the WEP encryption mode selected. SSID: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP. The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on that network. An SSID is required by the AP before the panel is permitted to join the network. The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wireless network. If this field is left blank, the panel will attempt to connect to the first available AP. WEP Keys: This feature provides another level of security by selecting up to four WEP Keys. Push any of the four buttons to open an on-screen keyboard. Both ASCII and HEX keys are supported. Up to four keys can be configured for both. An ASCII key utilizes either 5 or 13 ASCII characters A HEX key utilizes either 10 or 26 Hexidecimal characters Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value.
Note: A 64-bit key will be 10 characters in length while a 128-bit key will be 26 characters in length. The length of the key entered determines the level of WEP encryption employed (64 or 128-bit). 128-bit keys may be used if supported by the internal wireless card.

Authentication:

Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open (broadcast publicly) or Shared (encrypted). An Open network allows connections from any client without authentication. A Shared network requires the client to submit a key which is shared by the network AP before it is given permission to associate with the network. In this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key. In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the network.

WPA-PSK Settings
In the Wireless Security: Simple Mode popup window (FIG. 59), press the Security Type field to select WPAPSK. WPA-PSK security is designed for environments where using WPA or WPA2 is desirable, but an 802.1x authentication server is not available. PSK connections are more secure than WEP and are simpler to configure, since they implement dynamic keys but share a key between the AP and the panel (client). Using WPA-PSK, the encryption on the AP could either be WPA or WPA2. The firmware in the panel will automatically connect to the AP using the correct encryption. The WPA encryption type is configured on the AP, not in the firmware. APs do not display WPA or WPA2 on their configuration screens: WPA is normally displayed as TKIP. WPA2 is normally displayed as AES CCMP. The following fields are required: SSID and Password/Pass Phrase. Enter the SSID of the AP. Enter a pass phrase with a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 63. The exact same pass phrase (including capitalization) must be entered in the access point. WPA-PSK Settings

EAP Security & Server Certificates - Overview

The following EAP types all support a server certificate: EAP-PEAP EAP-TTLS EAP-TLS All three of these certificate-using security methods are documented in the following sections. EAP Authentication goes a step beyond simply encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of credentials be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network (FIG. 61). Please note that no user intervention is necessary during this process, as it proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel.

LAN 802.1x (EAP over Wireless)

Client - Panel (supplicant)

FIG. 61 EAP security method in process

Authenticator (Access Point)

Authentication Server (RADIUS Server)

A server certificate file uses a certificate installed in a panel so that the RADIUS server can be validated before the panel tries to connect to it. The field name associated with this file is Certificate Authority. If a server certificate is used, it should first be downloaded into the panel and the Certificate Authority field should then be set to the name of that certificate file. No file path should be used for this setting, as all certificates are stored in a specific directory that the user cannot control or change. The most secure connection method uses a server certificate. If no server certificate will be used, this field should be left blank. If the field contains a file name, then a valid certificate file with the same file name must be previously installed on the panel. Otherwise the authentication process will fail.

EAP-LEAP
In the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode popup window (FIG. 60), press the Security Type field to select EAP-LEAP. EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length strings as inputs. An on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected. LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication information securely in a wireless network environment. LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates, and is therefore one of the least secure EAP security methods. However, it can be utilized successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords. EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network. EAP-LEAP
SSID: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP. The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on that network. An SSID is required by the AP before the panel is permitted to join the network. The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network. With EAP security, the SSID of the AP must be entered. If it is left blank, the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the detected AP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured. Identity: Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter an EAP Identity string (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server).
Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string which is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation. Typically, this is in the form of a username such as [email protected].

Password:

Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter the network password string specified for the user entered within the Identity field (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server)

EAP-FAST
In the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode popup window (FIG. 60), press the Security Type field to select EAP-FAST. EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) security was designed for wireless environments where security and ease of setup are equally desirable. EAP-FAST uses a certificate file, however it can be configured to download the certificate automatically the first time the panel attempts to authenticate itself. Automatic certificate downloading is convenient but slightly less secure, since its the certificate is transferred wirelessly and could theoretically be sniffed-out. EAP-FAST
SSID: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP. The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on that network. An SSID is required by the AP before the panel is permitted to join the network. The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network. With EAP security, the SSID of the AP must be entered. If it is left blank, the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the detected AP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured. Identity: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter an EAP Identity string (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server).
Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string which is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation. Typically, this is in the form of a username such as: [email protected].

Anonymous Identity:

Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter an IT provided alphanumeric string which (similar to the username) is used as the identity, but that does not represent a real user. This information is used as a fictitious name which might be seen by sniffer programs during the initial connection and setup process between the panel and the Radius server. In this way the real identity (username) is protected. Typically, this is in the form of a fictitious username, such as [email protected]

Password:

Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter the network password string specified for the user entered within the Identity field (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server)
Note: This information is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation.

Automatic PAC Provisioning:

This selection toggles PAC (Protected Access Credential) Provisioning Enabled (automatic) or Disabled (manual). If Enabled is selected, the following PAC File Location field is disabled, because the search for the PAC file is done automatically. If Disabled is selected, the user is required to manually locate a file containing the PAC shared secret credentials for use in authentication. In this case, the IT department must create a PAC file and then transfer it into the panel using the AMX Certificate Upload application.
Note: Even when automatic provisioning is enabled, the PAC certificate is only downloaded the first time that the panel connects to the RADIUS server. This file is then saved into the panel's file system and is then reused from then on. It is possible for the user to change a setting, such as a new Identity, that would invalidate this certificate. In that case, the panel must be forced to download a new PAC file. To do this, set Automatic PAC Provisioning to Disabled and then back to Enabled. This forces the firmware to delete the old file and request a new one.

EAP-PEAP
In the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode popup window (FIG. 60), press the Security Type field to select EAP-PEAP. PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed as a way to securely transmit authentication information, such as passwords, over a wireless network environment. PEAP uses only serverside public key certificates and therefore does not need a client (panel) certificate which makes the configuration and setup easier. There are two main versions of the PEAP protocol supported by panels DeviceScape Wireless Client: PEAPv0 PEAPv1 PEAP uses inner authentication mechanisms supported by the DeviceScape Wireless Client, the most common of which are: MSCHAPv2 with PEAPv0 GTC with PEAPv1 EAP-PEAP security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network. EAP-PEAP
SSID: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP. The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on that network. An SSID is required by the AP before the panel is permitted to join the network. The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network. With EAP security, the SSID of the AP must be entered. If it is left blank, the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the detected AP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured. Identity: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter an EAP Identity string (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server).
Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string, which is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation. Typically, this is in the form of a username such as [email protected].

EAP-TTLS
In the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode popup window (FIG. 60), press the Security Type field to select EAP-TTLS. TTLS (EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is an authentication method that does not use a client certificate to authenticate the panel. However. this method is more secure than PEAP because it does not broadcast the identity of the user. Setup is similar to PEAP, but differs in the following areas: An anonymous identity must be specified until the secure tunnel between the panel and the Radius server is setup to transfer the real identity of the user. There is no end-user ability to select from the different types of PEAP. Additional Inner Authentication choices are available to the end-user. EAP-TTLS security is designed for wireless environments where the Radius server needs to validate directly the identity of the client (panel) before allowing it access to the network. This validation is done by tunneling a connection through the AP and directly between the panel and the Radius server. Once the client is identified and then validated, the Radius server disconnects the tunnel and allows the panel to access the network directly via the target AP. EAP-TTLS
SSID: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP. The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on that network. An SSID is required by the AP before the panel is permitted to join the network. The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.

EAP-TLS
In the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode popup window (FIG. 60), press the Security Type field to select EAP-TLS. TLS (Transport Layer Security) was the original standard wireless LAN EAP authentication protocol. TLS requires additional work during the deployment phase, but provides additional security since even a compromised password is not enough to break into an EAP-TLS protected wireless network environment. EAP-TLS security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to securely transmit data over a wireless network by adding an additional level of security protocol via the use of a private key. EAP-TLS

Cache Settings Page

The options on the Cache Settings page (FIG. 65) allow setting and clearing of the flash memory cache, as well as viewing the status of the current cache settings. The G4 graphics engine caches images to decrease load time of previously viewed images. RAM caching is always enabled, and both static and dynamic images are stored in the RAM cache as they are viewed. The size of RAM cache is automatically configured to take into account available memory versus memory that may be needed by the panel later. As the RAM cache approaches its maximum size, the oldest items in the cache may be discarded to make room for newer items. If Flash caching is enabled, dynamic images that would have been discarded will actually be moved to Flash, since retrieving images on Flash is typically faster than across a network, although it is slower than using a RAM cache. Note that since static images are already stored on Flash, they are never moved to the Flash cache, so Flash caching applies only to dynamic images. Images in Flash cache are moved back to RAM cache the next time they are viewed. As the Flash cache approaches its maximum size, the least recently used items may be discarded to make room for new items.

Upgrading Firmware

Upgrading Firmware
Overview
For the purpose of panel downloads, the MVP-5200is download procedure is not compatible with other AMX panel devices. This is due to the unique configuration of the device. The first major change from other AMX devices is that the MVP-5200i uses dynamic Setup Pages for its displays. Instead of requiring a separate Setup Page project built within TPDesign 4, the MVP-5200i uses only a single set of Setup Pages for all of its supported resolutions. To enable a single Setup Page project to support all resolutions, this requires including images for the largest supported resolution with the Setup Page project and scaling the images to fit for lower resolutions. This modification would apply to state-level bitmaps and chameleon images; previously, image scaling has only applied to dynamic images. These features require a separate G4SupportFiles installation to be posted for download independently of the TPDesign4, NetLinx Studio, and Visual Architect applications.

Scale Images For Setup Pages

To provide the Setup Page designer with the ability to design pages at the target devices lowest supported resolution, TPDesign4 performs image scaling for both standard and chameleon images for button and page states. This functionality is not extended to icon images. The MVP-5200i comes already loaded with on-board firmware, which is upgradeable through the use of the latest version of NetLinx Studio. Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher Instruction Manual for more information on how to download firmware to a touch panel. Programming the MVP-5200i requires the use of the latest versions of NetLinx Studio and TPDesign 4, both available from www.amx.com. The MVP-5200i uses a native RNDIS USB driver for USB-over-Ethernet communication. When the device is connected to the downloading computer (see instructions below for more details), it creates a new LAN connection, and the user will need to supply a static IP address for this to be enabled. To enter a static IP address, the user must edit the properties of the TCP/IP interface of the connection itself. This driver is included in the installation of the latest version of NetLinx Studio, available from www.amx.com.

Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port

The MVP-5200i uses a 5-pin CC-USB (Type A) to Mini-B 5-Wire programming cable (FG10-5965) for programming, firmware updates, and touch panel file transfer between the PC and the target device. If a programming cable is not available, it may be purchased from www.amx.com. The Mini-USB port for the connector is located on the left side of the device as viewed from the front. Before beginning with this section, verify that the device is powered and the Type-A end of the USB connector is inserted and secure in the PCs USB port. The panel must be powered On before connecting the miniUSB connector to the panel. To guarantee that the upgrade is not interrupted by power loss, connecting the device to a power source, such as inserting it into a Table Charging Station, before beginning the upgrade is highly recommended. Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the USB Driver, will cause a failure in the USB driver installation.

1. Launch NetLinx Studio and select Settings > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu to
open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 71). If this is the first time the device needs to be configured, refer to the Configuring Modero Firmware via the USB Port section on page 186.

13. The OnLine Tree should now display the connection to the device. The Connection Status Icon on the
device may take up to five seconds to register the connection.

Step 3: Confirm and Upgrade the firmware via the USB port
Use the CC-USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-wire programming cable to provide communication between the miniUSB Program port on the touch panel and the PC. This method of communication is used to transfer firmware Kit files and TPD4 touch panel files.

A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active panel.

1. Verify that the direct USB connection (Type-A on the panel to mini-USB on the panel) is configured
properly, using the steps outlined in the previous two sections.

2. With the panel already configured for USB communication and the Virtual Master setup within NetLinx
Studio, refresh the Online Tree pane.

A Special Note for Network Interface Connections

Due to any USB connection to your PC being made through a Network Interface Connection (NIC), Windows will automatically make any new NIC connection the Primary connection. If this happens, the USB address of 172.16.0.2 will show up across the PCs network switches as the PCs source address. In some cases, network administrators will notice the NIC connection and reconfigure any PC that has connected to the MVP-5200i. Business, college, and government installations are the type of installations that would be most affected, and most home installations would not be affected. To prevent the NIC connection from becoming the primary connection:

1. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel to open the Control Panel window. 2. In the Control Panel window, click on the Network Connections icon to open the Network Connections

Programming

Programming
Overview
You can program the MVP-5200i, using the commands in this section, to perform a wide variety of operations using Send_Commands and variable text commands. A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the Device: Port: System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values and represents all Modero panels). Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero firmware, as well as the latest version of NetLinx Studio and TPD4.

Navigation Wheel Programming

The navigation wheel on the front of the MVP-5200i has multiple programming functions. The device has four buttons mounted underneath the wheel, assigned as, select, left, right, top, and bottom. These buttons are fully programmable. The wheel itself is also fully programmable. The wheel generated two pulses as it rotates. The phase difference between these pulses determines the direction of the rotation, and these periods can be a measure of its speed. A one-third rotation of this wheel causes a level change.

Navigation Wheel-Specific Commands

This command is used in NetLinx Studio and is case insensitive. Navigation Wheel-Specific Commands
^WLD Set the Sleep Blink LED behavior. Syntax:
^WLD-<LED NUM>,<ACTION><Brightness>

<LED NUM> indicates the channel code or ID number associated with an external LED to be controlled. In Systems with one external LED, this field should be ignored. <ACTION> indicates the expected behavior of the LED. For more information, please refer to the Navigation Wheel behavior in each Power Mode table on page 7. 0 LED OFF 1 LED ON 2 LED Resume Turns LED Off Turns LED On Restores operation of LED.

3 LOW BRIGHTNESS Sets the low brightness value for LED when operating on battery. 4 HIGH BRIGHTNESS Sets the high brightness value for LED when operating on external power or docked. <Brightness> Value ranges from 0 to 100. This field is ignored when action is 0,1,or2. Examples:
^WLD-0,1,0

Turns the Led On

^WLD-0,2,0

Resumes the operation of the LED.

Programming

Animated Transitions
Animated transitions are used to add motion and effects to the transition from one page to another on a panel. With existing panel firmware, page flip transitions occur with the new page immediately drawing over the existing page on the screen. With animated transitions, the old page is moved, faded, or overdrawn from the screen while the new page is drawn. These operations use the OpenGL hardware accelerator to ensure smooth transitions. Current panel firmware also supports animated buttons and popup page effects. This functionality is unchanged. In all cases, once the transition is triggered, the old page is frozen. For example, if the old page had an animated button, the motion on that button would stop as soon as the transition is triggered. If there is motion on the new page such as an animated button or even a popup effect, this motion will operate even while the overall page itself is in motion as part of the transition. Seven different classes of transitions are supported. Each transition class is described below. All of the transition classes, with the exception of Page Curl, are commanded transitions. Once the transition is triggered, it proceeds to completion. Page Curl can be interrupted and directed by the person touching the LCD as described below. Transition Classes
Slide The current page slides off of the screen and the new page slides in until it completely covers the screen and stops. There is no gap between pages, so if the page backgrounds match, this effect can give the appearance of moving around on a canvas that is larger than the physical screen size. This is the same as a slide transition, but with a bounce effect added when the new page reaches the edge of the screen across from where it originated. The existing page appears to move away from the viewer and off to the side. As soon as it is completely off the screen, the new page moves in and toward the viewer from the opposite edge of the screen. Both the old and new pages have a reflection on the bottom that makes it appear that the page is sliding along black reflective glass. The current page fades out while the new page fades in. The existing page appears to be peeled away like a sheet of paper, revealing the new page underneath. The new page has a shadow effect, and a faint reversed impression of the old page can be seen through the back of the paper being flipped. This transition can be interrupted by the user by holding a finger on the LCD and moving it around. The corner of the paper will follow the user's finger until released, causing the transition to proceed to completion. For the best effect, the button that triggers the page curl effect should be placed near the corner of the screen from which the page curl will originate. The new page moves over the existing page like a door with a hinge at the edge of the LCD. In addition, the new page is semi-transparent, allowing the old page to be seen through until the transition is finished, at which point the old page has faded away. This transition operates as above, except that the hinge point is at the center of the LCD rather than the edge.

Slide with bounce Black glass

Fade Page curl

Door with fade

Center door with fade

The origin of the transition is the point on the LCD where the motion originates. In most cases, these locations are the top, bottom, left and right of the screen. For example, a slide transition with a left origin will appear to slide in from the left towards the right of the screen. Slide, slide with bounce, door with fade and center door with fade can originate from the top, bottom, left and right sides of the screen. Black glass can originate from the left or right. Fade does not need an origin since the entire screen fades together. Page curl originates from the four corners of the screen: upper left, lower left, upper right and lower right. The transition time is the amount of time required for the transition to operate from start to finish. This value can be specified from 0.3 seconds to 3.0 seconds in tenths of a second. If not specified, the default is 1.5 seconds. Transition times are based on real world clock time and do not vary based on the speed of the processor or the frame rate at which the display system is running.

Programming

Since the transitions require OpenGL hardware acceleration, they are not seen by the user on a VNC connection. When a transition is triggered, the user will see a normal page flip to the new page on the VNC connection, while the animated transition occurs as expected on the panel. Transition Commands
^AFP Flips to a page with the specified page name using an animated transition. Flips to a page with the specified page name using an animated transition. If the page is active, do not redraw the current page. If the page name is blank, flips to the previous page.
Syntax: "'^AFP-<page name>,<animation>,<origin>,<time>'"

Animation is one of the following strings: slide, sldBounce, blkGlass, fade, pgCurl, doorFade, cntrDrFade If animation is blank or invalid, the page flip will occur without any animated transition occurring. Origin is a number representing one of the following values for where the animated transition originates on the screen: 1 - center (currently unused) 2 - top 3 - bottom 4 - left 5 - right 6 - lower left 7 - lower right 8 - upper left 9 - upper right If the origin is blank or invalid, the default is 5 (right). Time is the transition time in tenths of a second which can vary from 3 (0.3 seconds) to 30 (3.0 seconds). Values above or below these values will be clamped. If the time is blank, then the default is 1.5 seconds. Example:
"'^AFP-MAIN,slide,5,10'"

Will transition to a page named MAIN using a slide effect from the right to the left and taking 1 second to complete.

Touch Gesture Recognition

Gesturing refers to the act of moving a finger or stylus across the overlay and having the panel recognize and process this motion as a gesture. Once a gesture is detected, it is processed as another external button on the panel. This enables the user to design pages that translate gesture operations into any functionality available to external buttons. In addition, a gesture velocity is calculated and transmitted to the master along with the gesture type itself in a custom event message. Nothing will be processed if the external button associated with this gesture has no page flip operations programmed, is disabled, or has no values programmed for address, channel, level, string output or command output. The custom event, however, is always transmitted. The following seven gesture types are supported:

1. Swipe up 2. Swipe down 3. Swipe right 4. Swipe left 5. Clockwise circle 6. Counter-clockwise circle 7. Double-Tap Gesture Velocity
A gesture velocity is calculated to represent the speed of the gesture. This is done by measuring the time from when the user first presses the screen until the user releases. The following simplified velocities are supported and transferred to the master in the custom event message:

1. Fast 2. Normal 3. Slow

A precise velocity is sent in the custom event message which represents the velocity in terms of pixels per second for slides and circles. For a double tap, this value is the total time in milliseconds from the first press to the second release.

Gesture Prioritization
It is important to prioritize the operation of the presses, moves and releases of the user to avoid confusion over what the user intended. The following process is used to determine what the user meant whenever a gesture operation is defined globally or for this page. Gesture Prioritization
The user presses outside of a button or slider and moves before releasing. The user presses inside of a slider and moves before releasing. The user presses inside of a joystick button and moves before releasing. The firmware will always try to recognize a gesture as long as the user moves at least 20 pixels before the release occurs. This will always be processed as a slider operation and no attempt will be made to recognize a gesture. This will always be processed as a joystick operation and no attempt will be made to recognize a gesture.

The user moves a movable popup page. This will always be processed as a popup page move and not a gesture. The user presses on a button and then moves. In this case, the press will not be sent for the first 0.15 second. If the user has moved at least 60 pixels by this time, then a button press/release will not be processed, but this will be processed as a gesture. At 0.15 second, the button press is processed and once the user releases, the release is processed and no gesture recognition is attempted. To be clear, it is not necessary for the user to move off of a button to be considered a gesture, but to move at least 60 pixels in that first 0.15 of a second. This will not be recognized as a gesture. This would be considered two quick press/release operations on the button or slider.

The user double taps on a button or slider.

Gesture VNC/Mouse Support

Gestures are recognized whether or not the user is using a finger or stylus on the panel's screen overlay, a mouse on a VNC connection, or a mouse connected to the local USB port on the panel.

Gesture Custom Event

Whenever a gesture is recognized and processed a custom event is also sent to the master. The following values describe this event:
CUSTOM_EVENT ADDRESS is 1 CUSTOM_EVENT EVENTID is 600 Custom.Value1 is the gesture number Custom.Value2 is the simplified gesture velocity Custom.Value3 is the precise gesture velocity

Gesture numbers are:

1. Swipe up 2. Swipe down 3. Swipe right 4. Swipe left 5. Clockwise circle 6. Counter-clockwise circle 7. Double-Tap
Simplified gesture velocity values are:

1. Fast 2. Normal 3. Slow

Precise gesture velocity:

1. For slides and circles this represents pixels per second. 2. For double taps, this is the time in milliseconds from the first press to the second release. Enabling or Disabling the Gesture Custom Event
By default, a gesture custom event is sent to the master each time that a gesture is recognized. A send command has been added to allow disabling and re-enabling of this capability. The value sent is not retained and gesture custom events will be enabled each time the panel restarts.

Gesture Custom Event Commands

^GCE Sets whether or not the panel sends a custom event to the master whenever a gesture is detected. For panels supporting gestures. Sets whether or not the panel sends a custom event to the master whenever a gesture is detected. Syntax:
"'^GCE-ON'" or "'^GCE-OFF'"

NOTE: This setting is not retained and the default is to always send the events. To enable sending the event, the value after the dash can be "on", "ON", or 1. Anything else will disable sending custom events.

"^" Button Commands

These Button Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive. All commands that begin with "^" have the capability of assigning a variable text address range and button state range. A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the Device: Port: System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values). Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single command. Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single command. "." Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the "&" character is used for the 'And' notation. "^" Button Commands

Parameter Embedded Code Description

refresh

%R <refresh 1-65535>

The number of seconds between refreshes in which the resource is downloaded again. Refreshing a resource causes the button displaying that resource to refresh also. The default value is 0 (only download the resource once). Set the newest file. A value of 1 means that only the most recent file matching the pattern is downloaded.
Note: The 'newest file' option only applies to FTP Dynamic Images, and only those that have pattern matching as part of their filename. Neither 'newest file' nor pattern matching apply to HTTP Dynamic Images. When set, the panel will first pull a list of files matching the given pattern from the specified FTP server and path. The timestamps of the items in the list will be compared, with the newest one being displayed on the panel. This is useful for source devices that place a uniquely named still image in a folder at constant intervals, allowing the panel always to display the most recent one.

newest

%N <0-1>

preserve

%V <0-1>

Set the value of the preserve flag. Default is 0. Currently preserve has no function.

Escape Sequences
The ^RAF and ^RMF commands support the replacement of any special escape sequences in the filename (specified by the %F embedded code) with the corresponding data obtained from the system as outlined in the table below: Escape Sequences

Battery Life and Replacement

Overview
The battery powering the MVP-5200i is designed for upwards of 300 deep discharge rechargings. Regular shallow rechargings will extensively increase expected battery life, and the device should be stored in either the Table Charging Station or the Wall Charging Station when not in use to keep it at an optimum charge. The battery has reached its effective end of life after it can no longer hold more than a 70 percent charge. Lithium-Polymer batteries are small, compact, and ideal for providing long lasting power. However, they must be used and charged properly. Improper use can result in serious injury, fire, or death. Please read and understand the following warnings. If you have any questions or concerns with this product, please contact your AMX sales representative. This installation requires opening the case of the MVP-5200i and working within its internal components. If you are unwilling or unable to replace the battery, please return the device to AMX for battery replacement. WARNING: Misuse of a Lithium-Polymer battery may result in overheating, fire, or explosion! To Avoid Injury, Never:
Use near open flame or other heat source Puncture or disassemble battery Damage external contacts Dispose of battery in fire, water, or container with temperature above 100C (212F).

Always:
Use only with AMX approved battery charger Store in dry place with temperature between 0 C (32 F) and 40 C (104 F)

Care must be taken to install the battery without damaging the battery.

IMPORTANT NOTES!
Lithium-Polymer battery technology degrades in capacity over time, unless the battery is periodically charged and discharged. AMX recommends installing all Lithium-Polymer batteries in functional AMX products within 6 months of receipt.

Please dispose of all used batteries in a proper fashion as required by municipal or federal regulations.

Prior to battery removal, run the device until the battery is completely discharged.

Power Management
Since the MVP-5200i is a battery-powered handheld device, power management is a necessary concern. Under active use, the charge on the integral Lithium-Polymer battery can last for as long as five days. However, to maximize usability and minimize the chances of the device becoming completely discharged at a critical moment, the MVP-5200i should be kept in its charging cradle or wall station when not in use. The MVP-5200i operates on three distinct power modes: Awake - This is the normal power mode of the panel during operation. In this mode, all necessary modules are powered up and their respective clocks are being driven appropriately. The device remains online with the Netlinx Master and continues to appear in the online tree of Netlinx Studio. Sleep - This mode of operation can be selected through the Setup Pages and only controls the backlight. In this case, the unit remains on all the time, and only the backlight will be turned off after the user-selectable time of inactivity has elapsed. The device remains online with the Netlinx Master and continues to be shown in the online tree of Netlinx Studio. The unit shall transfer to the Awake mode after it detects a touch on the touchscreen or navigation wheel. This mode uses 80 percent of the power required for the Awake mode. Stand By - In this mode, the device is completely shut down, with only wakeup systems powered to detect incoming commands or touch panel contact. Shutdown - The system enters this mode after a user selectable amount of inactivity time has elapsed or if the battery level falls below10 percent of its full charge. This is the absolute lowest mode of operation, during which power to all peripherals and components is turned off. It is not online with the NetLinx Master and will not appear in NetLinx Studio. The system remains in this mode until it is rebooted. In the latter case, the panel has to be placed in a Table Charging Station in order for it to be operational.

Proper Battery Maintenance

To insure maximum performance and reliability of your AMX Wireless Touch Panel, please insure that a full charge is performed every 3 months if not used regularly. If a battery is left uncharged beyond this time frame, it may result in premature battery lifespan degradation and will require replacement.

Appendix A: Text Formatting

Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks
Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These codes are entered into the text field along with any other text. The following is a code list used for bargraphs: Bargraph Text Code Inputs
Code Bargraph Multi-State Bargraph

$P

Display the current percentage of the bargraph (derived from the Adjusted Level Value as it falls between the Range Values) Raw Level Value Range Low Value Range High Value N/A

Display the current percentage of the bargraph (derived from the Adjusted Level Value as it falls between the Range Values) Raw Level Value Range Low Value Range High Value Current State

$V $L $H $S $A $R $$

Adjusted Level Value (Range Low Value Adjusted Level Value (Range Low Value subtracted from the Raw Level Value) subtracted from the Raw Level Value) Low Range subtracted from the High Range Dollar sign Low Range subtracted from the High Range Dollar sign

By changing the text on a button (via a VT command), you can modify the codes on a button. When one of the Text Formatting Codes is encountered by the firmware, it is replaced with the correct value. These values are derived from the following operations: Formatting Code Operations

$P $V $L $H $S $A $R

(Current Value - Range Low Value / Range High Value - Range Low Value) x 100 Current Level Value Range Low Value Range High Value Current State (if regular bargraph then resolves to nothing) Current Value - Range Low Value Range High Value - Range Low Value

Given a current raw level value of 532, a range low value of 500, and a high range value of 600, the following text formatting codes would yield the following strings as shown in the table below: Example

Appendix A: Text Formatting

Text Area Input Masking

Text Area Input Masking may be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters; with input masking, this limit could be changed to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits. A possible use for this feature is to enter information into form fields. The purpose of this feature is to:
Force the use of correct type of characters (i.e. numbers vs. characters) Limit the number of characters in a text area Suggest proper format with fixed characters Right to Left Required or Optional Change/Force a Case Create multiple logical fields Specify range of characters/number for each field

With this feature, it is not necessary to:

Limit the user to a choice of selections Handle complex input tasks such as names, days of the week, or month by name Perform complex validation such as Subnet Mask validation

Input mask character types

These character types define what information is allowed to be entered in any specific instance. The following table lists what characters in an input mask will define what characters are allowed in any given position. Character Types
Character Masking Rule

0 9 # L ? A a & C

Digit (0 to 9, entry required, plus [+] and minus [-] signs not allowed) Digit or space (entry not required, plus and minus signs not allowed) Digit or space (entry not required; plus and minus signs allowed) Letter (A to Z, entry required) Letter (A to Z, entry optional) Letter or digit (entry required) Letter or digit (entry optional) Any character or a space (entry required) Any character or a space (entry optional)

The number of the above characters used determines the length of the input masking box. Example: 0000 requires an entry, requires digits to be used, and allows only 4 characters to be entered/used. Refer to the following SEND_COMMANDs for more detailed information:
^BIM - Sets the input mask for the specified addresses. (see the ^BIM section on page 112). ^BMF subcommand %MK - sets the input mask of a text area (see the ^BMF section on page 114).

Input Mask Ranges

These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY. Input Mask Ranges
Character Meaning

[ ] |

An example from the above table:

[0|255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255. Input mask next field characters
These characters allow you to specify a list of characters that cause the keyboard to move the focus to the next field when pressed, instead of inserting the text into the text area. Input Mask Next Field Char

An example from the above table:

{.} or {:} or {.:} Proceed to the next text area input box after a user hits any of these keys. Input mask operations
Input Mask Operators change the behavior of the field in the following way: Input Mask Operators
Character Meaning

< > ^

Forces all characters to be converted to lowercase Forces all characters to be converted to uppercase Sets the overflow flag for this field

Input mask literals

To define a literal character, enter any character, other than those shown in the above table (including spaces, and symbols). A back-slash ('\') causes the character that follows it to be displayed as the literal character. For example, \A is displayed just as the letter A. To define one of the following characters as a literal character, precede that character with a back-slash. Text entry operation using Input Masks. A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is applied, the behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's requirement. When working with masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any cursor movement, including cursor, backspace, and delete keys. When operating with a mask, the mask should be displayed with placeholders. The "-" character should display where you should enter a character. The arrow keys will move between the "-" characters and allow you to replace them. The text entry code operates as if it is in the overwrite mode. If the cursor is positioned on a character already entered and you type in a new (and valid) character, the new character replaces the old character. There is no shifting of characters. When working with ranges specified by the [] mask, the keyboard allows you to enter a number between the values listed in the ranges. If a user enters a value that is larger than the maximum, the maximum number of right-most characters is used to create a new, acceptable value. Example 1: If you type "125" into a field accepting 0-100, then the values displayed will be "1", "12", "25". Example 2: If the max for the field was 20, then the values displayed will be "1", "12", "5".

163

Appendix A: Text Formatting

When data overflows from a numerical field, the overflow value is added to the previous field on the chain if the overflow character was specified. In the above example, if the overflow flag was set, the first example will place the "1" into the previous logical field and the second example will place "12" in the previous logical field. If the overflow field already contains a value, the new value will be inserted to the right of the current characters and the overflow field will be evaluated. Overflow continues to work until a field with no overflow value is set or no more fields remain (i.e. reached first field). If a character is typed and that character appears in the Next Field list, the keyboard should move the focus to the next field. For example, when entering time, a ":" is used as a next field character. If you enter "1:2", the 1 is entered in the current field (hours) and then the focus is moved to the next field and 2 is entered in that field. When entering time in a 12-hour format, entry of AM and PM is required. Instead of adding AM/PM to the input mask specification, the AM/PM should be handled within the NetLinx code. This allows a programmer to show/hide and provide discrete feedback for AM and PM.

Input mask output examples

The following are some common input masking examples: Output Examples

URL Resources
A URL can be broken into several parts. For example, with the URL http://www.amx.com/company-infohome.asp, this URL indicates that the protocol in use is http (HyperText Transport Protocol) and that the information resides on a host machine named www.amx.com. The image on that host machine is given an assignment (by the program) name of company-info-home.asp (Active Server Page). The exact meaning of this name on the host machine is both protocol dependent and host dependent. The information normally resides in a file, but it could be generated dynamically. This component of the URL is called the file component, even though the information is not necessarily in a file. A URL can optionally specify a port, which is the port number to which the TCP/IP connection is made on the remote host machine. If the port is not specified, the default port for the protocol is used instead. For example, the default port for http is 80. An alternative port could be specified as: http://www.amx.com:8080/companyinfo-home.asp.

Any legal HTTP syntax can be used.

Special Escape Sequences

The system has only a limited knowledge of URL formats, as it transparently passes the URL information onto the server for translation. A user can then pass any parameters to the server side programs such as CGI scripts or active server pages. However; the system will parse the URL looking for special escape codes. When it finds an escape code, it replaces that code with a particular piece of panel, button, or state information. For example, "http://www.amx.com/img.asp?device=$DV" would become http://www.amx.com/ img.asp?device=10001.

Complex Script Support

In many cases, a user needs a touch panel user interface that utilizes a font applicable to the area for which its use is intended, and to accomplish this without needing to resort to images of properly formed text. This includes proper rendering of right-to-left languages such as, but not limited to, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Devangari (FIG. 85). Both the MVP-5200i and TPDesign4 (v3.1 or higher) support complex script languages, to the extent that the True Type font currently selected for that state supports the language in question. TPDesign4 allows the user to type the desired text into a project, view it in G4Panel Preview, and download it to the panel.

FIG. 85 Warning page in Arabic

Most languages can be entered into the state property field in TPDesign4 via the Windows language bar. In some cases, the user may need correct rendering of mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text, and may display both of these together in the same page (FIG. 86). Text edit boxes only operate left-to-right.

FIG. 86 Mixed left-to-right and right-to-left text

Some languages, notably Hindi and Tamil, are not supported by coded pages. These languages will display ??? for characters entered via the language bar, even if the selected font supports the language. Text in these languages can still be pasted via the clipboard or via the Alt-<Scan Code> method.

Appendix B: Wireless Technology

Appendix B: Wireless Technology

Overview of Wireless Technology
802.11b/2.4 GHz and 802.11a/5 GHz are the two major WLAN standards and both operate using

radio frequency (RF) technology. Together the two standards are together called Wi-Fi and operate in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. The 802.11b specification was the first to be finalized and reach the marketplace. The actual throughput obtained from an 802.11b network will typically be between 4 and 5 Mbps. Because of the higher frequency (and thus shorter wavelength) that they use, 802.11a signals have a much tougher time penetrating solid objects like walls, floors, and ceilings. As a result, the price for 802.11a's higher speed is not only a shorter range but also a weaker and less consistent signal. 802.11g provides increased bandwidth at 54 Mbps. As part of the IEEE 802.11g specification, when throughput cannot be maintained, this card will automatically switch algorithms in order to maintain the highest spread possible at a given distance. In addition, 802.11g can also step down to utilize 802.11b algorithms and also maintain a connection at longer distances. IP Routing is a behavior of the wireless routing is largely dependent on the wired network interface. Although the panel can be connected to two networks simultaneously, it may only have one gateway. If the wired network was successfully set up and a gateway was obtained; then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wired network. In the event that the wired network was not configured, then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wireless network. The wired network connection always takes priority. Example: Imagine a panel connected to the two networks A & B. A is the wired network and B is the wireless network. If the Master controller is on either of these networks, then it will be reached. However if the Master controller is on a different network, C, then the gateway determines which network interface (wired or wireless) will be used. Access Points (APs) are the cornerstone of any wireless network. A AP acts as a bridge between a wired and wireless network. It aggregates the traffic from all wireless clients and forwards it down the network to the switch or router. One AP may be all that is necessary for a standard installation. However, more APs may be needed, depending on the size of the installation, its layout, and its construction. Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Security is a method by which WLANs protect wireless data streams. A data stream encrypted with WEP can still be intercepted or eavesdropped upon, but the encryption makes the data unintelligible to the interloper. The strength of WEP is measured by the length of the key used to encrypt the data. The longer the key, the harder it is to crack. 802.11b implementations provided 64-bit and 128-bit WEP keys. This is known respectively as 64bit and 128-bit WEP encryption. 64-bit is generally not regarded as adequate security protection. Both key lengths are supported by the Modero product line. Whichever level of WEP used, using identical settings is crucial (CASE SENSITIVE)--the key length, and the key itself-- on all devices. Only devices with common WEP settings will be able to communicate. Similarly, if one device has WEP enabled and another does no, they will not be able to talk to each other. Although the calculations required to encrypt data with WEP can impact the performance of your wireless network, this impact is generally only seen when running benchmarks, and is not large enough to be noticeable in the course of normal network usage.

Appendix B: Wireless Technology

Terminology
802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard that is built on the Internet standard EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x is a standard for passing EAP messages over either a wired or wireless LAN. Additionally, 802.1x is also responsible for communicating the method with which APs and wireless users can share and change encryption keys. This continuous key change helps resolve any major security vulnerabilities native to WEP.

AES
Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, is a cipher currently approved by the NSA to protect US Government documents classified as Top Secret. The AES cipher is the first cipher protecting Top Secret information available to the general public.

CERTIFICATES (CA)
A certificate can have many forms, but at the most basic level, a certificate is an identity combined with a public key, and then signed by a certification authority. The certificate authority (CA) is a trusted external third party which "signs" or validates the certificate. When a certificate has been signed, it gains some cryptographic properties. AMX supports the following security certificates within three different formats: PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12) Typical certificate information can include the following items: Certificate Issue Date Extensions Issuer Public Key Serial Number Signature Algorithm User Version

MIC
Short for Message Integrity Check, this prevents forged packets from being sent. Through WEP, it was possible to alter a packet whose content was known even if it had not been decrypted. TKIP Short for Temporal Key Integration, this is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs. TKIP provides a per-packet key mixing, message integrity check and re-keying mechanism, thus ensuring that every data packet is sent with its own unique encryption key. Key mixing increases the complexity of decoding the keys by giving the hacker much less data that has been encrypted using any one key.

WEP
Short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, WEP is a scheme used to secure wireless networks (Wi-Fi). A wireless network broadcasts messages using radio which are particularly susceptible to hacker attacks. WEP was intended to provide the confidentiality and security comparable to that of a traditional wired network. As a result of identified weaknesses in this scheme, WEP was superseded by Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and then by the full IEEE 802.11i standard (also known as WPA2).

WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of system used to secure wireless (Wi-Fi) computer networks. It was created in response to several serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous WEP system. WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared (WPA2). WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation Access Points.

MVP-5200i Modero ViewPoint Touch Panel with Intercom, 5.2 and 5

Appendix B: Wireless Technology

To resolve problems with WEP, the Wi-Fi Alliance released WPA (FIG. 87), which integrated 802.1x, TKIP and MIC. Within the WPA specifications, the RC4 cipher engine was maintained from WEP. RC4 is widely used in SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to protect internet traffic.

FIG. 87 WPA Overview

WPA2
Also know as IEEE 802.11i, this is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks. The 802.11i scheme makes use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher; WEP and WPA use the RC4 stream cipher. The 802.11i architecture contains the following components: 802.1X for authentication (entailing the use of EAP and an authentication server), RSN for keeping track of associations, and AES-based CCMP to provide confidentiality, integrity and origin authentication. WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both provide good security, with two significant issues: either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP. WEP is usually presented as the first security choice in most installation instructions. in the "Personal" mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a passphrase is required that, for full security, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character passwords users are taught to employ. With the RC4 released to the general public, the IEEE implemented the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) as the cipher engine for 802.11i, which the Wi-Fi Alliance has branded as WPA2 (FIG. 88).

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both a wired and wireless network environment. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a RADIUS server. Although over 40 different EAP methods are currently defined, the current internal Modero 802.11g wireless card and accompanying firmware only support the following EAP methods (listed from simplest to most complex): EAP-LEAP (Cisco Light EAP) EAP-FAST (Cisco Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling, a.k.a. LEAPv2) The following use certificates: EAP-PEAP (Protected EAP) EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security) EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security) EAP requires the use of an 802.1x authentication server (also known as a RADIUS server). Sophisticated Access Points (such as Cisco) can use a built-in RADIUS server. The most common RADIUS servers used in wireless networks today are: Microsoft Sever 2003 Juniper Odyssey (once called Funk Odyssey) Meetinghouse AEGIS Server DeviceScape RADIUS Server Cisco Secure ACS

EAP Communication Overview

EAP Authentication goes a step beyond just encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of credentials be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network (FIG. 89). Below is a description of this process. It is important to note that no user intervention is necessary during this process. It proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel.

LAN 802.1x (EAP Over Wireless)

Client - Panel (Supplicant)

Authenticator (Access Point)

Authentication Server (RADIUS Server)

FIG. 89 EAP security method in process

1. The client (panel) establishes a wireless connection with the AP specified by the SSID. 2. The AP opens up a tunnel between itself and the RADIUS server configured via the access point. This
tunnel means that packets can flow between the panel and the RADIUS server but nowhere else. The network is protected until authentication of the client (panel) is complete and the ID of the client is verified.

3. The AP (Authenticator) sends an "EAP-Request/Identity" message to the panel as soon as the wireless
connection becomes active.

4. The panel then sends a "EAP-Response/Identity" message through the AP to the RADIUS server
providing its identity and specifying which EAP type it wants to use. If the server does not support the EAP type, then it sends a failure message back to the AP which will then disconnect the panel. As an example, EAP-FAST is only supported by the Cisco server.

5. If the EAP type is supported, the server then sends a message back to the client (panel) indicating what
information it needs. This can be as simple as a username (Identity) and password or as complex as multiple CA certificates.

6. The panel then responds with the requested information. If everything matches, and the panel provides
the proper credentials, the RADIUS server then sends a success message to the access point instructing it to allow the panel to communicate with other devices on the network. At this point, the AP completes the process for allowing LAN Access to the panel (possibly a restricted access based on attributes that came back from the RADIUS server). As an example, the AP might switch the panel to a particular VLAN or install a set of farewell rules.

AMX Certificate Upload Utility

The Certificate Upload utility gives you the ability to compile a list of target touch panels, select a pre-obtained certificate (uniquely identifying the panel), and then upload that file to the selected panel. This application must be run from a local machine and should not be used from a remote network location. This application ensures that a unique certificate is securely uploaded to a specific touch panel. Currently, the target panels must be capable of supporting the WPA-PSK and EAP-XXX wireless security formats. The Certificate Upload utility supports the following capabilities: Ability to browse both a local and network drive to find a desired certificate file. Ability to create a list of target AMX G4 touch panels based on IP Addresses. Ability to display the IP Address of the local computer hosting the application. Ability to load a previously created list of target touch panels. Ability to save the current list of target Modero panel as a file. Ability to track the progress of the certificate upload by noting the current data size being transmitted and any associated error messages (if any). The Certificate Upload Utility recognizes the following certificate file types: CER (Certificate File) DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) PFX (Normal Windows generated certificate) PVK (Private Key file)

Uploading a Certificate File

1. Install the latest AMX USB LAN LINK driver onto your computer by installing the latest versions of
either TPDesign4 or NetLinx Studio2. This USB driver prepares your computer for proper communication with the MVP-5200i.

2.

Access the target panel's Protected Setup firmware page and configure the USB communication parameters. Utility. Familiarize yourself with the Certificate Utility User Interface options.

3. With the panel successfully communicating with the target computer, launch the Certificate Upload

4. Locate your certificate file by using the Browse button and navigating to the desired file type. 5. Use the drop-down arrow in the Local Address field to select direct communication through the USB port. 6. Select the 10.XX.XX.1 IP Address that corresponds to the virtual IP Address assigned to the USB
connection port on the computer.

7. Navigate to the Add IP Address field at the bottom-right of the interface and enter a value of 1 greater than
the virtual USB IP Address. For example: If the virtual USB IP Address is 10.0.0.1, then add an address for the directly connected panel of 10.0.0.2. This is one greater than the USB address value detected by the utility. A certificate may be sent to ONLY ONE directly connected panel via USB. Use the Ethernet ports IP Address to send a server certificate to multiple panel targets.

8. Select the IP Address which corresponds to the local computer's Ethernet address. 9. Navigate to the Add IP Address field (bottom-right of the interface) and enter the IP Addresses of the
various target touch panels.

10. Click the Add button to complete the entry and add the new IP Address to the listing of available device
IP Addresses. Repeat this process for all subsequent device IP Addresses.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting

Appendix C: Troubleshooting
Overview
This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common operation of a Modero touch panel.

Panel Doesnt Respond To Touches

Symptom: The device either does not respond to touches on the touch screen or does not register the touch as being in the correct area of the screen. If the screen is off: The device may be in Standby Mode. Press and hold the display screen to wake up the panel. The device may be in Shutdown Mode. Press and hold the top and bottom of the navigation wheel until the device turns on. The device battery may be drained. Place the device into a Table Charging Station or a Wall Charging Station, or connect it to its included power source to recharge the battery. If the screen is on: The protective laminate coating may still be on the LCD. Verify that the coating on the LCD is removed before beginning any calibration process. The protective cover makes calibration difficult because the device cannot calibrate on specific crosshairs when the sheet is pressing on the whole LCD. The previous calibration may be off. Reset the device calibration, as explained in the Calibrate Page section on page 75.

Battery Will Not Hold Or Take A Charge

Symptom: The battery will not hold or take a charge and shows no indication of charging, either on the bargraphs or in the Battery Setup page. To keep the battery from being damaged from operating at too low a level, the firmware places it into a protected state. The panel must have the latest firmware. If it doesnt, the firmware can be found at www.amx.com Dealers/ Tech Center > Firmware Files.> Modero.

1. Load the firmware into the panel, using NetLinx Studio. 2. After loading the firmware, power cycle the MVP (this is a complete power cycle, not a Reboot). The
panel will now show the current firmware version within the Setup > Panel Information page.

3. Connect the power supply to the panel. You will see 2 warning messages on the display.
The first one warns that the battery is low and must be charged. The second warning tells you that the battery is in a protected mode.

4. Wait a few minutes and then check the Battery Settings page on the device to see any charging activity on
the bar graphs. (For more information, refer to the Power Management Page section on page 50.) The "Sensor" device in the Online Tree tab below the MVP panel should show v1.24 or higher after the upgrade, as shown in FIG. 90:

Appendix C: Troubleshooting

MVP-5200i Isnt Appearing In The Online Tree Tab 1. Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx Project Navigator window and the System
Settings page on the device.

2. Verify the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods entered into the Master Connection section
of the System Settings page.

MVP Cant Obtain a DHCP Address

In requesting a DHCP Address, the DHCP Server can take up to a few minutes to provide the address.

1. Verify that the AP is configured to match the MVP panel Network Name (SSID) field, Encryption,
Default Key, and Current Key string.

2. In NetLinx Studio, select Diagnostics > Network Address and verify the System number. 3. If the IP Address field is still empty, give the device a few minutes to negotiate a DHCP Address and try
again.

My WEP Doesnt Seem To Be Working

WEP will not work unless the same default key is set on both the panel and the Access Point (AP). For example, if the access point was set to default WEP key 4 (which was 01:02:03:04:05), the Moderos Default WEP key 4 must be set to 01:02:03:04:05.

NetLinx Studio Only Detects One Of My Connected Masters

Each Master is given a Device Address of 00000. Only one Master can be assigned to a particular System number. If you want to work with multiple Masters, open different instances of NetLinx Studio and assign each Master its own System value. Example: A site has an NXC-ME260/64 and an NI-4000. In order to work with both units. The ME260 can be assigned System #1 and the NI-4000 can then be assigned System #2 using two open sessions of NetLinx Studio v 2.x.

Cant Connect To a NetLinx Master

Symptom: I cant seem to connect to a NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio 2. Select Settings > Master Comm Settings > Communication Settings > Settings (for TCP/IP), and uncheck the "Automatically Ping the Master Controller to ensure availability". The pinging is to determine if the Master is available and to reply with a connection failure instantly if it is not. Without using the ping feature, a connection may still be attempted, but a failure will take longer to be recognized. If you are trying to connect to a Master controller that is behind a firewall, you may have to uncheck this option. Most firewalls will not allow ping requests to pass through for security reasons. When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the program will first try to ping the controller before attempting a connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the device is off-line, or if the TCP/IP address that was entered was incorrect. If you decide not to ping for availability and the controller is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the program will try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.

Only One Modero Panel In My System Shows Up

Symptom: I have more than one Modero panel connected to my System Master and only one shows up. Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices, such as MVP panels, can be associated for use with a single Master. Each panel comes with a defaulted Device Number value of 10001. When using multiple panels, different Device Number values have to be assigned to each panel.

1. Press and hold the two lower buttons on both sides of the display for 3 seconds to open the Setup page. 2. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page), enter 1988 into the onscreen Keypads password field, and press Done when finished.

3. Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number Keypad. The default is 10001 and the
range is from 1 - 32000.

Panel Behaves Strangely After Downloading A Panel File Or Firmware

Symptom: After downloading a panel file or firmware to a G4 device, the panel behaves strangely. If the panel already contains a large enough file, subsequent downloads will take up more space than is available and could often corrupt the Compact Flash. The demo file that typically ships with G4 panels is one such file. Symptoms include: Having to repeat the download. Inability to make further downloads to the panel. May get "directory" errors, "graphics hierarchy" errors, etc., indicating problems with the Compact Flash. Panel will not boot, or gets stuck on "AMX" splash screen. Other problems also started after downloading to a new panel or a panel with a TPD4 file that takes up a considerable amount of the available Compact Flash.

1. DO NOT download TPD4 files (of large size) over the demo pages, or any other large TPD4 file. 2. First download a small blank one page file to the G4 panel using the Normal Transfer option to send/
download the page.

3. Reboot the device. 4. Do your regular file or firmware download.
