Touch Panel Calibration - AMX MVP-8400i Installation Manual

Wireless Communication Using a DHCP Address
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Wireless Settings. Wireless communication is set within the IP Settings sec-
tion of this page.
2. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to
DHCP. This action causes all fields in the IP Settings section (other than Host Name)
to be greyed-out.
Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once
the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS
fields after power-up.
Note: DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and
once the communication setup process is complete, assign IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.
3. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name.
4. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the Host
Name.
5. Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once
the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS
fields after power-up.
Note: This information can be found in either the Workspace - System name > Define
Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the
Device Addressing/Network Addresses section of the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics
dialog.
6. Setup the security and communication parameters between the wireless card and the
target WAP by configuring the Wireless Settings section on this page.
Using the Site Survey tool
This tool allows a user to "sniff-out" all transmitting Wireless Access Points within the
detection range of the internal NXA-WC80211GCF. Once pressed, the panel displays the
Site Survey page which contains categories such as:
• Network Name (SSID) - Wireless Access Point names
• Channel (RF) - Channel currently being used by the WAP (Wireless Access Point)
• Security Type (if detectable - such as WEP, OPEN and UNKNOWN) - security protocol
enabled on the WAP
• Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
• MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point.
Refer to the Operation/Reference guide for details.
Step 2: Configure the Card's Wireless Security Settings
The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless
Settings section of the Wireless Settings page.
Refer to the MVP-7500/8400 Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels Operation/Reference Guide
for instructions on configuring the communication and security parameters from the internal
wireless card to the WAP. The G4 Web Control Settings/G4 Web Control Page section, and
the Appendix B - Wireless Technology provide information on other security methods.
Configuring the Wireless Card for Secured Access to the WAP
1. In the Protected Setup page:, select Wireless Settings.
2. Enter the SSID information automatically by pressing the Site Survey button.
3. Select a WEP secured WAP from within the Site Survey page, and press the Connect
button.
Write down the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC Address information
so you can later enter it into the appropriate WAP dialog fields in order to "sync-up" the
secure connection. These values must be identically reproduced on the target WAP.
Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode
The panel requires you establish the type of connection you want made between it and your
master. In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select System Settings.
2. Select Type to toggle between the Master Connection Types USB and Ethernet.
• A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel's mini-USB port to a
corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master). Refer to the Operation/
Reference guide for details.
• A Wireless Ethernet connection involves indirect communication from the panel to a
Master via a wireless connection to the network
3. When using Ethernet, press the listed Mode to toggle through the available connection
modes:
Connection Modes
Mode Description
Auto The device connects to the first
master that responds. This setting
requires you set the System
Number.
URL The device connects to the
specific IP of a master via a TCP
connection. This setting requires
you set the Master's IP.
Listen The device "listens" for the
master to initiate contact. This
setting requires you provide the
master with the device's IP.
4. Select the Master Port Number to open the keypad and change this value. The default
setting for the port is 1319.
5. Set your Master Port and select Done.
If you have enabled password security on your master you need to set the username
and password within the device.

USB
NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by
supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. For a PC to establish a USB
connection with a Modero panel, it must have the AMX USBLAN driver installed.
Note: The AMX USBLAN driver is included with both NetLinx Studio2 and TPDesign4, and
can also be downloaded as a stand-alone application from www.amx.com.
Prepare Your PC for USB Communication With The Panel
Download and install the latest versions of NetLinx Studio2 and TPDesign4 (from
www.amx.com), and restart your PC.
Configure the Panel For USB Communication
The first time the panel is connected to the PC it is detected as a new USB hardware device,
and the correct (panel-specific) USBLAN driver must be associated to it manually. Each time
thereafter, the panel is recognized as a unique USBLAN device, and the association to the
driver is handled automatically.
1. Connect the PS4.4 power connector to the panel (or docking station if the panel is
already installed) to supply power.
2. Press and hold the two lower external pushbuttons on either side of the panel
simultaneously for 3 seconds to access the Setup page.
3. In the Protected Settings page, select System Settings to open the System Settings
page.
4. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice
cycles to USB.
5. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page.
6. Press Reboot to save changes and restart the panel.
7. When the panel powers up and displays the first panel page, insert the mini-USB
connector into the Program Port on the panel.
It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a signal to
the PC (indicated by a green System Connection icon). The first time the panel is rec-
ognized by the PC as a new USB device, a USB driver installation popup window is
displayed. This window notifies you that the panel has been detected as a USB device,
and the appropriate USB driver is being installed to establish communication with the
panel. It also indicates that the AMX USBLAN driver does not contain a Microsoft
digital signature.
8. Click Yes to proceed with the driver installation.
Once the installation is complete, the panel and PC are ready to communicate via
USB.
9. Navigate back to the System Settings page.

Touch Panel Calibration

In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Calibrate.
2. Touch each target on the screen as they appear. Once calibrated the panel confirms
and instructs you to touch the screen to continue.
