AMX Modero MVP-8400i Quick Start Manual

Overview
The AMX MVP-8400i panel (FG5965-04) uses an internal wireless compact
flash card to communicate with a NetLinx Master via a standard 802.11g
Wireless Access Point. Panel to panel communication is enabled via a full
duplex VoIP intercom interface. The MVP-8400i utilizes a 8.4" Color Active LCD
to display a 800 x 600 pixel image using over 256 K colors, and features
programmable firmware that can be upgraded via either the wireless card or the
mini-USB port. The MVP-8400i also features nine programmable external
pushbuttons and two sets of programmable LEDs. On the 4 available IR
channels, this panel utilizes both AMX IR frequencies (38 KHz or 455 KHz) and
2 additional user-defined IR libraries.
For detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and operating
instructions refer to the MVP-8400i Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/
reference guide, available on-line at www.amx.com.

Connections and Wiring
The PS4.4 Power Supply (with barrel connector) provides power to the
MVP-8400i either directly (via the power connector located on the lower right-
side of the panel) or indirectly (by routing incoming power through the Docking
Station's MVP Interface Connector).
• Once the MVP is connected to a docking station; charging priority is first
given to any MVP-BP battery packs found within the MVP-8400i and then
to any other batteries inserted into the docking station's battery charging
compartments.
Warning: Although firmware upgrades can be done over wireless Ethernet; it is
strongly recommended that firmware KIT files be transferred over a direct USB
connection 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.
