Connecting Devices - Touch Panels

Every system must have at least one AMX User-Interface device: Touch Panel, Keypad or Remote
(FIG. 45).
FIG. 45 Connecting Devices - Touch Panels
Some Touch Panels do not connect directly to the NetLinx Controller:
Remotes connect to the Central Controller in one of two ways:

Connecting Devices - Keypads

Mio Modero Keypads are Axcess devices (except for the Attache), so they don't require a Network
Switch. Mio Modero Attache Keypads are IR devices, and connect to the Central Controller via an IR
sensor. IR sensors (including the AXD-IR+, AXR-IRSM+, IRX-DM+ and IRX-SM+) are listed in the
Expansion tab of the Toolbox (FIG. 46).

Connecting Devices - Remotes

Remotes connect to the Central Controller in one of two ways:
Use the Sub-Model field in the Properties window to specify the RF frequency for MIO-R2 remotes.

MVP (wireless) panels require a Wireless Access Point (e.g. NXA-WAP200G) between the
panel and the Controller.
Ethernet 10/100T panels require a Network Switch between the panel and the Controller.
When adding video touch panels (including any of the wired Modero panels), VA (v1.1 or
higher) automatically adds the appropriate NXA-AVB Breakout box to the System diagram at
the time that the panel is added. Note that included accessories cannot be removed from the
system.
MIO-R1 remotes are IR-only, and connect to the Controller via an IR Receiver (e.g. AXD-
IR+, AXR-IRSM+, MIO-IRRX, AXD-IR+, AXD-IRSM+)
MIO-R2 remotes support IR and RF (418/433 MHz). These remotes can connect to the
Controller either via an IR Receiver, an RF Receiver (e.g. AXR-RF), or both.
