Operations Guide – DOC. 6539C

Charging the Internal Battery

NOTE: A Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery typically provides 300-500 charge/discharge
cycles.
There are three ways to charge the TPMC-8X-BTP Internal Battery Pack:
•
With the TPMC-8X-BTP installed in the TPMC-8X touchpanel, connect the
touchpanel to an AC source using its AC adapter or
•
With the TPMC-8X-BTP installed in the TPMC-8X touchpanel, mount the
touchpanel on an AC powered TPMC-8X-DS Docking Station/Charger
(sold separately) or
•
With the TPMC-8X-BTP installed in the TPMC-8X touchpanel, mount the
touchpanel on a TPMC-8X-DSW Wall Mount Docking Station/Charger
(sold separately).
NOTE: The battery pack may take up to three hours to charge in a powered
touchpanel if the panel is in use during charging.
NOTE: When the external battery pack (TPMC-8X-BTPE, sold separately) is
attached, both the internal and external battery packs charge simultaneously.

Security Infrastructure

Since the TPMC-8X does not use a traditional hard drive but rather an image that
gets restored every time the touchpanel is rebooted, any virus infection is cleared
immediately after a reboot. However, using the currently available tools and
techniques, Crestron has provided an infrastructure that protects against possible
virus infections.
1. Executables/Scripts brought in on external media
The implementation of the TPMC-8X has restrictions on starting any application
or script. The only applications that can be started are those allowed by Crestron
and these can only be started from the Crestron project.
2. Downloaded Program/Script
The browser is customized in such a way that files cannot be downloaded. The
only files the browser can open are the files it has plug-ins for, such as PDF, etc.
The user cannot change the options, as this dialog box has been disabled.
3. Browser Hijack and Browser vulnerability
Crestron has patched all currently known hijacks and vulnerabilities. Future
updates can be downloaded from the Crestron website.
4. Email Viruses
There is no e-mail client installed on the TPMC-8X, so email-based viruses
cannot be executed.
5. Viruses that attack web/FTP servers
The TPMC-8X does not run a web or FTP server and is therefore not listening to
port 21 or 80. The only ports the system listens to are the ports registered to
Crestron.
6. Virus from other machines on the network
Since drives on the TPMC-8X can be shared on the network, it is possible that a
virus can write itself to files/folders on these shares. Our recommendation
