Locking tab
MSD-431-L BACKBOX INSTALLATION
FIG. 5
CAUTION: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic
Backbox is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the tab screws,
such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or damage the Backbox.
•
Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall: this
ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall.
•
The Backbox is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and
are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal if necessary.
•
For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured through
circular holes located at the left and right flanges of the MSD-431-L (FIG. 5). In order to
prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are flush with the Backbox.
Installing the Touch Panel
1.
Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the device
(FIG. 6).

2.
Attach the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power to test
wiring.
Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed
with the attached connectors before being inserted into the mounting surface.
•
Verify that the panel is receiving power and is functioning properly.
•
Remove power before continuing with the installation.
3.
Latch the panel onto the top hooks on the Backbox and push it down onto the bottom
snaps. Press gently but firmly on the ends until the snaps "click" to lock it down.
Note: If a gap is observed between the panel and the Backbox, or binding is felt while
locking down the panel, stop and verify there are no cables in the way. Do not force the
panel into position, or the touch screen or the panel electronics may be damaged.
4.
Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on either the
Ethernet port or NetLinx Master.

protected, this opens a password keypad.
2.
Enter the panel password into the keypad (the default is 1988) and select OK.
Conf iguring the Panel's IP Address
The first step is to configure the panel's communication parameters. This only configures the
panel to communicate with a network, and it is still necessary to tell the panel with which
Master it should be communicating.
Network Communication With a DHCP Address
In the Connection & Networks page:
1.
Select Network Connection to open the Network Connection page.
2.
Toggle the DHCP/Static field until the choice cycles to DHCP. This action causes all fields
on the page (other than Host Name) to be greyed-out.
3.
Select Host Name to open the Host Name keyboard. Enter the new host name and click
OK.
Setting Static IP Information
When using DHCP settings for a panel, the DHCP server will automatically populate almost all
of the Network Connections page fields, with the exception of Hostname. When setting the
panel for Static, however, this information must be entered manually. To enter the network
connection information:
1.
In DHCP/Static, press the field until the entry reads "Static". This enables all of the
editable Network Connections page fields.
2.
Select the IP Address field to open the Wired IP Address keypad.
3.
Enter the server's IP address and click OK.
4.
Repeat this procedure with the other fields on the Network Connections page.
5.
When finished, the new connection information will be visible in the Network
Connections page.
Connecting to a NetLinx Master
To establish the type of connection to make between the panel and NetLinx Master:
1.
In the Connection & Networks page, select Master Connection to open the Master
Connection page.
2.
Press Mode to toggle through the available connection modes (Auto, URL or Listen):
CONNECTION MODES
Mode
Description
URL
The device connects to the target
Master's IP address via a TCP
connection.
Listen
This mode allows the panel to
"listen" for the Master's
communication signals.
Note that in this mode, the System
Number and Master IP/URL fields
are read-only.
Auto
Use this mode when both the panel
and the NetLinx Master are on the
same Subnet.
3.
If you have enabled password security on your Master, you need to set the username
and password within the device.
a. Select Username to open the Master User keyboard.
b. Set your Username and select OK.
c. Select the Password to open the Master Password keyboard.
d. Set your Master Password and select OK.
e. Press the Back button twice to return to the Settings page.
