Conf iguring Communication

Overview

All control for a MVP-9000i touch panel is established through a NetLinx Master. Communication between the MVP and the Master
consists of using wired LAN, Wireless Ethernet (DHCP, Static IP) or USB. References to Ethernet in this manual focus on the use of
Wireless Ethernet via the MVP's WiFi Card.
NOTE: Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero panel-specif ic f irmware. Verify you are using
the latest versions of AMX's NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 programs.
In the example below (FIG. 20), three MVP-9000i devices are shown at varying distances from an AP gateway. As with any other AP
network, the gateway is spaced so as to allow a maximum wireless coverage for the three devices.

When initially installing the MVP-9000i, some basic configuration items, including network settings and NetLinx settings, will need
to be set. For more information, refer to the Protected Setup Pages section on page 55.
NOTE: The MVP-9000i defaults to Auto mode for its Master connection.

IR Communication

In certain situations, the MVP-9000i may be used as an infrared remote device for other AMX controllers. The device can transmit
IR over 20 feet (6.10 m) from the panel at AMX frequencies of 38KHz and 455KHz, and third-party device frequencies between
20KHz and 120KHz. IR receivers and transmitters on G4 panels share the device address number of the panel.
The MVP-9000i includes an IR transmitter for communication between the device and the NetLinx Master and between separate
devices. The transmitter is located behind the IR Emitter Panel on the rear of the device (FIG. 21).
