Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode

The MVP-9000i requires a decision on the type of connection to be made between it and the Master.
To establish a Master connection:
1. From the System Settings page, select the Master tab if it is not already selected.
2. The Current Connection field displays the current connection availability (FIG. 28). If this field reads "Any", then connections
may be made via Ethernet, wireless Ethernet, or USB.

A Wired connection involves communication from the panel to a Master via a wired Ethernet connection to the network.

This is available through the Wired tab on the System Settings page.
A WiFi connection involves communication from the panel to a Master via a wireless connection to the network. This is

available through the WiFi tab on the System Settings page.
A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel's mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as

a Virtual Master). This is available through the USB tab on the System Settings page.
3. Select the Mode field to choose the master connection mode. The connection modes are Auto, URL, and Listen. For more
information on the Connection Modes, please refer to the System Settings - Master section on page 58.
NOTE: Although f irmware upgrades can be conducted over a wireless Ethernet connection, transferring f irmware KIT f iles over a
wired LAN, USB data stick, or USB flash card is recommended, and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery
power is below 30 percent, and the touch panel is not connected to a power supply, the download will not be completed.

Ethernet Over USB

The MVP-9000i device supports an Ethernet over USB driver for panel downloads and firmware updates. This means that the
device can connect to a host computer for updates through its Mini USB port instead of through a standard Ethernet port (FIG. 29).
