AXCESS system. The AXU-MSP series include the AXU-MSP8, AXU-MSP16, AXU-MSP24, AXU-MSP32. The AXM-MSP32, which contains the same pushbutton and bargraph configuration as the AXU-MSP32, can be mounted into a 19-inch rack.
Features Each panel connects to an AMX AXCESS control system using an AXlink cable. The panel pushbuttons perform specific operations according to the AXCESS software and cards in your control system. Each panel comes with a custom engraved overlay and pushbutton configuration to optimize usability. The number of pushbuttons can vary depending on the number of operations the panel must perform.
The MSP rear panels contain the AXlink bus connector, AXlink LED, and the SIP switch that is used to set the panel's device number. Figure 6 shows the back panel component configurations.

Turn the captive screws clockwise to secure the wires. Connect the AXlink connector to the panel. Locate the green AXlink LED on the rear side of the panel. If the green LED flashes once per second, the panel is communicating properly with the AXCESS system.
This section gives an overview of the tool to use to program the MSP. Features The AMX OLDesign software program is a Windows-based design tool that you can use to create panel overlays, pushbutton names, and pushbutton operation descriptions. The operation descriptions are used when the panel and AXCESS operating software is programmed.
