Configuring Communication

Overview

All control for a MVP-5200i touch panel is established through a NetLinx Master. Communication between
the MVP and the Master consists of using either 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.
Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero
panel-specific firmware. Verify you are using the latest versions of AMX's NetLinx
Studio and TPDesign4 programs.
In the example below (FIG. 15), three MVP-5200i devices are shown at varying distances from the two AP
gateways. As with any other AP network, the gateways are spaced so as to allow a maximum wireless coverage
for the three devices.

The MVP-5200i defaults to Auto mode for its Master connection.
