Setup Pages and Descriptions

Overview

NXV-300 devices allow updates and changes to Setup and Protected Setup pages in the same way as any other
AMX touch panel. The main difference is you may make various configuration settings via a web browser on
any PC that has access to the NXV-300 device. Entering the device's IP address in an enabled browser
(Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Apple Safari for PCs and Firefox and Safari for
Macintoshes) allows the device to be accessed in that browser. Once contact is established, and a username and
password entered, the Setup pages may be reached and updated (FIG. 5).

Determining the IP Address of the NXV-300

NXV-300 units feature a built-in zero-configuration networking client that allows you to determine the unit's
IP address via a client that uses the Zero Configuration Networking Standard. Zero Configuration (or
Zeroconf) technology provides a general method to discover services on a local area network. In essence, it
allows you to set up a network without any configuration, as described below.

Zero-Configuration Client

You will need a zero-configuration client to determine the IP address of the NXV-300. Many 
zero-configuration clients are currently available. However, for the purposes of this document, we will refer to
Bonjour for Windows, which is Apple's implementation of the Zero Configuration Networking Standard. It is
free and widely available for download.
Bonjour and Bonjour for Windows are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S.
and other countries.
If you don't already have it installed on your PC, download and install Bonjour for Windows before you begin.
The NXV-300 is set to DHCP by default. If the device does not get an address from a
DHCP request, it will set itself to 169.254.2.2 and change the IP to Static. Rebooting
and connecting the device to a known DHCP network will not work, and the device
will need to be reset by pressing and holding the Reset button for 30 seconds.
