Configuring Modero Firmware via the USB Port

The MVP-9000i needs to be configured to connect with a PC to transfer firmware via the mini-USB port. To configure
the touch panel:

Step 1: Configure The Panel For a USB Connection Type

1.
After the panel powers up, hold the Reset button to display the Setup page (for more information, refer to the
Accessing the Setup pages section on page 43) and open the Protected Setup page.
2.
Press System Settings to open the System Settings page.
3.
Toggle the blue Type field in the Master Connection section until the choice cycles to USB.
ALL fields are then greyed out and read-only. However, they still display any previous
network information.
4.
Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.
5.
Press the Reboot button both to save any changes and to restart the panel. Remember that the panel's connection
type must be set to USB prior to rebooting the panel and prior to inserting the USB connector.
6.
ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page should you THEN insert the mini-USB connector into the
Mini-USB Port on the panel. It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a signal to the
PC, indicated by a green System Connection icon.

Step 2: Prepare NetLinx Studio For Communication Via the USB Port

Connections > Local Area Connection).

If a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection icon still does not turn green, complete the
procedures in the following section to set up the Virtual Master and refresh the System from the Online Tree.
This action sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the communication, turning the System
Connection icon green.
