6. Push the Backbox into the mounting surface. Insure that the locking tabs lie flush against
the Backbox and that the Backbox goes freely into the opening.
7. Extend the locking tabs on the sides of the Backbox by tightening the screws inside the
box until snug.
Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall: this
ensures that the locking tabs will tighten up against the inside of the wall.
The Backbox is clear to allow visual confirmation that the tabs have been extended and
are gripping the wall, as well as in assisting with removal if necessary.
Note: The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the Backbox is
5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the tab screws, such as
with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or damage the Backbox.
8. For additional strength, #4 mounting screws (not included) may be secured via mounting
holes located at the left and right sides of the MXD-700 (FIG. 4).
In order to prevent damage to the touch panel, make sure that these are flush with the
Backbox.
9. Insert each connector into its corresponding location along the back of the device. To
reach the RJ45 connector, gently pull it from beneath the electronics cover. Attach the
Ethernet cable and gently push the connection back under the cover.
Note: To facilitate connection of the RJ45 connector to the Ethernet cable, press the
RJ45's cable into the RJ45 cable clip to hold it in a stable position. Make sure to remove
the cable from the cable clip before continuing the rest of the installation.
10. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations
and applying power. Verify that the panel is receiving power and functioning properly to
prevent repetition of the installation.
Note: Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed
with the attached connectors before being inserted into the mounting surface.
Remove power before continuing with the installation.
11. Latch the panel onto the top hooks on the Backbox and push it down (Landscape) onto
the bottom snaps or on the left side and push it to the right (Portrait) (FIG. 5).
Press gently but firmly on the ends until the snaps "click" to lock it down.

WARNING: If you see a gap between the panel and the Backbox, or feel any binding while
locking down the panel, stop immediately and verify that no cables or other items are in the
way. Do not force the panel into position, as this can cause damage to the touch screen or
the panel electronics.
12. Reconnect the terminal Ethernet and USB to their respective locations on the Ethernet
port.

Connecting to a NetLinx Master
To establish the type of connection to make between the panel and the NetLinx Master:
1. In the NetLinx page, press Mode to choose the connection mode (URL, Listen or Auto):
Connection Modes
Mode Description
URL The device connects to the
target Master's IP address
via a TCP connection.
Listen This mode allows the panel
to "listen" for the Master's
communication signals.
Note that in this mode, the
System Number and Master
IP/URL fields are read-only.
Auto Use this mode when both
the panel and the NetLinx
Master are on the same
Subnet.
2. If password security is enabled on the target Master, enter the Username and
Password:
a. Select Username to open the NetLinx window.
b. Enter the Username and Password required by the Master.
c. Press OK to save changes and return to the NetLinx page.
