3.
Use an HD-15 video cable to create a connection between the computer's video output connector and the HD-15 D-
Sub RGB/VGA/Component connector on the rear of the NXA-AVB/RGB. This HD-15 D-Sub RGB/VGA/
Component connector on the breakout box is used to route an RGB (computer) or Component (DVD/HDTV) signal
to a target Modero panel (using the internal NXA-RGB card).
4.
Use a Type-A to Type-B USB cable to create a connection from USB connector on the computer to the rear Type-B
USB device port input connector on the rear of the NXA-AVB/RGB. This connection routes pass-thru computer
control from the touch panel, to the front RGB RJ-45 connector, and then through the rear USB port to the PC.
Touch information is sent to and from the panel via this two-way connector.
5.
Verify the panel has been configured to communicate by connecting an RJ-45 10/100baseT Ethernet connector
from the rear Ethernet port on the breakout box to a valid Ethernet Hub.
6.
Connect the incoming power connector to the 12 VDC power connector on the rear of the box.
DO NOT CONNECT POWER UNTIL THE UNIT IS COMPLETELY INSTALLED.
7.
Use the NXA-MTC/RGB to create a connection between the NXA-AVB/RGB and the target VG-Series touch
panel. Refer to the following NXA-MTC/RGB Combo Table Top Cable (CA2250-70) section on page 21 for more
detailed cable information.
8.
Connect a USB mouse/keyboard to the available connectors on the target touch panel.
9.
Verify a proper installation of all of the RJ-45 and power connectors between the target touch panel and breakout
box.
10.
Verify a proper installation of all of the RJ-45, HD-15, and power connectors between the rear of the breakout box
and the computer.
11.
Provide power to both the computer and the NXA-AVB/RGB Breakout Box.
