ESD WARNING
To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before
touching any internal materials.
When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be
followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive
smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not be manufactured
locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, without
increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.
Anyone performing f ield maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD f ield service kit complete with at
least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord
WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this equipment are
hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
Place the equipment near a main power supply ou tlet and make sure that you can
easily access the power breaker switch.
WARNING: This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the voltages listed on the back panel or the recommended, or

I/O
The I/O port (available only on the MCP-108) responds to switch closures and voltage level (high/low) changes, or can be used for
logic-level outputs. The +12 pin provides +12 V
Sensors, VSS2 Video Sync Sensors (or equivalent). The GND connector is a common ground and is shared by all I/O ports. A
common ground is shared with I/O ports 1 - 2.
FIG. 8 displays the I/O connector.
FIG. 8
I/O port
CAUTION:
Improper wiring could damage your ControlPad. The CP-3008 ControlPad has the ground and power signals in swapped
positions on the I/O port. If you are replacing a CP-3008 ControlPad with the MCP-108, you may need to make a wiring change in
your I/O connector to avoid damaging the MCP-108.
A contact closure between the GND and an I/O port is detected as a Push.
When used for voltage inputs, the I/O port detects a low signal (0 - 1.5 V
(3.5 - 5 V
) as a Release. (This I/O port uses 5V logic but can handle up to 12V without harm.)

LAN (RJ-45)
The LAN RJ-45 port provides 10/100 Mbps communication via Cat5/5e/6 network cable. The LAN port automatically negotiates
the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode. The LAN port is best used for
connecting to a network switch. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or
crossover Ethernet cables. The port LEDs show communication activity, connection status, speeds, and mode information.
The LAN port also receives its power via the LAN port and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) when you connect this port to a PoE switch
which conforms to the 802.3af standard. See the Applying Power section on page 15 for information on PoE setup.

Applying Power
Applying power to Massio ControlPads and Keypads requires Cat5 cable and a PoE injector, such as the PS-POE-AF-TC (FG423-83)
available from AMX, or a PoE-capable Ethernet switch which conforms to the 802.3af standard. The network must be connected
through the PoE injector to send power to the ControlPad.
1.Connect the PoE injector to an AC outlet (~100-240V) using a standard power cord.
2.Connect the switch category cable to the Data In port on the PoE injector (FIG. 12).

You can use the ID pushbutton to perform the following procedures:
Perform a factory reset of the ControlPad or Keypad: Press the ID pushbutton for approximately 10 seconds during the
boot process. While pressing the ID pushbutton, disconnect and reconnect the cable from the LAN port on the rear panel
of the ControlPad to reset the ControlPad’s factory defaults. During factory reset, the backlight turns off for all buttons,
but all buttons should be back online after 1-2 minutes. If you do not hold in the ID pushbutton for the full 10 seconds,
the reset does not occur. (There is no soft reboot with the ID pushbutton, but you can perform a soft reboot from the
web pages.)
On Massio ControlPads and Keypads, the LEDs on buttons 1 and 2 blink while you keep them pressed. Hold them until the
LEDs begin blinking at double the rate (approximately10 seconds.) Release the buttons and the keypad will reset.

Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP
Massio ControlPads support both DHCP and static IP addresses. You can use a static IP address which you can set via a Telnet
command (SET IP), or you can use the factory default static IP address (192.168.1.3). The default static IP address can be recalled
at any time by resetting the unit to its factory default configuration.
You can toggle between the DHCP and Static IP modes by pressing the ID Pushbutton located on the bottom of the ControlPad.
After the ControlPad boots, press and hold the ID Pushbutton for 10 seconds. While pressing the ID pushbutton, disconnect and
reconnect the cable from the LAN port on the rear panel of the ControlPad to toggle between IP addressing modes.
NOTE: You must wait until the ControlPad is finished booting before toggling the IP address. Pressing the pushbutton while booting
will cause the ControlPad to restore its factory default settings.
When you release the Pushbutton, the switcher toggles either from static to dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing or vice versa and
remains in that mode until the you use ID Pushbutton to toggle the IP mode again or you perform a factory reset. The switcher
automatically reboots to complete the process.
In place of using the ID pushbutton, you can press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously on the ControlPad to simulate the functions of
the ID pushbutton. You must keep both buttons pressed for 10 seconds as you would with the ID pushbutton to toggle between IP
address mo des. See the ID Pushbutton section on page 16 for the button locations for each type of ControlPad.
Conf iguration and Programming
You can configure Massio ControlPads with RPM. RPM is a cloud-based configuration tool that allows you to easily configure an
AMX system by using a step-by-step wizard-based approach. You can get started using RPM by accessing it via the AMX Services
Home page at https://my.amx.com.
For more information on using RPM, see the RPM Instruction Manual available at www.amx.com.

Upgrading Firmware
Overview
The basic process of upgrading firmware on Massio ControlPads involves downloading the latest firmware f iles from www.amx.com
and using NetLinx Studio to transfer the files to a target ControlPad.
Use the OnLine Device tree in NetLinx Studio to view the firmware f iles currently loaded on the device. FIG. 34 shows an example
OnLine Tree indicating an MCP-108:
Upgrading Firmware
FIG. 34
While the method of upgrading firmware f iles is the same for all Massio ControlPads, there are some specific points relative to the
specific model and type of controller that must be noted:
NetLinx Studio - Sample OnLine Tree
Massio ControlPads - Firmware Files
Massio ControlPads contain two devices (Master and Device Controller), each of which require a separate firmware (*.kit) file.
The ControlPad firmware file is not the same as the Device Controller firmware file. These two devices must be kept at compatible
firmware versions for proper operation. Therefore, both f iles should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the
Integrated Controllers.
Massio ControlPads - Firmware Files
Master FirmwareThe on-board Master is listed first in the OnLine Tree as
Device Controller FirmwareThe Device Controller is listed next as "05001 MCP-10x (<firmware version>)"
"00000 MCP-10x Master (<firmware version>)"
For example, the Master in FIG. 34 above is "00000 - MCP-108 Master (v1.3.23)".
•"00000" represents Device ID 0, which is reserved for the Master.
• The number in parenthesis (in this case "v1.3.23") is the current Master firmware version.
For example, the Device Controller in FIG. 34 above is "05001 - MCP-108 (v1.1.18)".
•"05001" represents Device ID 5001, which is reserved for the Device Control ports.
• The number in parenthesis (in this case "v1.1.18") is the current Device Controller firmware version.
Before You Start
1.Verify you have the latest version of the NetLinx Studio application installed on your PC.
NetLinx Studio is available to download from www.amx.com. Login to do wnload th e latest version. Alternatively, if it is already
installed, use the Web Update option in NetLinx Studio’s Help menu to obtain the latest version.
The default location for the NetLinx Studio application is Star t > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio > NetLinx Studi o.
2.Verify that a LAN cable is connected from the controller to the LAN Hub.
3.Verify that the controller is powered on.
4.Connect to the controller via IP address.
5.Establish what version of f irmware is currently loaded on the controller (see Verifying the Current Firmware Version below).
Verifying the Current Firmware Version
Use the OnLine Tree in NetLinx Studio (see FIG. 34 on page 28) to verify which version of each firmware file is currently installed.
NOTE: These steps assume that you have already established a connection with the target ControlPad (see the Initial
Configuration section on page 23 for details).
1.In NetLinx Studio, click on the OnLine Tree tab (in the Workspace Bar) to view the devices on the System.
2.Click Display and select Refresh System from the context menu. This establishes a new connection to the System and
populates the device tree with devices on that system.
3.After the Communication Verification dialog indicates active communication between the PC and the Central Controller, verify
the Central Controller and associated devices are listed in the OnLine Tree.
4.Check the appropriate product page on www.amx.com for the latest Master and Device Controller firmware files for your
devi ce.
If necessary, follow the procedures outlined in the following sections to obtain these firmware (*.kit) f iles from www.amx.com and
then transfer the new firmware files to the device.
Page 29
Upgrading Firmware

Instruction Manual - Massio ControlPads and Keypads
Downloading the Latest Firmware Files from www.amx.com
NetLinx Controllers
Massio Contro lPads require two f irmware (*.kit) f iles: Master firmware and Device firmware. The Master firmware file is not the
same as the Device firmware file.
Both f iles should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the Integrated Controllers.
NOTE: The process of downloading and transferring firmware files is the same for all types of firmware. However, it is important that
the firmware files are upgraded in specif ic following order for Massio ControlPads (see the Required Order of Firmware Updates
section on page 29).
Master and Device Firmware Kit Files for Massio ControlPads
Below is a table outlining the Master and Device Firmware (*.kit) f iles used by Massio ControlPads:
Master and Device Firmware Files for Massio ControlPads
NOTE: The HTTP f irmware kit enables you to upgrade firmware via an HTTP server. Upgrading a Massio ControlPad to firmware
version 1.4 or higher requires the current f irmware version on the ControlPad to be version 1.3.106 or higher. Follow the same steps
in NetLinx Studio as you would with a typical firmware upgrade. Upgrading firmware via HTTP server is typically much faster than
upgrading with the standard firmware kit files. See the Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio section on page 30 for more
information.
Downloading Massio ControlPad Firmware Files on www.amx.com
Visit the appropriate product page on www.amx.com for the latest Master and Device Controller firmware (*.kit) files for your Massio
ControlPad. Firmware f ile links are available along the rig ht-side o f the c atalog page.
Firmware f iles are bundled in a ZIP f ile , along with a Readme.TXT file that provides details on this firmware release.
1.Accept the AMX Licensing Agreement.
2.Download the ZIP f ile and unzip the contents to a known location.
Required Order of Firmware Updates
The Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio instructions (below) apply equally to all types of f irmware files. However, it is important
that the firmware files are upgraded in the following order:
1.First, upgrade the Device firmware.
2.When that process is complete, upgrade the Master firmware.

Programming the Knob and LED Bargraph (MCP/MKP-108)
The knob on the MCP/MKP-108 has multiple programming functions and can be treated from a NetLinx programming perspective
as 1 pushbutton plus Channel up and down. The button layout for the knob is indicated in FIG. 39.
Knob - Button 11
The knob is a pushbutton that provide an event on Channel #11, and can be programmed like any other button.
Knob - Buttons 12-13
The knob itself can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, and is intended to provide level control (for example volume or
ligh ting levels).
When rotated clockwise, the knob provides events on Channel #12.
When rotated counter-clockwise, the knob provides events on Channel #13.
When rotated (clockwise/counter-clockwise), the knob provides level events on Level #2.
Navigation Wheel - Level Control
In addition to generating button events, a rotation of the knob causes a level change on Level #2:
The display bargraph consists of 7 LEDs and is controlled via Level #1. Sending a level will update the LEDs on the display bargraph.
Example code is provided below:
SEND_LEVEL dvMassio,1,200
Supported SEND_LEVELs
MKP-108 keypads support a SEND_LEVEL on Level #1. This level is used to adjust the LED bargraph display on the keypad.

Telnet User Name and Password
There are two Telnet commands that set the Telnet user name and password:
Set Telnet Username (see page 41)
Set Telnet Password (see page 41)
By default, both the user name and password are blank (empty string). Performing a factory reset on the device will return these
values to that default. See the ID Pushbutton section on page 16 for details.
Setting the User Name will have no effect if the password remains blank (empty string). That is, defining the user name
alone will not result in Telnet prompting for user login.
Setting the Password will cause Telnet to prompt for user login, whether the user name has been def ined or not. If the user
name has been defined, this value must be entered.
However, since the password can be set independently o f the user name, it's possible to have a password def ined, but the
user name still at its default (blank, empty string).
In this case, do not enter anything for the user name when prompted. Simply press <Enter>, which will then present the
password prompt. Here, the defined password must be entered, in order to successfully open the Telnet session.
Additional Notes
Both the Telnet user name and password are case-sensitive.
Three consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to log in to Telnet will cause the Telnet window to close. Re-launching Telnet will
again present the login prompt, with a fresh "batch" of login attempts.
If Telnet login fails because of an incorrect user name, you will receive the "Invalid Password" message (as opposed to an
"Invalid Username" message).
Setting a Telnet User Name and Password
To set a Telnet user name and password:
1.Establish a terminal connection via Telnet.
2.Type Set Telnet Username, and press <Enter>. The program will prompt you to enter a new Telnet user name.
3.Enter a user name and press <Enter>. The program will indicate that the user name is being stored.
4.Type Set Telnet Password, and press <Enter>.
NOTE: Press <Enter> twice when asked to enter the password to clear both the telnet user name and password.
5.The program will prompt you to enter a password. Enter a password and press <Enter>.
6.The program will prompt you to re-enter the Telnet password. Re-enter the password and press <Enter>. The program will
indicate that the password is being stored.

Notes on Specific Telnet Clients
Telnet and terminal clients will have different behaviors in some situations. This section states some of the known anomalies.
Windows Client Programs
Anomalies occur when using a Windows™ client if you are not typing standard ASCII characters (i.e. using the keypad and the ALT
key to enter decimal codes). Most programs will allow you to enter specific decimal codes by holding ALT and using keypad
numbers.
For example, hold ALT, hit the keypad 1, then hit keypad 0, then release ALT. The standard line feed code is entered (decimal 10).
Windows will perform an ANSI to OEM conversion on some codes entered this way because of the way Windows handles languages
and code pages.
The following codes are known to be altered, but others may be affected depending on the computer's setup.
Characters 15, 21, 22, and any characters above 127.
This affects both Windows Telnet and Terminal programs.
Linux Telnet Client
The Linux Telnet client has three anomalies that are known at this time:
A null (\00) character is sent after a carriage return.
If an ALT 255 is entered, two 255 characters are sent (per the Telnet RAFT).
If the code to go back to command mode is entered (ALT 29 which is ^]), the character is not sent, but Telnet command
mode is entered.
Enabling/Disabling Telnet on the Keypad
By default, Telnet is enabled on all Massio keypads. The default Telnet port is 23.
You can change the Telnet port by using the SET TELNET PORT command (see page 41). Setting the Telnet port to zero disables
Telnet access.
The SET TELNET PORT command requires a reboot to enable new settings.
NOTE: The only way to re-enable Telnet once it has been disabled is to reset the unit to the factory default f irmware image. See the ID
Pushbutton section on page 16 for details.
