ATTENTION!

Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master Firmware (available from www.amx.com) on your ME260/64 and NI-Series Controllers. Verify the TPDesign4 program being used is Version 2.4 or higher.

Overview

The 12" (NXT/NXD-CV12) and 15" (NXT/NXD-CV15) Video panels are 4th generation graphics touch panels that provide richer colors and crisper contrast than any panels currently on the market.

Modero tilt panels now come with an optional NXA-BASE/B battery base that allows it to function off the collective charge of two internal NXT-BP batteries that can be charged either in the base or in an optional NXT-CHG charger.

RJ-45 Connections

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide communication between the touch panel, NXA-AVB, and the NetLinx Master.

Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Connector

The Ethernet cable (connected to the rear of the Table Top Panels or to the side of the Wall Panel) provides 10/100 network connectivity between

the panel and the NetLinx Master.

Modero Setup and System Connection

1. Carefully remove the panel from the shipping box, peel the protective plastic cover from the LCD and apply power to the panel.

2. From below the LCD, press the grey Front Setup Access button for 6 seconds (passing-over the Setup page) to access the Calibration setup page and follow the on-screen instructions.

3. Press the grey Firmware Setup Access button for 3 seconds to open the Setup page and touch the on-screen Protected Setup button.

4. Enter the panel password into the keypad. Factory default is 1988.

5. Press the Device Number field to open the on-screen Device Number keypad and enter a value for the panel (default is 10001).

6. Press Done when finished and press the on-screen Reboot button to cycle power to the panel.

7. Repeat step 3 to access the Protected Setup page and touch the System Connection button to open the System Connection page (FIG. 6).

Setting up the System Connection Parameters

There are two choices for communication with the system Master: Ethernet or ICSNet. The default method used for Master connection is

Ethernet.

First - Setup the Master Connection

To configure Ethernet communication:

1. Under the Master Connection column, toggle the ICSNET/Ethernet field until the choices cycle to Ethernet.

2. Press the Mode button:

• URL - In this mode, enter the System Number (zero for an unknown System Number) and the IP/URL of the Master (Master Port Number is defaulted to 1319).

Master’s connection information

Panel’s connection information

FIG. 6 Sample System Connection page

• Listen - In this mode, add the Modero’s IP Address into the URL List of the Master (using NetLinx Studio). This mode sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list).

• Auto - In this mode, enter the System Number of the NetLinx Master. This mode instructs the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection section) and that resides on the same Subnet.

To configure ICSNet Communication:

1. Under the Master Connection column, toggle the ICSNET/Ethernet field until the choices cycle to ICSNET.

2. All other settings are disabled and do not apply.

Second - Setup the IP Settings (Panel Communication)

Toggle the on-screen DHCP/Static field to select the appropriate setting for your system.

• DHCP - With this setting, other settings are greyed-out and do not apply. Typically the Host Name can be left blank. These fields (“pulled” from the Ethernet connection) are filled-in by the panel after the unit is rebooted.

• Static IP - With this setting, you must enter the network information as provided by your Network Administrator.

Remaining System Connection Parameters

1. Set the speed of the Ethernet connection to the panel by selecting from either: Auto (default), 10 Half Duplex, 10 Full Duplex, 100 Half Duplex, or 100 Full Duplex.

2. Enter a valid username and/or password (if the target Master is secured).

3. Press the Back button and then press the on-screen Reboot button to save the changes and cycle power.

NOTE: Press the on-screen Reboot button after any changes are made to the touch panel’s Communication Parameters.

Setting up a Modero Wireless Connection
