7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Introduction

The NXT/D-CV7 7" Modero® Widescreen Color Video Touch Panels (FIG. 1) are the industry’s first widescreen mini-touch panels and are available only through AMX.

Introduction

NXD-CV7 (front view)

(FG2258-02)

FIG. 1 Sample 7" Video Touch Panels

NXT-CV7 (front view)

(FG2258-01)

These Color Video (CV) panels display NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats within variable sized windows. They include a built-in microphone, speakers, audio/headphone connector, and six NetLinx

programmable pushbuttons (available on NXD models only when mounted with included Button Trim Ring).

Table Top models use AMX's exclusive SmoothTilt

technology for effortless adjustment of the

viewing angle.

Each panel is sold only as part of a CV7 Kit which includes both a panel and an NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Audio/Video Breakout Box (FG2254-10). This box facilitates the installation and distribution of video (either Composite or S-Video), data (via Ethernet), and audio to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the breakout box. CV7 panels are ideally suited for displaying full motion video and audio with overlay graphics for applications with demanding visual requirements.

7" Widescreen Color Video Table Top Touch Panel Kit (without buttons) (includes both an NXT panel and an NXA-AVB/ETHERNET A/V Breakout Box).

The NXD-CV7 panel (FG2258-02) is shipped, by default with a Trim Ring containing buttons, but the end user can later install the included Trim Ring without button openings. NXT panels can not be upgraded by simply replacing a Trim Ring on the Faceplate.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Introduction

Key features common to both panels include:

 CV7 panels are based on the latest display technology and support AMX's 4th generation (G4)

graphics which provide higher brightness, richer colors, and deeper contrast. The new G4 graphics technology is supported by the latest AMX TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design program (version 2.6 or higher).

 CV7 panels display eye-catching images and full-motion video on a large 16:9 image format,

while providing a wide 100-degree top-to-bottom viewing angle.

 CV7 panels feature a front panel light sensor, motion sensor, IR receiver and a Sleep/Setup

Access combo button.

 CV7 panels are field upgradeable to 802.11g communication via the installation of the new

NXA-WC8011GCF Wi-Fi Card Kit (FG2255-07).

 CV7 panels support AMX Computer Control, which enables remote viewing and control of

any networked computer directly from the panel. This gives the user the ability to launch digital music from a PC, cruise the Internet, check and respond to E-mail, open software files, and launch applications. Anything you can do on your PC can be accomplished through these panels.

 The optional wireless solution includes an NXA-WC80211GCF internal Wi-Fi card that

allows the CV7 to communicate with a NetLinx Master via a standard 802.11g Wireless Access Point, and an NXA-BASE/1 battery base kit that allows the NXT to function off the charge from the included single NXT-BP battery.

 CV7 panels feature programmable firmware that can be upgraded via either the Ethernet port,

wireless interface card, or the mini-USB port.

FIG. 7 NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box connector wiring diagram

The rear-panel wiring connections are described below (from left to right):

• AUDIO IN: 6-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into left and right audio channels. Each channel is divided into GND, IN+, and IN- terminal cable connectors (2 sets of 3 for each channel).

An example of this cable is to strip the ends of 2 RCA audio cables and insert them into their respective locations on the Audio In port.

Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio signal can be connected to this input.

• MIC OUT: 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into GND, OUT-, and OUT+ terminal

• Video In BNCs: Feeds either Composite/S-Video Luma or S-Video Chroma signals into the

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Unbalanced Audio

Most domestic audio equipment has unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. This means that the audio output (left, right, or mono) appears on a single wire, and is referenced to "0 V" or "Ground". Typical connectors used are RCA "phono" connectors, DIN plugs/sockets, and 0.25" (6.3mm) or 3.5mm jack plugs/sockets.

Unbalanced audio is adequate for most domestic environments and for line-level signals in a typical broadcast studio. Problems may occur if the signals are carried over long distances, especially if the source and destination have separate main supplies. Use the following wiring drawing (FIG. 8) to configure an unbalanced audio connection.

•PWR: 2-pin mini-Phoenix connector that connects to a 12 VDC-compliant power supply. This port can be used to provide power to a Modero panel by sending it through the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET (rear power connector through to the front power connector).

Unbalanced OUT

When using unbalanced audio for the AUDIO IN connector (FIG. 8), the "-" and the "GND" terminals should be connected together and then connected to the GND of the unbalance audio signal. When connecting to an unbalanced audio input from the MIC OUT connector (FIG. 8), wire the "+" terminal to the signal input, and the "GND" terminal to the signal ground.

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Balanced Audio

Professional audio equipment will often use balanced audio inputs and outputs, usually on 3-pin "XLR" connectors. A balanced audio signal consists of a pair of wires carrying the audio signal in anti-phase with each other (if one wire carries a positive voltage, the other carries an equal and opposite negative voltage).

The advantage of balanced audio over unbalanced audio is its ability to reject external interference added as the signal is carried over the wire. The receiving equipment takes the voltage difference between the two wires as the input signal. Interference will usually get added to both wires equally, and so gets cancelled by the receiving equipment.

The 3 wires used in a typical XLR lead are often referred to as Ground, Live (Hot) and Return (Cold). "Live" and "Return" carry the "in-phase" and "out-of-phase" versions of the audio respectively. The pins of the XLR plug/socket are as follows:

• X = Ground

• L = Live (Hot)

• R = Return (Cold)

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

When connecting the MIC OUT connector to a balanced audio input (FIG. 9), use all three audio terminals (+, -, and GND), then connect the "+" terminal to the "live" signal, the "-" terminal to the "return" signal, and the "GND" terminal to the ground signal.

FIG. 15 NXA-WC80211GCF 802.11g wireless card

This interface card (FG2255-07) is a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi LAN CF Card which upgrades a Modero panel’s wireless RF capabilities from 802.11b to 802.11g. This card also provides the end-user with several new methods of wireless encryption and data security such as WPA and WPA2. In addition to being backwards compatible with 802.11b networks, this card is installable within all current MVP, CV7, and CV10 panels. To fully utilize these newer wireless security features, this card must be used in tandem with the latest Modero firmware upgrade available at www.amx.com.

This card works with compatible 802.11b/g Wireless Access Points such as the NXA-WAP200G (which uses a default SSID of AMX). Please follow your particular Wireless Access Point’s instruction manual for the correct procedures to setup either a secured or unsecured connection. The following table lists the specifications for the NXA-WC80211GCF.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

CV7 Touch Panel Accessories

This upgrade kit requires that pre-existing panels first be removed from their current location (surface, wall or docking station) before an installer can access the internal circuit boards and upgrade a pre-existing 802.11b wireless CF card.

Only MVP panels require the use of a cardboard cutout (Mounting Template) to properly position the metal antenna plate onto the inner surface of the unit’s rear plastic housing

CV7 and CV10 panels only require locating the Compact Flash’s metal cover plate on the main circuit board and then adhering the terminal antenna connector to that location using the included double-sided adhesive tape.

If the CF metal cover plate is not present over the wireless card slot on a CV7 or CV10 panel, you can use the adhesive tape to secure the terminal antenna to the surface of the new card (atop the product label).

The procedures for upgrading a CF card on an MVP is identical for both MVP-7500 and MVP-8400 panels. The procedures for upgrading/installing the new CF card are also similar across all referenced NXT panels and NXD panels as a group (differences arise from their housing).

Before Upgrading the Wireless Card - Read This...

This new firmware file provides both backwards compatibility with the previous

802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.

1. Upload the latest panel-specific kit file to your Modero touch panel and then confirm the firmware

file update was successful.

Each panel should be updated using its associated panel-specific kit file (SW2258_02 for the CV7). This new firmware file provides both backwards compatibility with the previous

802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.

If you don’t first update the firmware file on the panel, before proceeding with the card upgrade process, you will be required to configure NetLinx Studio to communicate with the target panel via a direct USB connection. In this communication scenario, your PC acts as a Virtual NetLinx Master establishing a secure USB connection to the target panel and then uploading the new Kit file.

Installation and Upgrade of the Internal NXT Components

Upgrading the cards within the Table Top panel involves removing the outer housing (with speaker plate), removing the existing card, replacing it with the 802.11g upgrade, and then placing the outer housing back onto the NXT panel, as described in the following sections.

These panels do not come factory installed with the NXA-WC802.11GCF wireless interface card. This card must be ordered separately from AMX as part of the 802.11g upgrade kit (FG2255-07).

Do not use Ethernet cables containing mounting boots. These boots could make removal of the Ethernet connectors (from the panel) difficult and cumbersome.

Step 1: Remove the existing NXT Outer Housing

Carefully detach all connectors from the rear of the touch panel and then gently place the touch

panel LCD facedown onto a soft cloth to expose the under-side of the base (FIG. 16). This step helps prevent scratching of the LCD.

2. Tilt the base forward so that both the bottom surface and Housing Screws are easily accessible.

3. While holding the outer housing and base plate at an angle (to prevent it from sliding), use a

grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four Housing Screws.

Pre-Wall Installation of the Rough-In Box

Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within an outer housing (back box). This back box is not removed when installing the NXD into a Rough-In Box (CB-TP7). The back box is only removed to gain access for the replacement of the internal components.

INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND ROUGH-IN BOX MOUNTING TABS TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL or SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall or sheetrock after the CB-TP7 Rough-In Box has been installed.

The CB-TP7 is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a stud/beam in a pre-wall setting (where no walls are present). Installation procedures and configurations can vary depending on the installation

environment. This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenario. The most important thing to remember when mounting this rough-in box is that the NXD-CV7 Mounting Tabs must lie flush against the outside of the sheetrock (FIG. 36).

 Refer to SP-2258-02 for detailed installation dimensions.

 It is recommended that you cut out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the

installation drawings so that you can make any necessary cutout adjustments.

 The wiring knockouts on the left side will be used for the NXD-CV7 Wall Mount panel

connectors, so always secure the rough-in box to the stud using the Stud Mounting Holes on the right side of the box.

Wiring Guidelines for the CV7 Panels

CV7 panels use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the panel via the 2-pin

3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector. Use the previously provided power requirement information to determine the power draw.

The incoming PWR and GND wires from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding locations within the PWR connector.

These units should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one source of power to the touch panel can result in damage to the internal components and a possible burn out. Apply power to the panels only after installation is complete.

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.

2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams

and connector types described in this section).

3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing

so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

Wiring a power connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND wires from the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 42).

There are 2 possible Master Connection Types available: USB or Ethernet. A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master). An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via an Ethernet connection to the network.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

NetLinx Master’s connection information

Configuring Communication

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.

The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into an already active panel before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver. This driver is part of both the NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 software application installations.

Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master

NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel is then configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master.

For a personal computer to establish a connection to a Modero panel via USB, the target computer must have the appropriate AMX USB driver installed. This installation is bundled into the latest TPDesign4 software setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on www.amx.com.

Step 1: Setup the Panel and PC for USB Communication

If you do not currently have the latest version of TPDesign4, navigate to www.amx.com > Tec h

Center > Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Design Tools section of the website and locate the AMX USB Driver executable (AMX USBLAN Setup exe).

2. Download this executable file to a known location on your computer.

3. Launch the Setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC

The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC it is detected as a new hardware device and the USBLAN driver becomes associated with it (panel specific). Each time thereafter the panel is "recognized" as a unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background. When the panel is detected for the first time some user intervention is required during the association between panel and driver.

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the

large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.

If the panel is already powered, continue with steps 3. The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.

2. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on

FIG. 57 Using USB for Virtual Master communication

Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview

IP Routing

The behavior of the wireless routing is largely dependent on the wired network interface. Although the panel can be connected to two networks simultaneously it may only have one gateway. If the wired network was successfully set up and a gateway was obtained; then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wired network. In the event that the wired network was not configured, then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wireless network. The wired network connection always takes priority.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Configuring Communication

As an example:

 Imagine a panel connected to two networks A & B. A is the wired network and B is the

wireless network. If the Master controller is on either of these networks then it will be reached. However if the Master controller is on a different network, C, then determining which network interface (wired or wireless) that will be used is dependent on the gateway.

Hot Swapping

Hot swapping is not an issue on these panels as the card is installed within the unit and cannot be removed without first removing the housing.

In the case of DHCP, there must be a DHCP server accessible before the fields are populated.

If the SSID (Network Name) and WEP fields have not previously been configured, the Wireless Settings page will not work until the panel is rebooted.

Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXA-WC80211GCF AMX Wireless Card communicating to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA-WAP200G). The Wireless Access Point communication parameters must match those of the

installed wireless CF card inside the panel.

In determining the Ethernet method of communication, the panel will always default first to the direct Ethernet communication. If no direct connection is detected, the panel will first check to see if there is an installed wireless interface card and then communicate to the WAP using the Wireless Settings assigned within the Wireless Settings page. The WAP communication parameters must match those of the preinstalled wireless interface card installed within the panel. These touch panels allow users to connect to a wireless network through their use of the optional AMX 802.11g Wi-Fi CF card. The WAP communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless interface card installed within the panel. This internal card transmits data wirelessly using the 802.11x signals at 2.4 GHz.

For a more detailed explanation of the new security and encryption technology, refer to the section of the document entitled: Appendix B - Wireless Technology section on page 201.

Configuring a Wireless Connection

When working with a wireless card, the first step is to configure wireless communication parameters within the Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the card to communicate to a target WAP (such as the NXA-WAP200G), it is still necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master.

7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Configuring Communication

Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings

 In an Open security mode, when a target WAP is selected and the connect to, the SSID name

of the selected WAP is saved for the open security mode.

 In a Static WEP security mode, when a WEP Access Point is selected and then connected to,

the user is then redirected back to the Static WEP security screen where the SSID field is already filled out and the user is only required to enter in the remaining WEP key settings.

 A similar process occurs for WPA-PSK access points. For any other case, the firmware

switches back to the previous page and security and connection parameters must be entered in as normal.

Step 2: Configure the Card’s Wireless Security Settings

The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page. The section configures both the communication and security parameters from the internal wireless card to the WAP. The procedures outlined within the following sections use

an 802.11g card to configure a common security configuration to a target WAP.

Once you have completed setting up the wireless card parameters, you must then navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating that there is no current connection to a Master).

Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for unsecured access to a WAP200G

Prior to beginning the configuration of the wireless settings, verify that the panel has been upgraded to a wireless panel via the installation of the NXA-WC80211GCF wireless CF card.

The signal strength field should provide some descriptive text regarding the strength of the connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address displayed; configuration of your network could be required.

Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G

After logging into the WAP200G, the default Status page appears within the web browser. These read-only values are "pulled" from some of the other user-configurable Configuration Utility pages. By default, wireless Modero panels are configured for unsecured communication to a Wireless Access Point. To properly setup both the WAP200G and panel for secure communication, you must first prepare the Modero panel and then use the information provided to fill out the fields within the WAP’s browser-based Basic Wireless Configuration page.

Since the code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula, all panels will generate identical keys for the same Passphrase. The generators used on WAPs will not produce the same key as the Modero generator even if you use the same Passphrase. For this reason, we recommend

FIRST creating the Current Key on the Modero and then entering that information into the appropriate NXA-WAP200G fields.

1. Provide power to the panel (this allows it to detect the internal wireless card).

2. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected

Setup page and display an on-screen keypad.

3. Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field and press Done when finished.

FIG. 65 Site Survey of available WAPs (Secured WAP shown selected)

 The alpha-numeric string is by default AMX but can later be changed to any 32-character

entry. This string must be duplicated within the Network Name (SSID) field on the WAP.

 As an example, if you use TECHPUBS as your SSID, you must match this word and the

case within both the Network Name (SSID) field on the touch panel’s Network Name SSID

field and on the WAP’s Basic Wireless Configuration page.

9. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 64) until it reads either: 64 Bit Key Size or 128 Bit Key Size.

The 64/128 selection reflects the bit-level of encryption security. This WEP encryption level must match the encryption level being used on the WAP.

WEP will not work unless the same Default Key is set on both the panel and the Wireless Access Point. For example: if you have your Wireless Access Point set to default key 4 (which was 01:02:03:04:05), you must set the panel’s key 4 to 01:02:03:04:05.

10. Toggle the Default Key field until the you’ve chosen a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches

what you’ll be using on your target WAP200G. This value MUST MATCH on both devices.

 These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.

11. With the proper WEP Key value displayed, press the Generate button to launch the WEP

Passphrase keyboard.

If you are wanting to have your target WAP (other than an NXA-WAP200G) generate the Current Key - Do not press the Generate button and continue with Step 13.

 This keyboard allows you to enter a Passphrase (such as AMXPanel) and then

AUTOMATICALLY generate a WEP key which is compatible only among all Modero panels.

The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula. Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical keys when done on any Modero because they all use the same Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.

12. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG. 66), enter a character string or word (such as

AMXPanel) and press Done when you have finished.

 As an example, enter the word AMXPanel using a 128-bit hex digit encryption. After

pressing Done, the on-screen Current Key field displays a long string of characters (separated by colons) which represents the encryption key equivalent to the word AMXPanel.

 This series of hex digits (26 hex digits for a 128-bit encryption key) should be entered as

the Current Key into both the WAP and onto other communicating Modero panels by using the WEP Key dialog (FIG. 67).

FIG. 67 WEP Key # Keyboard

13. Write down this Current Key string value for later entry into your WAP’s WEP Key field (typically

entered without colons) and into other communicating panel’s Current Key field (FIG. 67).

14. If you are entering a Current Key generated either by your target WAP or another Modero

panel, within the WEP Keys section, touch the Key # button to launch the WEP Key # keyboard (FIG. 67), enter the characters and press Done when finished.

 This Key value corresponds to the Default WEP Key number used on the Wireless Access

Point and selected in the Default Key field described in the previous step.

If your target Wireless Access Point does not support passphrase key generation and has previously been setup with a manually entered WEP KEY, you must manually enter that same WEP key on your panel.

Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures.

Configuring multiple wireless Moderos to communicate to a target WAP200G

For each communicating touch panel, complete all of the steps outlined within the previous

Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G section on page 65.

2. Navigate back to the Wireless/Wireless Settings page on each panel.

3. Verify that all communicating Modero panels are using the same SSID, encryption level, Default

Key #, and an identical Current Key value.

 As an example, all panels should be set to Default Key #1 and be using aa:bb:cc..as the

Current Key string value. This same Key value and Current Key string should be used on the target WAP.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 on each panel. Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for all

communicating Modero panels.

Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

It is necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. If you have previously established a wireless connection to the Internet you must still navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a Master).

 If you have previously configured an internal wireless card for communication to the Internet,

you do not need to configure the panel’s IP Settings fields and can skip the following Step 1.

Step1: Configure the Panel’s Wired IP Settings

There are only two available methods of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wireless (via an internal card) or Wired (direct Ethernet connection). If you are not using an internal wireless card, you can only configure the connection parameters through the System Settings page. This type of communication can be established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address (typically provided by your System Administrator).

Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields appear on the two separate System Settings and Wireless Settings pages; the

information populating these fields is identical.

If the information within one of these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both pages within the altered field. Example: Domain is altered on Wireless Settings page, the value is then also changed within the Domain field of the System Settings page.

3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP.

DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and once the communication setup process is complete, reserve an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.

4. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.

5. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.

6. Do not alter any of the remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is

rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.

11. Navigate to the Master Connection section of this page to begin configuring the communication

parameters for the target Master.

Step 2: Choose a Master Connection Mode Setting

There are three Ethernet MODE settings used in the Master Connection section of the System Settings page. URL is the most common method.

 Master Connection MODE options:

• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it).

• LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".

• AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled. This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx Master manual for more detailed information.

Step 3: Configure an Ethernet Connection Type

When using Ethernet as your communication method, the NetLinx Master must first be setup with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio or your System Administrator.

Before beginning:

1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate either through an Ethernet cable (from the

panel to a valid Ethernet Hub) or to a wirelessly (from the panel to a compatible Wireless Access Point (WAP)).

Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware.

2. Verify that the NetLinx Master is receiving power and is communicating via an Ethernet connection

with the PC running NetLinx Studio.

3. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on

the rear/side of the touch panel.

4. Verify the green Ethernet LED (from the rear Ethernet port on the Master) is illuminated (indicating

a proper connection).

5. Verify the yellow LED (from the rear Ethernet port on the Master) is blinking (indicating

communication).

6. After the panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (for 3 seconds) to

proceed to the Setup page.

7. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings

Upgrading Modero Firmware

Before beginning the Upgrade process:

 Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the your particular NetLinx Master

Instruction Manual for detailed setup procedures.

 Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the Modero panel for use. Refer to the

Panel Calibration section on page 49.

The latest CV7 firmware kit file is now panel-specific. Only CV7 firmware should be loaded onto ithis specific panel type.

This new firmware also provides both backwards compatibility with the previous

802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.



Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x Help file for more information on uploading files via

Ethernet.

 Configure your panel for either direct connect or wireless communication. Refer to the

Configuring Communication section on page 51 for more information.

It is recommended that firmware Kit files only be transferred over a direct Ethernet connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.

Upgrading Modero Firmware

The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required steps for updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating Kit files to a NetLinx Master (except the target device is a panel instead of a Master). Refer to either your Master’s literature or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures.

A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.

Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port

Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB connector is securely inserted into the PC’s USB port. The panel must be powered-on before connecting the

mini-USB connector to the panel.

Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB driver installation. This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 application installations.

Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type

After the installation of the USB driver has been completed; confirm the proper installation of the

large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine.
