Although firmware upgrades can be conducted over a wireless Ethernet connection,
transferring firmware KIT files over a direct USB connection is recommended, 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.

In addition to its speaker, the MVP-5200i also utilizes its mini-USB port as a connector for standard
headphones or headsets. These headphones must use a mini-USB plug or adaptor in order to utilize this
feature.

Introduction

Basic Operation

The MVP-5200i is operated using both its integral touchscreen and the navigation wheel on the right side
of the device. If the device has gone into its Standby Mode, a touch of the touchscreen or of the button
wheel will reactivate it.

The MVP-5200i device’s power use allows up to 96 hours of use between rechargings of its internal
battery, but its battery charge lasts up to 120 hours if the device goes into Shutdown Mode during that
time. The device may be placed in its charging cradle at any time and operated within its cradle.

The device will automatically go into Sleep Mode after fifteen minutes of inactivity, and this limit may
be changed at any time. Any wireless Internet connection intended for the device will be reconnected
within approximately twenty seconds after the device is placed in its charging cradle. Depending upon
preselected settings, the device may be set to go into Active Mode as soon as it is placed in the cradle.

Navigation Wheel

The MVP-5200i device uses a unique button wheel for all commands not directly involving the
touchscreen. This wheel, known as a navigation wheel, is located in the upper right corner of the device
(FIG. 4). Used with the touchscreen, the navigation wheel allows scrolling and adjusting by turning the
wheel with a thumb or finger and then pressing down on one of the wheel’s compass points for up, down,
left, and right. The wheel is sensitive enough to adjust levels with one-third of a rotation. The center of
the navigation wheel also acts as a button in its own right: for example, pressing down directly upon the
wheel center may be used for the equivalent of an "Enter" keystroke

Compass points

The navigation wheel may be turned
clockwise or counterclockwise

Wheel center

FIG. 4 Navigation wheel detail

Press and hold the wheel center for three seconds to access the Setup pages (for more information, please
see the Setup Pages section on page 51). Continue to hold the wheel center for another three seconds to
access the Calibration page (page 86).

If the MVP-5200i needs to be shut down or reset for any reason, press and hold down the wheel center
button until the popup stating “panel shutting down” appears or the screen goes dark. Continuously
holding down the center button down will cycle the MVP-5200i through the following steps:

1. Setup Pages

2. Calibration

3. Firmware shutdown

4. Hardware shutdown (automatically invoked if the device’s firmware is unable to shut down the

device.

Shut down the panel by holding the wheel center button only if the Setup pages are
otherwise inaccessible. Regularly shutting down the device by this method can
corrupt the Flash memory.

To turn it back on, press any of the wheel’s compass points and hold until the AMX splash screen
appears on the touchscreen. When in its Standby Power Mode, the MVP-5200i may only be returned to
its Awake state by touching the screen.

The light at the center of the navigation wheel brightens and dims based on its source of power. It lights
at full intensity when attached to a power source, such as the Table Charging Station (see the Table
Charging Station section on page 9) or the Wall Charging Station (see the Wall Charging Station section
on page 11), but lights at only half intensity when running on its internal battery. This allows the user to
ascertain whether the device was properly installed in a charging station, as the brightness will visibly
increase with a correct docking and will flash while charging. (The flashing during recharging may be
disabled via the device’s on-board Setup page, as explained in the Setup Pages section on page 51.) The
behavior of the navigation wheel LED is dependent upon its status, and whether the blink function for
the LED while in sleep mode is enabled:

Installing the MVP-WCS-52

Since the Wall Charging Station is intended to be affixed to a wall or other permanent structure, care
must be taken to ensure its proper installation to prevent potential damage to the MVP-5200i placed
within.

Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #1
Phillips screwdriver.

Installing the plastic Back Box

The plastic back box has two knockouts at the top of the box and four (4) lockdown wings attached to the
box with Phillips-head screws. For ease of installation, the interior of the box contains an "UP" arrow
pointing to the knockouts. The Metal Rough-In Box does not have to be installed beforehand, but it
offers an extra level of support.

To install the Plastic Back Box:

1. Cut a hole into the wall or surface intended to hold the box. The outer lip of the box is sized 8.69

inches (220.66mm) long and 6.0 inches (152.4mm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4" (6.4mm)
smaller in each dimension (FIG. 10).

Accessories

To assist with wiring, and to avoid mechanical stresses on the wire and the
mechanism of the Wall-Mounted Charging Station, the top right knockout is preferred
for use.

3. Run the power cable through the knockout into the box. Pull out about six inches (15.25cm) of cable

into the box to facilitate installation of the MVP-WCS-52.

4. Slide the plastic back box into the hole, being careful not to twist or pinch the cable, and set it flush

with the wall (FIG. 11). Make sure that all of the lockdown wings are folded into their slots before
attempting to insert the box. For ease of installation, the inside of the box has the direction "UP"
labeled for reference.

All lockdown wings folded flat during installation

Note Orientation Designator

FIG. 11 Installation of plastic back box

5. Extend the wings on the sides of the box by tightening the screws inside the box. Not all of the

wings must be extended to lock the box in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom
wings is highly recommended. Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with
the wall: this ensures that the wing will tighten up against the inside of the wall.

Make absolutely certain that the box is in its intended position. Once the box
lockdown wings are extended within the box’s hole within the wall, removing the box
will be extremely difficult without damaging the wall in the process.

The maximum recommended torque to screw in the wings on the plastic back box is
105 IN-OZ [74 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the wing screws,
such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the wings or damage the plastic
back box.

6. Prepare the captive wires for the 2-pin 3.55 mm mini-captive wire connector used for the MVP-

WCS-52’s power supply:

Preparing and connecting the captive wires requires the use of a wire stripper and
flat-blade screwdriver.

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

 Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector.

 Turn the screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. Do not over-torque the screws;

doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.

7. Secure the power cable to the device, using either of the two tie-wrap anchors included in the

Installation Kit at the top rear of the device (FIG. 12). Point the head of each tie wrap toward the
center of the device.

from the Installation Kit. Take a rubber foot and remove its adhesive backing. Put the foot, adhesive­side down, in the slot surrounding the screw hole in the Wall Charging Station. Press down firmly to
remove any air bubbles from underneath the foot.

12. Install an MVP-5200i device by placing it into the interior compartment bottom-first. Press the top

of the touch panel until it is flush with the Wall Charging Station. The neodymium magnets will
hold it in place.

13. To remove the MVP-5200i, unlock the touch panel (see the Unlocking the touch panel section on

page 13 for more information) and wait for the touch panel to pull away from the Wall Charging
Station. Once it has been released, grip it by the top of the device, and pull it free from the Charging
Station.

Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box

The optional metal rough-in box (FG037-11) is 10 inches (25.40cm) wide at its widest dimension (wider
than the bezel of the Wall Charging Station), and is only intended for pre construction installations
(FIG. 14). The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Charging Station’s plastic back
box. The Metal Rough-In Box must be located behind 3/8" (0.95cm) to 3/4" (1.91cm) of wall/mounting
surface material.

Install front surface of box
flush with surface of wall stud

FIG. 14 Typical metal Rough-In Box Installation

The metal rough-in box bears a wing on each corner which is intended to bridge gaps between studs and/
or spacers. These wings may be bent carefully in order to fit a particular gap, but may not be so bent as to
allow the box to hang in a vertical position. Once placed in the desired position, put at least one screw
through each wing into the adjoining stud or spacer to secure it.

The interior of the box contains a set of holes on either side, as well as top and bottom, for standard 1/4­inch screws. Use these holes to anchor the box to its adjoining studs or spacers.

Ensure that the metal rough-in box is flush with the 2x4 studs. Any overhang will
affect the installation of the covering sheetrock, as well as affect the placement of the
Plastic Back Box.

The box has two sets of knockouts in the top and bottom, one of the set for US wiring and one for
international wiring.

Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal rough-in box by
the resident electrician before continuing the installation.

After completing the installation of the metal rough-in box, install sheet rock or other wall material over
the box, cut a hole matching the size of the inside diameter in the sheet rock, and clean out all dust before
proceeding with the installation of the plastic back box.

Other MVP-WCS-52 installations

The Wall-Mounted Charging Station is designed to be installed in various different locations, such as
into the face of a wooden podium or the top of a table. Depending upon the ability to wire it to a power
source, Wall-Mounted Charging Stations may be installed on vertical or horizontal surfaces composed of
such materials as wood, brick, and glass.

Installing a Wall-Mounted Charging Station into a solid wall thicker than a standard thickness of
sheetrock is possible, but requires special preparation. If installing into a solid wall of concrete or rock, a
recess must be chiselled or cut out to match the size of the device. The box is sized 8.375 inches
(21.27cm) long and 5.75 inches (14.60cm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4" (0.64cm) smaller in
these dimensions. To facilitate the full range of movement of the device’s components, the recess must
be at least 2.69 inches (6.83cm) deep.

Ensure that the power cable has been installed in the wall and is accessible by the
installer before chiseling out the recess.

Instead of using the lockdown wings to secure the Plastic Back Box, standard
concrete screws may be inserted through the screw holes after removing the
lockdown wings. However, drill the concrete screw holes into the wall before setting
the screws into the box, as excessive torque applied to the screws will damage the
box. To avoid this, the box may be installed with adhesive. Test an unobtrusive spot
on the back of the box with a sample of the adhesive to check for any adverse
reactions before installing the device.

Configuring Wireless Network Access

The first step in connecting the MVP-5200i to a wireless network is to configure the wireless
communication parameters within the device’s Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the
card to communicate to a target WAP: the device must still be directed to communicate with the
correct Master. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page, which allows
configuration of the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the
target Master.

Step 1: Configure the Device’s Wireless IP Settings

The first step to a successful setup of the internal wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on
the Wireless Settings page. This section configures the communication parameters from the MVP panel
to the web.

Configuring Communication

Using the NetLinx Master to control the G4 panel

Refer to the particular NetLinx Master’s instruction manual for detailed information on how to download
the latest firmware from www.amx.com. This firmware build enables SSL certificate identification and
encryption, HTTPS communication, ICSP data encryption, and disables the ability to alter the Master
security properties via a TELNET session.

In order to make full use of the SSL encryption, the web browser used should incorporate an
encryption feature. This encryption level is displayed as a Cipher strength.

Once the Master’s IP Address has been set through NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher:

1. Launch your web browser.

2. Enter the IP Address of the target Master (example: http://198.198.99.99) into the web browser’s

Address field.

3. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to begin the communication process between the target

Master and your computer.

 Initially, the Master Security option is disabled from within the System Security page, and no

username and password is required for access or configuration.

 Both HTTP and HTTPS Ports are enabled by default via the Manage System > Server page.

 If the Master has been previously configured for secured communication, click OK to accept

the AMX SSL certificate, if SSL is enabled, and then enter a valid username and password
into the fields within the Login dialog.

4. Click OK to enter the information and proceed to the Master’s Manage WebControl Connections

window. This page (FIG. 45) is accessed by clicking on the Manage connections link (within the
Web Control section within the Navigation frame). Once activated, this page displays links to G4
panels running the latest G4 Web Control feature that were previously set up and activated on the
device.

If a server certificate is used, it should first be downloaded into the panel and the Certificate Authority

all certificates are stored in a specific directory that the user cannot control or change. The most secure

strings as inputs. An on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.

LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication
information securely in a wireless network environment.

LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates, and is therefore
one of the least secure EAP security methods. However, it can be utilized
successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.

FIG. 70 Wireless Settings page - EAP-TTLS Settings

TTLS (EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is an authentication method that does not use a client
certificate to authenticate the panel. However. this method is more secure than PEAP because it does not
broadcast the identity of the user. Setup is similar to PEAP, but differs in the following areas:

 An anonymous identity must be specified until the secure tunnel between the panel and the

Radius server is setup to transfer the real identity of the user.

 There is no end-user ability to select from the different types of PEAP.

 Additional Inner Authentication choices are available to the end-user.

EAP-TTLS security is designed for wireless environments where the Radius server needs to validate
directly the identity of the client (panel) before allowing it access to the network. This validation is done
by tunneling a connection through the WAP and directly between the panel and the Radius server. Once
the client is identified and then validated, the Radius server disconnects the tunnel and allows the panel
to access the network directly via the target WAP.

TLS (Transport Layer Security) was the original standard wireless LAN EAP authentication protocol.
TLS requires additional work during the deployment phase, but provides additional security since even a
compromised password is not enough to break into an EAP-TLS protected wireless network
environment.

EAP-TLS security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to securely transmit data
over a wireless network by adding an additional level of security protocol via the use of a private key.

Client certificate configuration

A client certificate can be configured by an IT department in several ways. The client certificate and
private key can both be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In addition, the file
format used by these files could be PEM, DER, or PKCS12. These formats are described later in this
section. The following table describes how to fill in the fields for each possible case.
