FIG. 1 MVP-7500 Wireless Touch Panel (FG5965-01)
ATTENTION!

Overview

The AMX MVP-7500 panel (FG5965-01) uses an internal wireless compact flash card to communicate with a NetLinx Master via an off-the-shelf 802.11b Wireless Access Point. MVP units utilize a 7.5" Color Passive LCD to display a 640 x 480 pixel image using over 4000 colors and features programmable firmware that can be upgraded via either the wireless card or the mini-USB port. The MVP-7500 panel also features nine programmable external pushbuttons and two sets of display LEDs. These panels are configured to operate on a standard
802.11b wireless network. On the 4 available IR channels, this panel utilizes both AMX IR frequencies (38 KHz or 455 KHz) and 2 additional user-defined IR libraries.

Connections and Wiring

The PS4.4 Power Supply (with barrel connector) provides power to the MVP-7500 panel either directly (via the power connector located on the lower right-side of the panel) or indirectly (by routing incoming power through the Docking Station’s MVP Interface Connector).
• Once the MVP is connected to a docking station; charging priority is first given to any MVP-BP battery packs found within the MVP-7500 and then to any other batteries inserted into the docking station’s battery charging compartments.

USB Connection

This panel uses a standard version 1.1 Type A to Mini-B 5-Wire USB cable to provide communication between the touch panel and the PC. This communication is used to transfer IR data, firmware KIT files, and TPD4 touch panel files.
WARNING: Although firmware upgrades can be done over wireless Ethernet; it is strongly recommended that firmware KIT files be transferred over a direct USB 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.

4. From the Service Set Identifier keyboard, either:
• Enter the SSID name assigned to the specific Wireless Access Point (case sensitive) or
• Leave this field blank to communicate with the first available Wireless Access Point.
5. Verify the Authentication field reads Open (default).
6. Press the Encryption field until it reads Clear Text (default). The remaining Wireless Settings fields are then greyed-out and read-only.
