MVP-9000i

Overview

The AMX MVP-9000i-XX Modero Wireless Touch Panel is a mobile device that
communicates with a NetLinx Master via a standard 802.11a/b/g Wireless
Access Point. Panel to panel communication is enabled via a full duplex VoIP
intercom interface with SIP integration. The MVP-9000i utilizes a 9" Color Active
LCD to display a 800 x 480 pixel image using over 16.7M colors, offers control
via four programmable capacitive touch buttons and a capacitive touch
directional pad in addition to its touch screen, and features programmable
firmware that can be upgraded via the device’s mini-USB port. The MVP-9000i
comes in black (MVP-9000i-GB, FG5967-01) and white (MVP-9000i-GW,
FG5967-02).

For detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and operating
instructions, refer to the MVP-9000i Operation/Reference Guide, available

With the unit facing you, the microSD card slot (for loading and saving files such
as photos), the mini-AB USB port (for programming and downloading firmware)
and the DC power jack are located on the lower left side of the device. The
connector for the Table Docking Station is located on the bottom of the device.
The MVP-9000i may be operated while docked in a Table Docking Station or
Wall Docking Station, connected via the included power supply, or through
battery power.

The MVP-9000i supports an Ethernet over USB driver for panel downloads and
firmware updates through its mini-USB port instead of through a standard
Ethernet port. The mini-USB port may also be used, with an adaptor, with USB
memory sticks and USB headphones.

Note: The mini-USB port cannot be used to power the device or charge the
battery. Operation and charging must be done through the Docking Station
connector or through the power jack.

Warn ing: 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

Setup Pages

The panel is equipped with setup pages that allow you to set and configure
various features on the panel. Consult the MVP-9000i Operation/Reference
Guide for detailed information on the Setup pages.

Accessing The Protected Setup Page

1. Press down and hold both the bottom left pushbutton and down on the
directional pad (indicated in FIG. 1) simultaneously for 3-5 seconds. This
opens the Setup page.

2. Press the Protected Setup button on the Setup page. This opens a
keypad for password entry.

3. Enter the panel password into the keypad (default is 1988) and select
Done to access the Protected Setup page.

Setting the Panel’s Device Number

In the Protected Setup page:

1. Press the Device Number field to open the Device Number keypad.

2. Enter a unique Device Number assignment for the panel.

3. Press Done to return to the Protected Setup page.

Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings

The first step is to configure the wireless communication parameters. This only
configures the card to communicate to a target WAP and it is still necessary to
tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with; see Master
Connection.

Consult the MVP-9000i Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels Operation/Reference
Guide for setting the wireless communication using a static IP address.

Wireless Communication Using a DHCP Address

In the Protected Setup page:

1. Select Wireless Settings. Wireless communication is set within the IP
Settings section of this page.

2. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the
choice cycles to DHCP. This action causes all fields in the IP Settings
section (other than Host Name) to be greyed-out.

Do not alter any of these 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.

Consult the MVP-9000i Operation/Reference Guide for setting a Host Name.

Configuring the Card’s Wireless Settings

This section configures both the communication and security parameters from
the internal wireless card to the WAP.

Once you have set up the wireless card parameters, you must configure the
communication parameters for the target Master; see Master Connection.

Consult the MVP-9000i Operation/Reference Guide for configuring the wireless
card for unsecured access to the WAP.

Configuring The Wireless Card for Secured Access To the WAP

In the Protected Setup page:

1. Select Wireless Settings.

2. Enter the SSID information automatically by pressing the Site Survey
button.

3. Select a WEP secured WAP from within the Site Survey page, and press
the Connect button.

4. Write down the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC
Address information so you can later enter it into the appropriate WAP
dialog fields in order to "sync-up" the secure connection. These values
must be identically reproduced on the target WAP.

Consult the MVP-9000i Operation/Reference Guide for manually entering the
SSID information.

Master Connection

The panel requires you establish the type of connection you want made
between it and your master. In the Protected Setup page:

1. Select System Settings

2. Select Type to toggle between USB and Ethernet.

3. When using Ethernet, press the listed Mode to toggle through the
available connection modes:

Connection Modes

Mode Description Procedures

Auto The device connects to the first

master that responds. This
setting requires that you set
the System Number.

URL The device connects to the

specific IP of a master via a
TCP connection. This setting
requires that you set the Mas­ter’s IP.

Listen The device "listens" for the

master to initiate contact. This
setting requires you provide
the master with the device’s IP.

4. Select the Master Port Number to open the keypad and change this
value. The default setting for the port is 1319.

5. Set your Master Port and select Done.

If you have enabled password security on your master, you need to set the
username and password within the device.

6. Select the blank field Username to open the keyboard.

7. Set your Username and select Done.

8. Select the blank field Password to open the keyboard.

9. Set your Password and select Done.

10. Press the X button to return to the Protected Setup page.

11. Press the Reboot button to reboot device and confirm changes.

Setting the System Number:

1. Select the System Number to open the
keypad.

2. Set your System Number and select
Done.

Setting the Master IP:

1. Select the Master IP number to the
keyboard.

2. Set your Master IP and select Done.

Confirm device IP is on the Master URL
list. You can set the Host Name on the
device and use it to locate the device on
the master. Host Name is particularly
useful in the DHCP scenario where the IP
address can change.

Touch Panel Calibration

In the Protected Setup page, follow these steps:

1. Select the Calibrate icon.

2. Touch each target on the screen as they appear. Once calibrated the
panel confirms and instructs you to touch the screen to continue.

Panel Intercom Configuration

Incorporating an intercom capable panel into your NetLinx system

Download the module for the intercom panel from www.amx.com, and include
it in your NetLinx project file. For searching purposes, the module manufacturer
is AMX and the model is Intercom.

Note: The intercom module will only work with AMX intercom capable panels.

Cleaning the Touch Overlay and Case

Always use a clean cotton cloth and a spray bottle containing water or a
vinegar-based cleaner when cleaning the MVP-9000i, as alcohol-based
cleaners can damage the device. Do not directly spray the device: instead,
spray the cloth to clean the touch screen overlay. Do NOT use an abrasive of
any type to clean the MVP-9000i, as this may permanently damage or remove
the device’s finish.

Battery Life and Replacement

The battery powering the MVP-9000i is designed for upwards of 300 deep
discharge rechargings. Regular shallow rechargings will extensively increase
expected battery life, and the device should be stored in either a Table
Charging Station or Wall Charging Station when not in use to keep it at an
optimum charge. The battery has reached its effective end of life after it can no
longer hold more than a 70 percent charge.

Proper Battery Maintenance

NOTE: To insure maximum performance and reliability of your AMX
Wireless Touch Panel, please insure that a full charge is performed every
3 months if not used regularly. If a battery is left uncharged beyond this
time frame, it may result in premature battery lifespan degradation and
will require replacement.
