The dimming performance or quality there of is not guaranteed, impart due to the random combinations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or transformers.
• AMX software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days.
• Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty.
• AMX AutoPatch Epica, Modula, Modula Series4, Modula CatPro Series and 8Y-3000 product models will be free of defects in
materials and manufacture at the time of sale and will remain in good working order for a period of three (3) years following the
date of the original sales invoice from AMX. The three-year warranty period will be extended to the life of the product (Limited
Lifetime Warranty) if the warranty card is filled out by the dealer and/or end user and returned to AMX so that AMX receives it
within thirty (30) days of the installation of equipment but no later than six (6) months from original AMX sales invoice date. The
life of the product extends until five (5) years after AMX ceases manufacturing the product model. The Limited Lifetime Warranty
applies to products in their original installation only. If a product is moved to a different installation, the Limited Lifetime Warranty
will no longer apply, and the product warranty will instead be the three (3) year Limited Warranty.
All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is obtained from the AMX
RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box. The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After
the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will
be refused. AMX is not responsible for products returned without a valid RMA number.
AMX is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform. This includes any lost profits, lost
savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX is not liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Authorized Partner for a third party.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to (a) any AMX product that has been modified, altered or repaired by an unauthorized agent or
improperly transported, stored, installed, used, or maintained; (b) damage caused by acts of nature, including flood, erosion, or earthquake; (c) damage caused by a sustained low or high voltage situation or by a low or high voltage disturbance, including brownouts,
sags, spikes, or power outages; or (d) damage caused by war, vandalism, theft, depletion, or obsolescence.
This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort claim (including
negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by
any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the
possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.
Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of incidental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not
apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full determination of rights.

Memory
The MVP-9000i comes with 2GB internal MicroSD memory,1.1GB of which is accessible to the user. This
memory may not be upgraded.
Connector Locations
With the unit facing you, the mini-USB port (for programming and downloading firmware and the DC power
port are located on the lower left side of the device (FIG. 2). The connector for the Table Docking Station
(please refer to the Table Docking Station section on page 11) is located on the bottom of the device.
Although firmware upgrades can be conducted over a wireless Ethernet connection,
transferring firmware KIT files over a wired LAN, USB data stick, or USB flash card is
recommended, and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery
power is below 30 percent, and the touch panel is not connected to a power supply,
the download will not be completed.
In addition to its speaker, the MVP-9000i 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.
While standard input/output headsets may be used in lieu of headphones, the
headset may only be used for output. While you may receive sound from the headset,
its microphone will not function. Always use the MVP-9000i’s microphone for
receiving sound.
Basic Operation
The MVP-9000i is operated using its integral touchscreen, as well as the capacitive touch buttons on the left
and the directional pad on the right side of the device (F IG. 1). If the device has gone into its Sleep or Standby
Modes, a button press will awaken the de vice from Sleep Mode, but touching the screen is the only way to
wake it from Standby Mode.
The MVP-9000i device’s power use allows up to 72 hours of use between rechargings of its internal battery,
but its battery charge lasts up to one month 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, making a wired Ethernet
connection in the process.
If shut down, the device will power up when placed in a Table Docking Station or Wall Docking Station, or
when external power is applied via the PS3.0 Power Supply. If the device is in Standby Mode, the device will
not turn on if its side buttons or directional pad are touched or the device is docked. Touching the screen is the
only way to wake an MVP-9000i from Standby Mode.
Introduction

MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
Any wired connection intended for the device will be reconnected within approximately twenty seconds after
the device is placed in a Table Docking Station or Wall Docking Station. Depending upon its settings, the
device may be set to go into On Mode as soon as it is placed in the Docking Station.
Powering on the MVP-9000i
The MVP-9000i may be powered on by touching and holding the touchscreen. If the device was in Sleep
Mode, it will automatically turn on when put into a Table or Wall Docking Station.
Intercom Microphone
The MVP-9000i contains a built-in microphone above the upper lefthand corner of the touch screen for video
and audio conferencing capabilities. This microphone is concealed by the casing.
Stylus
The MVP-9000i comes with a unique touchscreen stylus that slides into a storage groov e on the left side of the
device when not in use. Replacement styluses may be ordered in a 3-pack (black, FG5966-21; white, FG5966-
22) from www.amx.com.
Kick Stand
Since the MVP-9000i device is designed to be a unit used away from its docking station, it has an extendable
“kickstand” on the back of the unit (FIG. 2). This may be opened by physically lifting the free end of the kick
stand away from the device. The device may then be propped up on a flat surface and accessed in a normal
fashion.
Audio/Video Capabilities
The MVP-9000i has the capability of displaying multiple JPEG and PNG files at one time. The device also
supports streaming motion JPEG video (of the sort used by many IP and Web cameras) and hardware
acceleration of Motion JPEG (previously configured in TPDesign4), as well as MP3 and WAV audio files.
Power Management
The MVP-9000i utilizes a dual voltage external power supply. It may be recharged through the supplied PS3.0
Power Supply (FG423-30), as well as through the MVP-TDS-9 Table Docking Station (FG5967-1X) or the
MVP-WDS-9 W all Docking Station (FG5967-1X). For more information, see the Accessories section on
page 11 for details.
Charging Lithium Polymer batteries at high temperature will re duce the battery life.
Industry guidelines dictate that batteries should not be charged at temperatures
above 45° C (113° F). The temperature is determined by a combination of the
ambient temperature where the panel is located, plus temperature increases
normally occurring inside electronic devices containing batteries. AMX has
implemented battery temperature monitoring features to maximize the rate of battery
charging, while staying within industry temperature guidelines.
Battery charge times will increase in installations where the room temperature is
above 25° C (77° F), and may be temporarily suspended at room temperatures
above 30° C (86° F). Battery charging will automatically resume once the
temperature has fallen to appropriate levels. Minimizing the display backlight intensity
and turning off the backlight during periods of non-use will also yield faster charge
times.
Although the MVP-9000i unit is equipped with a mini-USB port, the device cannot be
powered through the USB port. The port is only used for uploading firmware.
When not in active use, the MVP-9000i conserves battery life between chargings. Pressing the touch screen
will return the device to its On Mode. For more information on the battery, see the Battery Life and
Replacement section on page 183.

All images must be in JPEG format. PNG and other image formats cannot be viewed
through Picture View.
Seamless Wireless to Wired Swap
The MVP-9000i's unique design allows for wireless as well as wired connectivity with the appropriate Table
Docking Station or W all Docking Station. To prevent offline events when transitioning between wired and
wireless connectivity, the MVP-9000i allows for seamless swapping. For swapping to work correctly, the
Wired (page 72) and WiFi (page 73) network settings must be configured properly. The current connection
mode to the master is indicated by the connection icon in the upper right hand corner of the setup pages as well
as in the Current Connection field in the System Settings page under the Master tab.
FIG. 5 “Attempting to Undock” popup window
Refer to the Miscellaneous MVP Strings section on page 156 for strings that are sent to the master when the
panel is docked and undocked.
Swapping between wired and wireless connections is only supported when the
Master Mode is set to URL. For more information, please refer to the System Settings
Page section on page 70.
To swap from a wireless connection to a wired one, simply place the panel in a Table Docking Station or Wall
Docking Station. T o swap from a wired connection to a wireless connection, you must first initiate an undock
request. This can be done with the undock button on the Docking Station, or with the Undock Panel button in
the System & Panel Options page (please refer to the System & Panel Options page section on page 66). The
swap will happen once a valid password is entered (if enabled). If the panel does not swap to the master
immediately, a Confirmation Dialog popup will notify the user (FIG. 5). The user has the option to force an
undock which will cause an offline event, or to cancel the undocking and remain in the dock. If the swap is
completed sometime after the popup is displayed, the popup will disappear automatically. The popup will also
disappear after a 15-second countdown.
If an undock is initiated during a VoIP call or Dynamo session, pressing the Yes
button ends all VoIP calls in progress and Dynamo sessions.
After a successful swap from wired to wireless communication, if the panel is not removed from a Table
Docking Station after 30 seconds, the dock will automatically lock the latch and swap back to wired
communication.

Powering the MVP-TDS-9
The MVP-TDS-9 uses the PS-POE-AT High-Power PoE Injector (FG423-81) to provide direct power for the
MVP panel via a standard Ethernet connection, both for standard function and for char ging its internal battery.
This also allows a wired Ethernet connection for the panel, and the panel may be used normally while docked
in the MVP-TDS-9 without the need for a wireless connection.
Use only the RJ45 plug on the included Ethernet cable with the MVP-TDS-9. Other
RJ45 plugs will not fit in the device’s jack, and attempting to use another plug may
damage the jack. If necessary, the cable may be spliced and shortened for special
installations.
For both Ethernet connection and for power for the MVP-9000i, the MVP-TDS-9 uses a special Ethernet cable
(FIG. 8) in order to connect to the PS-POE-AT.
FIG. 8 MVP-TDS-9 cable

Installing the MVP-WDS-9
Since the W all Docking 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-9000i placed within.
Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #2
Phillips screwdriver.
Installing the Wall Docking Station and Plastic Back Box
The Plastic Back Box has two pairs of knockouts at the top of the box and four (4) lockdo wn 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 optional CB-MVP-WDS9 Metal Rough-In Box is not required for installation of
the supplied Plastic Back Box, 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 back box. The back box is sized 12 1/16 inches
(30.64 cm) long and 8 11/16 inches (22.07 cm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4” (6.4mm) smaller
in each dimension (FIG. 13). Use the included MVP-WDS-9 Wall Docking Station Template (68-5967-
01) as an aid for hole placement and measurement.
FIG. 13 Recommended cutout for the MVP-WDS-9 plastic back box
Make sure to measure the size of the intended hole before starting to cut it. Cutting
the hole slightly smaller than the dimensions to allow for adjustments is highly
recommended.
2. Select the knockout to be removed from the top of the box. The box has two knocko uts, at the top left and
the top right.
To assist with wiring, and to avoid mechanical stresses on the wire and the
mechanism of the Wall Docking Station, the top left knockout, when viewing the
device from the rear, is preferred for use for Ethernet installation. Use the top right
knockout for USB cable connection.

3. Connect the PS-POE-AT High-Power PoE Injector to a power source. Connect the PS-POE-AT to an
Ethernet switch on the network via one length of Ethernet cable and insert one length of Ethernet cable
for connection to the Wall Docking Station.
4. Run the Ethernet cable through the knockout into the back box. Pull out about six inches (15.25cm) of
cable into the back box to facilitate installation of the MVP-WDS-9.
5. Slide the plastic back box into the hole, being careful not to twist or pinch the cable, and set it flush with
the wall.
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.
6. Extend the wings on the sides of the box by tightening the screws inside the box.
Not all of the wings must be e xtended to lock th e 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
5 IN-IBS [5(NI-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.
7. Attach the included snap-on ferrite to the Ethernet cable, as close to the RJ-45 connector as possible.
Attach the cable to the Ethernet Port (FIG. 14).
FIG. 14 MVP-WDS-9 - Ethernet cable path
8. Firmly seat the device against the back box. Make sure that the tab connector at the bottom of the device
is locked into the back box.
9. Insert the two installation screws from the MVP-WD S-9 Installation Kit into the screw holes in the
interior compartment of the device and tighten them to anchor the device to the back box.
For ease of installation, put each screw on a neodymium magnet in the device’s
interior compartment to keep them on hand until they are needed.

10. After fully seating the screws, wipe down the area around the screw holes with the alcohol prep p ad from
the Installation Kit. Take a rubber foot and remove its adhesive backing. Put the foot, adhesi v e-side down,
in the slot surrounding the screw hole in the Wall Docking Station. Press down firmly to remove any air
bubbles from underneath the foot.
11. Install an MVP-9000i device by placing it into the interior compartment bottom-first. Press the top of the
touch panel until it is flush with the Wall Docking Station. The neodymium magnets will hold it in place.
12. T o remov e the MVP-9000i, unlock the touch panel (see the Unloc king the Touch P anel section on page 15
for more information) and wait for the touch panel to pull away from the Wall Docking Station. Once it
has been released, grip it by the top of the device, and pull it free from the Docking Station.

Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box
The optional metal rough-in box (FG038-13) is 11.97 inches (30.40cm) wide at its widest dimension (wider
than the bezel of the W all Docking Station), and is only intended for pre construction installations (FIG. 15).
The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Docking Station’s plastic back box.
In order to guarantee a stable installation of the MVP-WDS-9, the distance between
the CB-MVP-WDS9 and the outer wall surface must be a minimum of .50 inches
(1.27cm) and a maximum of .1.50 inches (3.81cm).
.
FIG. 15 CB-MVP-WDS9 Rough-In Box - with front cover
Pre-Wall Installation of the CB-MVP-WDS9
1.
Remove the rough-in box cover (A in FIG. 15) before installation of the Rough-In Box (B).
The cover MUST be removed before drywall installation. The cover may be
reinstalled after drywall installation using 4-40 screws (not included).
2. Fasten the CB-MVP-WDS9 rough-in box to the stud through the holes on the Stud Mounting Ta bs, using
either nails or screws (not provided).
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.
3. Remove the appropriate wiring knockouts from the rough-in box to accommodate the cables being
threaded through to the MVP-WDS-9.
Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal rough-in box by
the resident electrician before continuing the installation.
4. Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring through the knockouts. Using the left wiring knockouts
for USB connector cables and the right wiring knockouts for the LAN/PoE In cable is very highly
recommended with this installation. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate installation of the
docking station.
5. Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the back box for the CB-MVP-WDS9.
Accessories

MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
6. Cut out the opening for the MVP-WDS-9 where the wall has been placed ov er the Rough-In Box. Cutting
out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation drawings, so that you can make
any necessary cutout adjustments, is very highly recommended.
Other MVP-WDS-9 installations
The W all-Mounted Docking Station is designed to be installed in various diffe rent 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, WallMounted Docking Stations may be installed on vertical or horizontal surfaces composed of such materials as
wood, brick, and glass.
Installing a W all-Mounted Docking 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.
T o 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.

Zero-Configuration Networking
The MVP-9000i features a built-in zero-configuration networking client that allows you to determine the
device’ s IP address via a client that uses the Zero-Configuration Netw orking Standard. Zero-Configuration (or
Zeroconf) technology provides a general method to discover services on a local area network. In essence, it
allows you to set up a network without any configuration, as described below.
Zero-Configuration Client
You will need a Zero-Configuration client to determine the IP address of the MVP-9000i within the network.
Many Zero-Configuration clients are currently available. However, for the purposes of this document, we will
refer to Bonjour for Windows, which is Apple’s implementation of the Zero-Configuration Networking
Standard. It is free and widely available for download.
Bonjour and Bonjour for Windows are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the US
and other countries.
If you don’t already have it installed on your PC, download and install Bonjour for Windows before you begin.
1. With Bonjour for Windows running on a PC with access to the MVP-9000i’s LAN, connect the MVP-
9000i to the network.
2. Select the MVP-9000i from the Bonjour list of devices on the browser.
3. The browser will bring up the main touch panel page.
4. Access the Protected Setup pages, using your password if necessary. The unit’s IP address is displayed in
the System Settings - Wired page in the Protected Setup pages. (For more information, please refer to
System Settings - Wired section on page 72.)
5. If necessary, assign a static IP address to the panel.
Protected Setup Pages
65
MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
Bonjour for Windows operates as a plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer, and is
displayed in the IE Explorer Bar. If you have installed Bonjour for Windows, but don’t
see the Bonjour toolbar icon, you may need to “unlock” and expand the toolbars to
see it.
Accessing the MVP-9000i via Zero-Configuration
From any computer or Netbook that has access to the MVP-9000i’s LAN, open a W eb browser and type the IP
address of the target device in the Address Bar.
The default state of the MVP-9000i allows any one user with the device’s IP address
to access the device. This access status may be changed by setting a password
through the G4 Web Control Settings page (please refer to the G4 Web Control
Settings Page section on page 95 for more information), which then prompts the user
to enter the password when accessing the device.
Enabling and Disabling Zero-Configuration Capability
Zero-Configuration capability may also be shut off on the NMVP-9000i at any time. To enable or disable
Zero-Configuration networking for the device:
1. From the Setup pages, press the Protected button and enter the Protected Setup password (page 66).
2. In the Protected Setup page, press the Options button.
3. In the System & Panel Options page, press the Zero Config toggle. This will switch back and forth
between On and Off.
4. When finished, press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page and save your change.

FIG. 71 Wireless Security: Simple Mode - WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK security is designed for environments where using WPA or WPA2 is desirable, but an 802.1x
authentication server is not available. PSK connections are more secure than WEP and are simpler to
configure, since they implement dynamic keys but share a key between the AP and the panel (client).
Using WPA-PSK, the encryption on the AP could either be WPA or WPA2. The firmware in the panel will
automatically connect to the AP using the correct encryption. The WPA encryption type is configured on the
AP, not in the firmware.

FIG. 73 Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode - EAP-LEAP
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both
wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also
known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length strings as inputs. An
on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was de veloped to transmit authen tication 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.
EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate
validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.
EAP-LEAP
SSID (Service Set Identifier): Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP.
The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on

• With EAP security, the SSID of the AP must be entered. If it is lef t blank, the
panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
detected AP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.
Identity: Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter an EAP Identity string (used by the
panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server).
Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured

EAP-F A ST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) security was designed for wireless environments
where security and ease of setup are equally desirable. EAP-FAST uses a certificate file, however it can be
configured to download the certificate automatically the f irst time the panel attempts to authenticate itself.
Automatic certificate downloading is convenient but slightly less secure, since its the certificate is transferred
wirelessly and could theoretically be “sniffed-out”.

PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed as a way to securely transmit
authentication information, such as passwords, over a wireless network environment. PEAP uses only serverside public key certifica te s and therefore does not need a client (panel) certificate which makes the
configuration and setup easier .
There are two main versions of the PEAP protocol supported by panel’s DeviceScape Wireless Client:
PEAPv0
PEAPv1
PEAP uses inner authentication mechanisms supported by the DeviceScape Wireless Client, the most common

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 AP 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 AP.
EAP-TTLS
SSID (Service Set Identifier): Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target AP.
The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels on
that network. An SSID is required by the AP before the panel is
permitted to join the network.
• The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
• Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network.
• With EAP security, the SSID of the AP must be entered. If it is lef t blank, the
panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
detected AP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.
