10" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Introduction

The NXD-1000Vi Modero Widescreen Color Video Touch Panels with duplex intercom (FIG. 1) are the industry’s first widescreen mini-touch panels and are available only through AMX.

Introduction

FIG. 1 Sample 10" Video Touch Panel

These Color Video (CV) panels display NTSC/PAL/SECAM video formats within variable sized windows. They include a built-in microphone, speaker, audio/headphone connector, and two NetLinx programmable pushbuttons (available on NXD models only when mounted with included Button Trim Ring).

Each panel is sold only as part of a 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. NXD-1000Vi panels are ideally suited for displaying full motion video and audio with overlay graphics for applications with demanding visual requirements.

 NXD-1000Vi panels display eye-catching images and full-motion video on a large 16:9 image

format, while providing a wide 95-degree top-to-bottom viewing angle.

 NXD-1000Vi panels feature a front panel light sensor, motion sensor, IR receiver and a Sleep/

Setup Access combo button.

10" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Introduction

 NXD-1000Vi panels are field upgradeable to 802.11g communication via the installation of

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

 NXD-1000Vi 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 NXD-1000Vi 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.

 NXD-1000Vi panels feature programmable firmware that can be upgraded via either the

Ethernet port, wireless interface card, or the mini-USB port.

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.

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)

10" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box

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.

NXD-1000Vi Touch Panel Accessories

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.

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

700Vi, 1000Vi, 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 700Vi, 1000Vi, 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).

Pre-Wall Installation of the Conduit 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 Conduit Box (CB-TP10). The back box is only removed to gain access for the replacement of the internal components.

INSTALLER: LEAVE A GAP BETWEEN THE STUD AND CONDUIT BOX MOUNTING TABS TO ACCOMMODATE THE DRYWALL or SHEETROCK. This gap allows the installation of the drywall or sheetrock after the CB-TP10 Conduit Box has been installed.

The CB-TP10 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 conduit box is that the NXD1000Vi Mounting Tabs must lie flush against the outside of the sheetrock (FIG. 20).

 Refer to SP-2259-02 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-1000Vi Wall Mount panel

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

1. Rest the right Stud Mounting tabs onto the stud (keeping the knockouts on the left). Be sure to

leave enough of a gap between the stud and NXD Mounting tabs to accommodate the

Wiring Guidelines for the NXD-1000Vi Panels

NXD-1000Vi 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 power requirements information (page 3) 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 for use 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. 26).

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.

Before selecting Ethernet as the Master Connection Type you must setup the parameters of the wireless card. The Wireless Access Point communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed

wireless CF card inside the panel.

The panels allow users to connect to a wireless network through their use of the pre-installed AMX

802.11g wireless interface card to communicate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA-WAP200G). 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 205.

For more information on utilizing the AMX Certificate Upload Utility in conjunction with the EAP security, refer to the section of the document entitled: Appendix B - Wireless Technology section on page 205.

Configuring a Wireless Network Access

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.

Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings

The first step to successfully setting up your internal wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on the Wireless Settings page. The section configures the communication parameters from the panel to the web.

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

(FIG. 35).

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.

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

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

In the Protected Setup page:

1. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page.

2. Navigate to the Access Point MAC Address section of this page and press the on-screen

Site Survey button. This action launches the Site Survey page which displays a listing of all detected WAPs in the communication range of the internal card.

 The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new WAPs found to the list.

Every scan cycle updates the signal strength field.

 Access points are tracked by MAC Address.

 If the WAP’s SSID is set as a blank, then N/A is displayed within the SSID field.

 If the WAP’s SSID is hidden (not broadcast) it will not show up on the site survey

screen but it can still be configured via the SSID field on the specified security mode screen.

 If a WAP is displayed in the list is not detected for 10 scans in a row it is then

removed from the screen. In this way, a user can walk around a building and see access points come and go as they move in and out of range.

Sort the information provided on this page by pressing on a column name and toggling the direction of the adjacent arrow.

 Up arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Ascending order.

 SSID (A to Z), Channel (1 to 14), Security (Unknown to WEP), Signal (None to

Excellent). The firmware considers the following to be the security order from least secure to most secure: Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and Unknown.

 Down arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Descending order.

 SSID (Z to A), Channel (11 to 6), Security (WEP to Unknown), Signal (Excellent

4. Select a desired Access Point by touching the corresponding row. The up arrow and down arrow

will be grayed out if there are ten or less access points detected. If there are more, then they will be enabled as appropriate so that the user can scroll through the list.

5. With the desired WAP selected and highlighted, click the Connect button to be directed to the

selected security mode’s Settings page with the SSID field filled in. You can then either Cancel the operation or fill in any necessary information fields and then click Save.

If you select an Open, WEP, and WPA-PSK Access Point and then click Connect, you will be flipped to the corresponding Settings page. For any other security mode, if you click Connect you will only return to the previous page without any information being pre-filled out for you.

Step 2: Configure the Card’s Wireless Security 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.

The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page. This 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.

Refer to either the Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview section on page 44 or the Appendix B - Wireless Technology section on page 205 for more information on the other security methods.

Once you have set up the wireless card parameters, you must configure the communication parameters for the target Master; see Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode section on page 55.

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 given 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.

 One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arise because the

SSID was not entered properly. You must maintain the same case when entering this information. ABC is not the same as Abc.

 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.

10" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels

Configuring Communication

 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.

5. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 42) 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.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG. 43), 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. 44).

9. 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. 44).

10. 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. 44), enter the characters and press Done when finished.

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

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 41.

The latest NXD-1000Vi firmware kit file is now panel-specific. Only NXD-1000Vi 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 43 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 USB Driver will cause a failure in the USB driver installation.

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.

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

continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.

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

page.

4. Toggle the blue Ty pe field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB.

the panel’s connection type must be set to USB prior to rebooting the panel and prior to inserting the USB connector.

7. ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page, THEN insert the mini-USB connector into

the Program Port on the panel. It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a signal to the PC (indicated by a green System Connection icon).

8. Navigate back to the System Settings page.

Step 2: Prepare NetLinx Studio for communication via the USB port

Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx

Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).

2. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master

Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 56).

 If a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection icon still does not turn green,

If the G4 panel does not appear, refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 217 for more information.

Step 3: Confirm and Upgrade the firmware via the USB port

Use the CC-USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-wire programming cable (FG10-5965) to provide communication between the mini-USB Program port on the touch panel and the PC. This method of communication is used to transfer firmware Kit files and TPD4 touch panel files.

A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active panel. Connection to a previously powered panel which then reboots, allows the PC to detect the panel and assign an appropriate USB driver.

1. Verify this direct USB connection (Type-A on the panel to mini-USB on the panel) is configured

properly using the steps outlined in the previous two sections.

2. With the panel already configured for USB communication and the Virtual Master setup within

NetLinx Studio, its now time to verify the panel is ready to receive files.
