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.

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

Introduction

NXD-1200V (front view)

NXT-1200V (front view)

AMX has taken a great leap forward with the release of their new 1200V-Series of Modero touch panels. These panels offer the ability to display Composite video, 802.11g communication, and USB support for extended input devices, and panel programming via a mini-USB port. The new G4 graphics and Video technology is supported by the release of the latest TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program. These video-capable panels support several video formats: NTSC, SECAM, and PAL (Color Active (CA) panels don’t support video).

Each 1200V-Series panels have been pre-installed with 2 antennas which can be later used to configure each panel type for wireless communication (via an optional NXA-80211G wireless mini-PCI card).

Modero Video Touch Panels (1200V-Series)

The new and enhanced line of 12" Modero Touch Panel (NXT/NXD-1200V) represent the next step in videocapable panels and departs from the previously popular CA version. In addition to Composite/S-Video support (does not support Component RGB signals), the new 1200V panels feature dual USB connectivity for mouse and keyboard, and antennas, the use of a mini-USB port for panel programming and a complete departure from the use of an ICSNet connector for communication. These panels include a built-in microphone, left/right speakers, audio/headphone connector, and an included audio/video breakout box.

Table Top models use AMX’s exclusive SmoothTilt angle.

Each panel is sold only as part of a 1200V 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, data, and audio to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the breakout box. These panels are ideally suited for displaying full motion video and audio with overlay graphics for applications with demanding visual requirements. The following is a listing of the currently available 1200V panels:

Cleaning the Touch Overlay

You should clean the touch screen overlay after each day’s use. Always use clean cotton cloths and a spray bottle containing water.

Connecting and Using Input Devices

The 1200V panel can have up to two USB-capable input devices connected for use on its different firmware and TPD4 panel pages. These input devices can consist of a keyboard or mouse.

USB-connected input devices are not detected and recognized by the panel until power is cycled to the unit.

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

1. Insert the input device USB connectors into the appropriate USB connector on the panel.

2. Press the on-screen Reboot button from the Protected Setup page to save any changes and restart the

panel.

3. After the panel splash-screen disappears:

The breakout box unit can be mounted on either a horizontal flat surface or into an equipment rack (by removing the front screws and attaching it to an optional AC-RK). The power supply being used on the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET is dependant on the power requirements of the target touch panel.

Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide both communication and 10/100 network connectivity between the panel, NXA-AVB/ETHERNET, NetLinx Master, and the network.

Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET connectors and cables

The inputs and outputs on the breakout box are separated into front and rear connectors. The rear connectors are used to input external signals. The front connectors are used to communicate signals between the NXAAVB/ETHERNET and a target Modero panel. FIG. 6 provides a layout of the wiring connection both into and from the breakout box.

FIG. 6 NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box connector wiring diagram

The rear-panel wiring connections are described below (from left to right):

• AUDIO IN: 6-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into left and right audio channels. Each channel is divided into GND, IN+, and IN- terminal cable connectors (2 sets of 3 for each channel).

An example of this cable is to strip the ends of 2 RCA audio cables and insert them into their respective locations on the Audio In port.

Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio signal can be connected to this input.

• MIC OUT: 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into GND, OUT-, and OUT+ terminal connectors.

An example of this cable is to strip the terminal ends of a 3.5mm mini-jack and insert them into their respective locations on the Mic Out port. This signal can be fed as a Line Level In to either an amplifier or an AMX VOL card.

• PWR: 2-pin mini-Phoenix connector that connects to a 12 VDC-compliant power supply. This port can be used to provide power to a Modero panel by sending it through the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET (rear power connector through to the front power connector).

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. 7) to configure an unbalanced audio connection.

FIG. 7

When using unbalanced audio for the AUDIO IN connector (FIG. 7), 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. 7), 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:

When connecting the MIC OUT connector to a balanced audio input (FIG. 8), 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.

Wiring the rear AUDIO IN and MIC OUT for use with Unbalanced Audio

• X = Ground

• L = Live (Hot)

• R = Return (Cold)

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 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. 44).

FIG. 44 NetLinx power connector wiring diagram

1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix cable.

Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.

2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the

threads and damage the connector.

3. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix to the power supply.

(FIG. 53) and begin configuring the communication settings on the panel to match those of the target Master.

FIG. 53 System Settings page

There are 2 possible Master Connection Types available: USB or Ethernet. A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master). An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via an Ethernet connection to the network.

Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct 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.

The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into an already active panel before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver. This driver is part of the latest TPDesign4 software application installation.

Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master

NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel is then configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master.

For a personal computer to establish a connection to a Modero panel via USB, the target computer must have the appropriate AMX USB driver installed. This installation is bundled into the latest TPDesign4 software setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on www.amx.com.

Step 1: Setting up the Panel and PC for USB Communication

If you do not currently have the latest version of TPDesign4, navigate to www.amx.com > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Design Tools section of the website and locate the AMX USB Driver executable (AMX USBLAN Setup exe).

2. Download this executable file to a known location on your computer.

3. Launch the file by double-clicking on it and follow the on-screen prompts to complete your installation.

Note that even if you have loaded the latest AMX Studio or TPD4 software, you will still need to download and install this file if you are working with either the 1200V-Series or VG-Series of panels.

4. Choose the default language, agree to the Licensing information, and choose the location for the file

installations (C:\Program Files\AMX\USBLAN).

5. From within the Choose Components dialog, select the features you wish to install. The Driver option is

selected by default and is the only item required.

6. Click the Install button to continue with the installation.

7. Once the application begins the installation of the corresponding USB driver files, it may encounter cases

where previous versions of these files already exist. This can occur if you have previously installed released versions of NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4.

If you are prompted to replace the AXBLAN.INF file, select YES. If you are prompted to replace the Checked driver file, select NO. If you are prompted to replace the AXBLAN.SYS and AXFILT.SYS files, select Ye s.

8. Continue the setup process by following these OS-related processes:

For machines running Windows 2000 simply click the Next button when the installation is

complete. Creating a restore point is not an available option in 2000.

For Windows XP machines the setup program asks if you would like to create a restore point. It is

always a good idea to create restore points prior to installing new software. Click the Next button when done.

9. At the end of the installation, press the Finish button.

Step 2: Confirming the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC

The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC it is detected as a new hardware device and the USBLAN driver becomes associated with it (panel specific). Each time thereafter the panel is "recognized" as a unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background. When the panel is detected for the first time some user intervention is required during the association between panel and driver.

1. 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.

If the panel is already powered, continue with steps 3. The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.

2. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on the

rear/side of the touch panel and then apply power.

3. 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.

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

(FIG. 54).

FIG. 54 System Settings page - using a USB Connection Type

5. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB. Refer to

the System Settings Page section on page 107 for more information about the fields on this page.

ALL fields are then greyed-out and read-only, but still display any previous network information.

6. Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.

7. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that the

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

8. 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). If this is your first time installing the USB driver, a USB driver installation popup window (FIG. 55) then appears on the screen.

Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

FIG. 55 USB driver installation popup window

This window notifies you that the panel has been detected by the PC as a USB-compliant device

and the PC is installing an appropriate USB driver to establish a proper communication to the panel.

The driver does not contain a Microsoft

digital signature and Windows® then informs you of such.

9. Click Ye s when told that a digital signature was not found. This action accepts the installation of the new

USB driver. The panel is now configured to communicate directly with the PC.

This process completes the association between driver and device.

Each time the same touch panel is connected to the computer the driver is automatically loaded (using a unique name - example USB LAN LINK #1, #2). Each time a different touch panel is connected to the computer, the previous procedures will need to be repeated.

The previous version of the AMX USBLAN driver showed a USB connection icon in the system

tray when a panel was connected. The new version of the driver does not show an icon in the System Tray.

A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not connected to a physical NetLinx Master. In this situation, the PC takes on the functions of a Master via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This connection is made by either using the PC’s

Ethernet Address (via TCP/IP using a known PC’s IP Address as the Master) or using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate directly to the panel.

10. Navigate back to the System Settings page.

Step 3: Confirm and View the current AMX USB device connections

Navigate to Start > Settings > Control Panel > and double-click the System icon to launch the System

Properties dialog.

2. Select the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager button to launch the Device Manager dialog.

Within the Device Manager dialog, the AMX USBLAN device appears under Network Adapters

(FIG. 56) and has a unique name such as AMX USB LAN LINK #2. The number changes depending on which recognized panel is currently connected.

To remove the USB driver association from a previously connected touch panel, you must navigate back to the Device Manager, right-click on the panel’s USB driver (example AMX USB LAN LINK #2) and select Uninstall from the context menu and then OK.

Step 4: Using a USB to Configure a Virtual Master (using NetLinx Studio)

Once the system completes the removal of the device, the Device Manager window will refresh,

and the device will no longer appear.

The next time this device is connected to the computer it will appear as a new hardware device and

will need to be associated again with the driver (refer to Step 2: Confirming the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC section on page 49.

When configuring your panel to communicate via USB with a Virtual Master (on your PC), ONLY the USB connection option must be selected within the Type field. Since this is a direct connection, the PC’s IP Address is not needed.

Before beginning:

1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Settings page and that

the USB driver has been properly configured. Refer to the previous section for more information.

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

The Connection status turns green after a few seconds to indicate an active USB connection to the

PC (Virtual Master). No Lock icon is displayed because this USB connection is not secured (requiring a username/password).

If a few minutes have gone by and the System Settings icon still does not turn green, repeat the

USB connection and Virtual Master setup procedures (outlined in this section). Refreshing the System sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the communication (turning the System Connection icon green).

Step 5: Confirm and View the current AMX USB device connections

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.

Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

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

FIG. 58 Using USB for Virtual Master communication

Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview

IP Routing

The behavior of the wireless routing is largely dependent on the wired network interface. Although the panel can be connected to two networks simultaneously it may only have one gateway. If the wired network was successfully set up and a gateway was obtained; then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wired network. In the event that the wired network was not configured, then the default route for all network traffic will be via the wireless network. The wired network connection always takes priority.

As an example: Imagine a panel connected to two networks A & B. A is the wired network and B is the wireless network. If the Master controller is on either of these networks then it will be reached. However if the Master controller is on a different network, C, then determining which network interface (wired or wireless) that will be used is dependent on the gateway.

Hot Swapping

Hot swapping is not an issue on these panels as the card is installed within the unit and cannot be removed without first removing the housing.

In the case of DHCP, there must be a DHCP server accessible before the fields are populated.

Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

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.

Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXAPCI80211G AMX Wireless Card (FG2255-04) communicating to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA-WAP200G). In determining the Ethernet method of communication, the panel will always default first to the direct Ethernet communication. If no direct connection is detected, the panel will first check to see if there is an installed wireless interface card and then communicate to the WAP using the Wireless Settings assigned within the Wireless Settings page. The WAP communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless interface card installed within the panel.

Wireless Access Points are the cornerstone of any wireless network. A Wireless Access Point acts

as a bridge between a wired and wireless network. It aggregates the traffic from all the wireless clients and forwards it down the network to the switch or router. One Wireless Access Point may be all you need. However, you could need more Wireless Access Points depending on either how large your installation is, how it is laid out, and how it is constructed.

Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Security is a method by which WLANs protect wireless data

streams. A data stream encrypted with WEP can still be intercepted or eavesdropped upon, but the encryption makes the data unintelligible to the interloper. The strength of WEP is measured by the length of the key used to encrypt the data. The longer the key, the harder it is to crack.

802.11b implementations provided 40-bit and 104-bit WEP keys. This is known respectively as 64bit and 128-bit WEP encryption. 64-bit is generally not regarded as adequate security protection. Both key lengths are supported by the Modero product line. Whichever level of WEP you use, it's crucial to use identical settings (CASE SENSITIVE)--the key length, and the key itself-- on all devices. Only devices with common WEP settings will be able to communicate. Similarly, if one device has WEP enabled and another doesn't, they won't be able to talk to each other.

Although the calculations required to encrypt data with WEP can impact the performance of your wireless network, it's generally seen only when running benchmarks, and not large enough to be noticeable in the course of normal network usage.

Configuring a Wireless Connection

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: Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings

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

The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the unit will

attempt to connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned SSID value.

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 the SSID information. ABC is not the same as Abc.

8. Toggle the Authentication field to an Open System (default).

Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID matches

the WAP’s SSID.

The remaining Wireless Settings fields are then greyed-out and become read-only. All NXA-WAP200Gs are factory-shipped as an unsecured WAP with no WEP encryption. The WAP200G initial Status page will display the status of both the WEP and WPA (both disabled).

10. Verify the fields in the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1: Configuring the

Panel’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 55 for detailed information.

11. Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to

both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master.

12. After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal

Strength:

The signal strength field should provide some descri ptive text regarding the strength of the connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address displayed; configuration of your network could be required.

Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures.

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 provided 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. This is why we recommend creating the Current Key FIRST on the Modero and then entering that information into the appropriate WAP200G fields.

1. Power-down the Modero unit and follow the wireless card installation procedures outlined in Step 2:

Install the 802.11g mini-PCI Wireless Card section on page 16.

2. Power-up the panel (this allows it to detect the card).

3. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup

page and display an on-screen keypad.

4. Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field and press Done when finished.

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

6. Locate the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page (FIG. 61).

The bargraphs have been replaced with descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and

Excellent (FIG. 60).

When configuring touch panels for wireless communication, verify that no Ethernet connector is

installed within the panel before the unit is power cycled.

FIG. 61 Wireless Settings page (Wireless Settings section)

You must first take the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC Address information and then 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.

7. Touch the Network Name (SSID) field and from the Service Set Identifier keyboard, enter the SSID name

you will be using on your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive).

The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the unit will

attempt to connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned SSID value.

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 the SSID 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.

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.

8. Leave the Authentication field reading Open System (default).

Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID matches

the WAP’s SSID. An Open System is recommended for communication between Modero panels

and an NXA-WAP200G.

Shared Key Authentication requires that the panel and the Wireless Access Point have the same

WEP Key to authenticate.

9. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 61) until it reads WEP64 or WEP128. 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.

10. 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.

 These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.

11. 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 a 200G) generate the Current Key - Do not press the Generate button and continue with Step 14.

Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

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.

12. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG. 62), enter a character string or word (such as

AMXPanel) and press Done when you have finished.

This keyboard allows you to enter a Passphrase (such as AMXPanel) and then AUTOMATICALLY

generate a WEP key which is compatible only among Modero panels.

FIG. 62 WEP Passphrase Keyboard

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. 63).

FIG. 63 WEP Key # Keyboard

13. Write down this Current Key string value for later entry into your WAP’s WEP Key field (typically

entered without colons) and into the communicating panel’s Current Key field (FIG. 61).

14. 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. 63), enter the characters and press Done when finished.

This Key value corresponds to the Default WEP Key number used on the Wireless Access Point and

selected in the Default Key field described in the previous step.

If your target Wireless Access Point does not support passphrase key generation and has previously been setup with a manually entered WEP KEY, you must manually enter that same WEP key on your panel.

The signal strength field provides some descriptive text regarding the strength of the connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address displayed; configuration of your network could be required.

Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures.

Configuring multiple wireless Moderos to communicate to a target WAP200G

For each communicating touch panel, complete all of the steps outlined within the previous Configuring

the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G section on page 58.

Those procedures walk you through assigning an SSID, selecting a WEP encryption level, and

obtaining a Current Key string value for a specific WEP Key on a target panel.

2. Navigate back to the Wireless/Wireless Settings page on each panel.

3. Verify that all communicating Modero panels are using the same SSID, encryption level, Default Key #,

and an identical Current Key value.

As an example, all panels should be set to Default Key #1 and be using aa:bb:cc.as the Current Key

string value. This same Key value and Current Key string should be used on the target WAP.

4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 on each panel. Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for all

communicating Modero panels.

Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

It is 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. If you have previously established a wireless connection to the Internet you must still navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a Master).

If you have previously configured an internal wireless card for communication to the Internet, you do not need to configure the panel’s IP Settings fields and can skip the following Step 1.

Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wired IP Settings

There are only two available methods of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wireless (via an internal card) or Wired (direct Ethernet connection). If you are not using an internal wireless card, you can only configure the connection parameters through the System Settings page. This type of communication can be established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address (typically provided by your System Administrator).

IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet

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

2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.

Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields appear on the two separate System Settings and Wireless Settings pages; the

information populating these fields is identical.

If the information within one of these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both pages within the altered field. Example: Domain is altered on Wireless Settings page, the value is then also changed within the Domain field of the System Settings page.

3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP.

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

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

5. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.

6. Do not alter any of the 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.

This information can be found in either the: Workspace- System name > Define Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the Device Addressing/Network Addresses in the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog.

7. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page.

8. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel.

Step 2: Choosing a Master Connection Mode Setting

There are three Ethernet MODE settings used in the Master Connection section of the System Settings page. URL is the most common method.

Master Connection MODE options:

• URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or

any other Internet facility. In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it).

• LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from

its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client".

• AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number

(assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled. This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx Master manual for more detailed information.

Step 3: Configuring the Ethernet Connection Type

When using Ethernet as your communication method, the NetLinx Master must first be setup with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio or your System Administrator.

Before beginning:

1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate either through an Ethernet cable (connected from

either the panel to a valid Ethernet Hub) or to a wirelessly to the Wireless Access Point (WAP).

Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware.

2. Verify that the NetLinx Master is receiving power and is communicating via an Ethernet connection with

the PC running NetLinx Studio.

3. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on the

rear/side of the touch panel.

4. Verify the green Ethernet LED (from the rear Ethernet port on the Master) is illuminated (indicating a

proper connection).

5. Verify the yellow LED (from the rear Ethernet port on the Master) is blinking (indicating

communication).

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

to the Setup page.

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

Configuring Communication

NXD/T-1200V 12" Modero® Video Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel

Upgrading Modero Firmware

Before beginning the Upgrade process:

Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to 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 45.

Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher 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 47 for more detailed information about Ethernet or Wireless

communication.

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.

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.

Upgrading Modero Firmware

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 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.
