the baud rate is at 38400 (Cresnet speed) or lower. Otherwise, the Viewport may post the "Transfer Failed" message.
6 These control systems do not support loading of firmware or VT Pro-e files to the TPS-series panels
through the RS-232 port of the control system. In order to load these files to the TPS-5000L when using these control systems, either use the RS-232 port on the TPS-5000L or use Ethernet direct to the panel (assuming the TPS-ENETL is installed).
7 WAV files reside in the touchpanel’s Flash memory and will affect the amount of available space for
touchpanel screens.
8 Additional Flash memory can be purchased, refer to "Memory" on page 6. The complexity of the
control screens and the sampling of the WAV files influence memory usage.

Industry Compliance

As of the date of manufacture, the touchpanel have been tested and found to comply with specifications for CE marking and standards per EMC and Radiocommunications Compliance Labelling (N11785).
NOTE: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Setup

Network Wiring

NOTE: When installing network wiring, refer to the latest revision of the wiring diagram(s) appropriate to your specific system configuration, available from the Downloads | Product Manuals | Wiring Diagrams section of the Crestron website (www.crestron.com).
When calculating the wire gauge for a particular Cresnet run, the length of the run and the power factor of each Cresnet unit to be connected must be taken into consideration. If Cresnet units are to be daisy-chained on the run, the power factor of each network unit to be daisy-chained must be added together to determine the power factor of the entire chain. The length of the run in feet and the power factor of the run should be used in the following resistance equation to calculate the value on the right side of the equation.
Resistance Equation
40,000
Where:
R <
L x PF
The required wire gauge should be chosen such that the resistance value is less than the value calculated in the resistance equation. Refer to the table after this paragraph.

NOTE: All network wiring must consist of two twisted pairs. One twisted pair is the +24V conductor and the GND conductor. The other twisted pair is the Y and Z conductors.
NOTE: When daisy-chaining Cresnet units, strip the ends of the wires carefully to avoid nicking the conductors. Twist together the ends of the wires that share a pin on the network connector, and tin the twisted connection. Apply solder only to the ends of the twisted wires. Avoid tinning too far up the wires or the end becomes brittle. Insert the tinned connection into the Cresnet connector and tighten the retaining screw. Repeat the procedure for the other three conductors.
NOTE: For larger networks (i.e., greater than 28 network devices), it may become necessary to add a Cresnet Hub/Repeater (CNXHUB) to maintain signal quality throughout the network. Also, for networks with lengthy cable runs, it may be necessary to add a Hub/Repeater after only 20 devices.

Identity Code

Every equipment and user interface within the network requires a unique Cresnet identity code (NET ID). These codes are recognized by a two-digit hexadecimal number ranging from 03 to FE. Refer to “Interface Menu” on page 10 for instructions on setting the unit's NET ID. The NET ID of the unit must match the NET ID specified in the SIMPL Windows program. Refer to “Setting the Net ID in Device Settings” on page 25 for information about changing the ID in a SIMPL Windows program.
MAIN MENU
This menu can also be obtained via digital reserved join number, 17242.

Configuring the Touchpanel

NOTE: The only connection required to configure the touchpanel is power. Refer to “Hardware Hookup” on page 16 for details.
To configure the unit, it may be necessary to access a series of setup screens prior to viewing run-time screens that are loaded into the touchpanel for normal operation. The MAIN MENU for configuring the touchpanel appears when a finger is held to the touchscreen as power is applied. Remove your finger when the message “SETUP MODE” appears on the touchscreen.
NOTE: The SETUP MODE can also be accessed through the Viewport Utility if the touchpanel is connected directly to a PC.
Upon entering SETUP MODE, the MAIN MENU, shown to the left, displays four buttons: Touch Screen Calibration, Exit and Run Program, Setup, and Diagnostics.
The Exit and Run Program button verifies that all of the setup information has been saved to EEPROM and displays the main page that has been programmed into your system. The remaining buttons on the MAIN MENU open other menus, which are discussed in subsequent paragraphs.

The user has the option to manually select the incoming format or have the touchpanel detect one automatically. On the rare occasion, the user may want to choose the Manual Select button to force an incoming format. Otherwise, choose the Auto Detect button to have the touchpanel automatically determine the format of the input signal.
NOTE: Refer to the latest revision of the TPS-XVGAL Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 5945) for signal format specifications.
The characteristics of the input signal are displayed centrally on the right side of the RGB Menu. For example, in the previous illustration, the input signal has a resolution of 1024 x 768 with a frequency of 60.9 KHz (horizontal) and 76.1 Hz (vertical).
While viewing the sample of the input signal, use the double arrow buttons to the left and then the other set of double arrow buttons to position and compress/expand the sample so that it fills the entire screen. Also, use the Phase Rev and Phase Fwd buttons to adjust the timing of the sample. The Recenter button only needs to be used if the sample disappears from the screen while making adjustments with the double arrow buttons.
The touchpanel is capable of storing 16 VGA formats; the panel is factory set with the presets empty. Select SAVE Menu to open the Preset Menu, as shown below. To assign a format to a preset, complete the following steps:

The Clear All Presets button eliminates the formats for all presets. The touchpanel prompts the user for confirmation.
NOTE: If no presets are stored or the input does not closely match a stored preset, the panel makes a 'best guess' for image settings.
Select the Return button, located at the lower right corner of the RGB Menu, after RGB parameters have been set.

However, only two composite video channels can be selected for viewing. Refer to the latest revision of the TPS-VIDL-1/VIDL-2 Operations & Installation Guide (Doc. 6070) for details.
