Chapter 4: Troubleshooting
If your system does not operate correctly at first, re-read the instructions regarding the procedure being
performed. If problems occur with third party software, consult the accompanying documentation.
Please check this section for possible solutions. If the problem still cannot be resolved, contact your
authorized dealer.
Initial Inspection
Oftentimes the simplest things can cause the most confusing errors. Always check the following:
1. The power cord is securely connected to both the AC outlet and your Panel Touch.
2. The Panel Touch is turned on.
Peripherals
Configuration Problems
If one or more of your peripherals is not working correctly, it often can be the result of an improper
configuration either with the device driver or the BIOS. To check device drivers, enter Windows and check
the Control Panel for possible conflicts. Default IRQ settings are included in appendices. Enter the BIOS
program to verify the configuration settings
Connection Problems
If you are having problems with your peripherals and have checked the possible solutions above, the
connection between your Panel Touch and the peripheral may be the problem. Verify the cable signal
output.

Optional Magnetic Stripe Reader
MSR213U is a HID Keyboard emulation device. It accepts keyboard input from Windows applications.
Reader Test
The following process will test MSR213U installation.
1) Run the Notepad application from Start ? Programs ? Accessories ? Notepad under Windows
2) Swipe any card through the reader MSR213U.
3) The card data should appear on the Notepad if the MSR213U installed properly.
Changing Configuration
The MSR configurations can be changed through software installed on the system. They are factory preset
and normally do not need to be changed by the user.
To enter the setting mode:
• Connect keyboard to your MP5000 computer.
• Run .MSR213U setting AP
• Follow instructions on the screen to change settings.

Optional 2x20 LCD Character Display
The 2x20 character display is an alpha numeric LCD with back light. It is driven by a serial interface
controller and normally set at COM4. The board receives control and character codes which are then
displayed on the LCD. This is a receive-only device.
Power-Up Initialization:
Upon power-up, the controller goes into its initialization sequence. The board is designed to initialize in
two states: (1) the physical power up, then (2) the software power up. After 250mS, the board is ready to
receive software power up. YOU MUST SEND THE BOARD A CLEAR SCREEN COMMAND (HEX
0C) TWO TIMES AT HALF SECOND INTERVALS. This will initialize the controller completely. The
LCD display is NOT hot pluggable or hot swappable!
