The Logical Solution
The Touch Panel allows user-friendly access to the Thinklogical™ GUI for simple actions to be
made with the touch of the screen. The unit connects independently to a network and with a onetime configuration, the set-up is easily performed. The Touch Panel displays the Thinklogical™ GUI on a 5.7” LCD which allows control of the switching between source computer or video
entities and user display destinations (desktops, theaters, conference rooms, editing suites, control
consoles, video walls, biomedical imaging arenas, satellite mapping, etc). The Touch Panel is
available in a range of sizes, which allows flexibility and convenience among applications.

How to configure the server
1. Set up the IP address for the server
a. System -> Network -> ...
2. Decide on station names and ports
3. Edit stations.csv
a. Column headings always end with a colon (:)
b. The system ships with default names assigned to every physical port
c. One row will repeat “Source Category:” across multiple columns, with the category
names displayed below
i. (not all headings need a field below them, but every field requires a header
somewhere in the column above it.
ii. The order of the names decides the order the categories will be displayed in the GUI
Revision B JULY 2010

d. One row of headers will start with the header “Source Name:”. All rows beneath that
row describe source stations.
i. Each source station requires (insert example):
1. Source Name:
2. Chassis Name:
3. Primary Port: (this is the port that has the back channel)
4. (Optional) One or more Port: entries (in case of multi-headed image sources)
5. One or more Category: entries, for organizing stations (more about this later)
6. One or more Viewable: entries, with a group name in each entry, to define
which groups can view this source
7. One or more Takeable: entries, with a group name in each entry, to define
which groups can take control of the keyboard/mouse for this cpu from another
user
4. Decide on permissions and group names
5. Edit stations.csv, add group headings to stations
6. Decide on IP addresses for Touch Panels
7. Edit groups.csv
How to configure the Touch Panel
Each Touch Panel must be configured in order for it to talk to the server. The Touch Panels are
shipped from the factory configured and ready for set-up. Also, they do not lose their configuration
when disconnected or powered off. The only time the Touch Panel may need to be re-configured
is if it takes on a different use or is moved to a different network.
The following instructions need to be followed in order to reconfigure the Touch Panel.
A USB Keyboard and the IP address(es) chosen for the Touch Panel(s) during the
configuration of the server is(are) necessary to perform the Touch Panel configuration.
Note: A USB Keyboard and the IP address chosen during the server
configuration is necessary to perform the configuration of each Touch Panel.
Direct Configuration Set-Up:
1. Attach the USB keyboard to a USB port on the Touch Panel
2. Press Ctrl - Alt - F1 on the Touch Panel to go into text mode
3. When the login appears, type in the following:
username: root
password: emac_inc
Revision B JULY 2010
7
Remote Configuration Set-Up: Each Touch Panel is shipped with DHCP enabled by default
1. Attach one or more Touch Panels to a network with a DHCP server
2. Use “ssh” to access each Touch Panel in turn
3. When the login appears, type in the following:
username: root
password: emac_inc
To set up the network:
4. Type cd /etc/network
5. Using vi, edit “interfaces”
6. In the section for eth1,
a. modify dhcp line to say “static”
b. Insert a line “address 192.168.13.161” (with whatever IP address you‟ve chosen for this Touch Panel)
c. Add “netmask 255.255.255.0”
d. Save and exit
The completed interface file should look something like this after modification:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.13.171
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.13.1
To set the browser to find the server:
7. Type cd/etc/network
8. Using vi, edit “homepage” (a single line file that, by default reads:
“http://192.168.13.9/touch)
a. Change the IP address to match that of the web server machine
b. Save and exit
The files have now been configured, but the Touch Panel will not use them yet:
9. Type “sync”
10. Type “reboot”

The Touch Panel will blank its screen and reboot with new values.
If you are using the Remote Configuration method on multiple Touch Panels, watch to see which
panel blanks and reboots so you can tell which one you‟ve just configured and label it with the
proper IP address.
Using the Touch Panel
Detail Screen
The Touch Panel will load the operating system, start the GUI, and get the updates from the
server. The following screen should display the GUI:
Figure 4: Touch Panel displaying the GUI
The Touch Panel starts up in “Detail” mode by default.
SOURCES are listed on the right (ex: CPU 01, CPU 02, CPU 03, CPU 04).
DESTINATIONS are listed on the left (ex: DESK 01, DESK 02, DESK 03, DESK 04).
The buttons shown at the bottom of the screen are command buttons which perform a task.
Connect will connect your destination to a source by pressing, where Take Mouse will „take the mouse‟ from all other connections and give it to the source/destination combination the user has
selected. You can also run Macros by clicking on the Macros button and then run the selected
Macro.

How to Make a Connection
When you click a source, it will highlight in a specific color. You can then click destinations (left
side) to make connections. If a source is still selected, then additional connections to that source
port can still be made by clicking on destination ports. Selections will remain if you need to „Page Up‟ or „Page Down‟ to show other sources and/or destinations. You may deselect the source port
by simply touching it.
1. Select CPU 01. It will become selected and highlight blue.
2. Select DESK 03. Instead of immediately being connected to CPU 01, it will also become
selected and will highlight blue.
Figure 5: How to Make a Connection, Steps 1 and 2.
3. Press the Connect button at the bottom, left side. The connection is made and is shown
by the „X‟ highlighting blue. By default, the mouse is assigned to this first connection.
The mouse is indicated by the Mouse icon to the right of CPU 01.
Revision B JULY 2010

5. Press Connect again, and now it is connected as well, indicated by the highlighted X.
Figure 8: How to Make a Connection, Step 5.
How to Break a Connection
From the Detail screen, you can break a connection. Pressing the X between a connected source
and its destination will break that connection.
1. Click on the X between the Source and Destination you wish to disconnect. CPU 01
and DESK 04 are no longer connected as shown in the screen in Figure 8.
Revision B JULY 2010

Figure 9: How to Break a Connection, Step 1.
Showing the Active backchannel on the Touch Panel
Unlike video connections, data connections are bidirectional, to and from a source computer.
Although there can be many connections from a source computer, there can only be one
connection to a source computer. This connection back to the source computer, called the
backchannel, allows a keyboard, mouse, and other devices to communicate with the source
computer. The GUI interface marks the backchannel by showing a Mouse icon to the right of
the source.
How to Move a Backchannel from a Data Port (Take the Mouse)
From the Detail screen, you can move the backchannel to another destination, also known as
„Take the Mouse‟. Figure 9 shows a source (CPU 01) connected to 2 destinations (DESK 03 and
DESK 04). DESK 03 has the backchannel to CPU 01. The backchannel is represented by the
mouse icon.
1. Click on a destination that already is connected but does not have the mouse (ex: DESK
04). The destination (DESK 04) will highlight.
Revision B JULY 2010
13
Figure 10:DESK 03 has the backchannel to CPU 01; it‟s represented by the mouse icon.
DESK 04 is connected to CPU 01 and is selected.
2. Press „Take Mouse‟. The mouse icon will move to the new destination (DESK 04) and is
now a backchannel.
Figure 11: DESK 04 is now the backchannel.
Revision B JULY 2010
14
Scenario (Macro) Screen
A second page available on the Touch Panel is “Scenario”, selected by the tab at the top. From
this page, Scenarios (or Macros) can be executed.
Macros can be used to perform multiple functions at the same time. If there is a series of
commands that must be performed again and again, a macro can do this with a single click.
Macros are small scripts that can be run from the web browser. They can connect ports, connect
"stations" (collections of ports, also sometimes known as "groups"), disconnect ports and stations,
and even execute other macros. The user is not allowed to create, edit, or delete macros
from the Touch Panel.
Pressing the Scenario (Macro) button (top, towards the right) takes the panel to „Scenario‟ (Macro)
mode with the following display:
Figure 12: The Scenario (Macro) screen
The example in Figure 11 shows two Scenarios (Macros) displayed, named “Macro 1” and “Macro 2”. Each scenario (macro) is executed immediately when its button is pressed.
Note: The user is not allowed to create, edit, or delete macros from the Touch
Panel.
