Preface

This is the User Guide for the DCT128 Exposé 8” colour touchscreen which has an 800 x 600 resolution and provides a cost-effective solution wherever a wall or panel mounted user interface is required. Exposé is based on a fanless Atom powered PC platform which has been specially configured by Tridium to enable easy set-up. The DCT128 uses a custom Linux OS running Firefox in kiosk mode; optimised for use with Niagara AX web-served graphical pages.

The DCT128 is equipped with a wired IP connection, and requires a 12Vdc supply (230V to 12V PSU is included). Exposé also includes Wi-Fi connectability, a camera and a speaker (these are currently not supported by NiagaraAX).

The front panel of Exposé is completely flat which makes it more visually attractive and easier to clean. It is IP64 compliant when used with the optional panel-mounting kit. The DCT120 can also be surface mounted on a wall, or flush-mounted using optional kits. These mounting options make Exposé suitable for a wide variety of uses in commercial and residential applications. The following main sections are in this document:

 “Compatibility and Installation”

Explains the touchscreen and JACE network architecture, software, licensing requirements, unpacking and mounting the touchscreen, limitations and known problems.

 “Quick Start”

Provides the procedure for setting up the touchscreen for Network, Target Station, Password, Time, Locale and Browser.

Exposé ID3000 FAQs

The following are frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Exposé: Q: As well as the touchscreen and its power leads, the carton also contains some CD’s and a multi core

cable with a USB plug and other connectors. What do I do with these?

A: You do not need them. They are not used in this Tridium implementation. In addition, the Exposé

touchscreen has a built-in camera, a microphone, some speakers, two USB ports, an RS-232 port, an RS-232/422/485 port, an audio output and wireless networking capabilities for Bluetooth 2.0 and

802.11 b/g. These are also not used nor supported in this Tridium implementation.

Q: I want to use the browser of the touchscreen to access the internet. How can I do this? A: You should not try to do this. In this Tridium implementation, the browser in the Exposé touchscreen is

designed to automatically connect to a preconfigured JACE station. The browser is not enabled to do anything else.

Q: Do I need a NiagaraAX license to use the Exposé touchscreen? A: No. The Exposé touchscreen connects to a JACE station with a browser and no extra licenses are

required.

Q: Will the touchscreen support both Px and Hx media? A: Yes. Both formats of NiagaraAX graphics media are supported.

Q: I notice that there are two Ethernet connectors on the touchscreen. Can I use either of them? A: Yes, either one of the Ethernet connections can be used. However, the touchscreen does not support

the use of them both simultaneously.

Unpacking the touchscreen

To unpack the touchscreen, follow these steps:

Note: The Exposé touchscreen has a protective plastic cover stuck to the screen. Only remove the

plastic cover after the touchscreen has been properly installed. This ensures the screen is protected during the installation process.

To Unpack the touchscreen

Step 1 Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of scissors to cut the seal on the top side of the external

box. Step 2 Open the external box. Step 3 Use box cutters, a knife or a sharp pair of scissors to cut the seal on the top side of the inner box. Step 4 Open the inner box. Step 5 Lift the touchscreen out of the inner box. Step 6 Remove both polystyrene ends, one from each side.

Note: The Exposé touchscreen is already installed with a Compact Flash memory card which allows it to

operate in this Tridium implementation. There are no user configurable settings inside the

touchscreen and therefore there is no need to remove the cover retaining screws.

Limitations and known problems

Limitations

Here are a number of limitations in the Exposé touchscreen:

Wireless not supported

Wireless networking through either the built in Bluetooth 2.0 or 802.11 b/g is not currently supported by this Tridium installation.

Settings authentication persistent

You are challenged to authenticate with a password before gaining access to the setup menu. However this authentication persists until the touchscreen is next restarted. You should be aware of this when leaving the touchscreen for others.

Known problems

Here are known problems of the Exposé touchscreen:

Changing from DHCP to Static addressing

If you have been using a DHCP assigned address on the Exposé, and then change to a Static address *without* specifying a default gateway, the IP configuration for the screen becomes corrupted and the unit becomes unusable. Before making the change you must ensure that a gateway address has been included even if the address is not planned to be used and may be deleted after the first Static address is added. This problem is present in version 1.0 of the firmware.
