Powering the MVP-TDS-9
The MVP-TDS-9 uses the PS-POE-AT High-Power PoE Injector (FG423-81) to provide direct power for the
MVP panel via a standard Ethernet connection, both for standard function and for charging its internal battery.
This also allows a wired Ethernet connection for the panel, and the panel may be used normally while docked
in the MVP-TDS-9 without the need for a wireless connection.
Use only the RJ45 plug on the included Ethernet cable with the MVP-TDS-9. Other
RJ45 plugs will not fit in the device’s jack, and attempting to use another plug may
damage the jack. If necessary, the cable may be spliced and shortened for special
installations.
For both Ethernet connection and for power for the MVP-9000i, the MVP-TDS-9 uses a special Ethernet cable
(FIG. 6) in order to connect to the PS-POE-AT.

Installing the MVP-WDS-9
Since the Wall Docking Station is intended to be affixed to a wall or other permanent structure, care must be
taken to ensure its proper installation to prevent potential damage to the MVP-9000i placed within.
Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #2
Phillips screwdriver.
Installing the Wall Docking Station and Plastic Back Box
The Plastic Back Box has two pairs of knockouts at the top of the box and four (4) lockdown wings attached to
the box with Phillips-head screws. For ease of installation, the interior of the box contains an “UP” arrow
pointing to the knockouts.
The optional CB-MVP-WDS9 Metal Rough-In Box is not required for installation of
the supplied Plastic Back Box, but it offers an extra level of support.
To install the Plastic Back Box:
1. Cut a hole into the wall or surface intended to hold the back box. The back box is sized 12 1/16 inches
(30.64 cm) long and 8 11/16 inches (22.07 cm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4” (6.4mm) smaller
in each dimension (FIG. 12). Use the included MVP-WDS-9 Wall Docking Station Template (68-596701) as an aid for hole placement and measurement.

Make sure to measure the size of the intended hole before starting to cut it. Cutting
the hole slightly smaller than the dimensions to allow for adjustments is highly
recommended.
2. Select the knockout to be removed from the top of the box. The box has two knockouts, at the top left and
the top right.
To assist with wiring, and to avoid mechanical stresses on the wire and the
mechanism of the Wall Docking Station, the top left knockout, when viewing the
device from the rear, is preferred for use for Ethernet installation. Use the top right
knockout for USB cable connection.

3. Connect the PS-POE-AT High-Power PoE Injector to a power source. Connect the PS-POE-AT to an
Ethernet switch on the network via one length of Ethernet cable and insert one length of Ethernet cable
for connection to the Wall Docking Station.
4. Run the Ethernet cable through the knockout into the back box. Pull out about six inches (15.25cm) of
cable into the back box to facilitate installation of the MVP-WDS-9.
5. Slide the plastic back box into the hole, being careful not to twist or pinch the cable, and set it flush with
the wall.
Make sure that all of the lockdown wings are folded into their slots before attempting to insert the
box.
For ease of installation, the inside of the box has the direction “UP” labeled for reference.
6. Extend the wings on the sides of the box by tightening the screws inside the box.
Not all of the wings must be extended to lock the box in place, but extending a minimum of the top
and bottom wings is highly recommended.
Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with the wall: this ensures that the
wing will tighten up against the inside of the wall.
Make absolutely certain that the box is in its intended position. Once the box
lockdown wings are extended within the box’s hole within the wall, removing the box
will be extremely difficult without damaging the wall in the process.
The maximum recommended torque to screw in the wings on the plastic back box is
5 IN-IBS [5(NI-CM)]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the wing screws,
such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the wings or damage the plastic
back box.
7. Attach the included snap-on ferrite to the Ethernet cable, as close to the RJ-45 connector as possible.
Attach the cable to the Ethernet Port (FIG. 13).

10. After fully seating the screws, wipe down the area around the screw holes with the alcohol prep pad from
the Installation Kit. Take a rubber foot and remove its adhesive backing. Put the foot, adhesive-side down,
in the slot surrounding the screw hole in the Wall Docking Station. Press down firmly to remove any air
bubbles from underneath the foot.
11. Install an MVP-9000i device by placing it into the interior compartment bottom-first. Press the top of the
touch panel until it is flush with the Wall Docking Station. The neodymium magnets will hold it in place.
12. To remove the MVP-9000i, unlock the touch panel (see the Unlocking the Touch Panel section on page 13
for more information) and wait for the touch panel to pull away from the Wall Docking Station. Once it
has been released, grip it by the top of the device, and pull it free from the Docking Station.

Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box
The optional metal rough-in box (FG038-13) is 11.97 inches (30.40cm) wide at its widest dimension (wider
than the bezel of the Wall Docking Station), and is only intended for pre construction installations (FIG. 14).
The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Docking Station’s plastic back box.
In order to guarantee a stable installation of the MVP-WDS-9, the distance between
the CB-MVP-WDS9 and the outer wall surface must be a minimum of .50 inches
(1.27cm) and a maximum of .1.50 inches (3.81cm).

Pre-Wall Installation of the CB-MVP-WDS9
1. Remove the rough-in box cover (A in FIG. 14) before installation of the Rough-In Box (B).
The cover MUST be removed before drywall installation. The cover may be
reinstalled after drywall installation using 4-40 screws (not included).
2. Fasten the CB-MVP-WDS9 rough-in box to the stud through the holes on the Stud Mounting Tabs, using
either nails or screws (not provided).
Ensure that the metal rough-in box is flush with the 2x4 studs. Any overhang will
affect the installation of the covering sheetrock, as well as affect the placement of the
Plastic Back Box.
3. Remove the appropriate wiring knockouts from the rough-in box to accommodate the cables being
threaded through to the MVP-WDS-9.
Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal rough-in box by
the resident electrician before continuing the installation.
4. Thread the incoming Ethernet and USB wiring through the knockouts. Using the left wiring knockouts
for USB connector cables and the right wiring knockouts for the LAN/PoE In cable is very highly
recommended with this installation. Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate installation of the
docking station.
5. Install the drywall/sheetrock before inserting the back box for the CB-MVP-WDS9.

6. Cut out the opening for the MVP-WDS-9 where the wall has been placed over the Rough-In Box. Cutting
out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the installation drawings, so that you can make
any necessary cutout adjustments, is very highly recommended.
Other MVP-WDS-9 installations
The Wall-Mounted Docking Station is designed to be installed in various different locations, such as into the
face of a wooden podium or the top of a table. Depending upon the ability to wire it to a power source, WallMounted Docking Stations may be installed on vertical or horizontal surfaces composed of such materials as
wood, brick, and glass.
Installing a Wall-Mounted Docking Station into a solid wall thicker than a standard thickness of sheetrock is
possible, but requires special preparation. If installing into a solid wall of concrete or rock, a recess must be
chiselled or cut out to match the size of the device. The box is sized 8.375 inches (21.27cm) long and 5.75
inches (14.60cm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4” (0.64cm) smaller in these dimensions. To facilitate
the full range of movement of the device’s components, the recess must be at least 2.69 inches (6.83cm) deep.
Ensure that the power cable has been installed in the wall and is accessible by the
installer before chiseling out the recess.
Instead of using the lockdown wings to secure the Plastic Back Box, standard
concrete screws may be inserted through the screw holes after removing the
lockdown wings.
However, drill the concrete screw holes into the wall before setting the screws into the
box, as excessive torque applied to the screws will damage the box.
To avoid this, the box may be installed with adhesive. Test an unobtrusive spot on the
back of the box with a sample of the adhesive to check for any adverse reactions
before installing the device.

One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arises because of an
improperly entered SSID. The same case must be maintained when entering this information. ABC
is not the same as Abc.
The alpha-numeric string is AMX by default, 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
the SSID is TECHPUBS, this word and the case within must match both the Network Name
(SSID) field on the touch panel’s Network Name SSID field and on the WAP’s Basic Wireless
Configuration page.
5. Toggle the button to the right of the Security Type field until it reads either 64 or 128.
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 the Wireless Access Point has been set to default key 4 (which was
01:02:03:04:05), the panel’s key 4 must be set to 01:02:03:04:05.
6. Choose a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches what will be used on the target.
The WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.
7. Verify that the fields within the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1:

need to return to the System Settings page after the reboot and configure the connection to a target Master.
9. After the panel restarts, return to the second page of the WiFi tab to verify the Signal Level Value and the
Signal Level.
The Signal Level Value field provides some value indicating regarding the strength of
the connection to a Wireless Access Point. Configuration of the network could be
required if there is no signal or no IP Address is displayed.

Signal Level Value:
This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
Access Point connection in real time.
SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is a measure of the relative strength of a wireless RF
connection. Given this value and the link quality above, you can determine the
noise level component of the SNR. For example, if signal strength is high but
the link quality is low, then the cause of the link degradation is noise. However, if
signal strength is low and link quality is low, the cause would simply be signal
strength.
Signal Level:
Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time.
• Even when link quality is at its lowest you still have a connection, and the
ability to transmit and receive data, even if at lower speeds.
Note: “Link Quality” and “Signal Strength” are applicable to RF connections
only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to communicate
with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.

“WEP” (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an 802.11 security protocol designed to
provide wireless security equivalent to wired networks.
• 64 enables WEP encryption using a 64 Bit Key Size. All packets are
transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• 128 enables WEP encryption using a 128 Bit Key Size. All packets are
transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the
number of bits required for the WEP encryption mode selected.
WEP Keys:
This feature provides another level of security by selecting up to four WEP
Keys.
Push any of the four buttons to open an on-screen keyboard. Both ASCII and

“Current Key” is displayed. Each Current Key corresponds to a WEP key.
This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to
re-enter that networks’ WEP key. It is also sometimes used to set up a
rotating key schedule to provide an extra layer of security.
Current Key:
Displays the current WEP key in use.
• When working with a single panel and a single WAP, manually entering the
Current Key from the WAP into the selected WEP Key is recommended.
• When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, generating a Current
Key using the same passphrase on all panels and then entering the
panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless Access Point is
recommended.
• Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the
keyboard initialization text.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to erase stored key information.
Authentication:
Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open (broadcast publicly) or
Shared (encrypted).
• An Open network allows connections from any client without authentication.
• A Shared network requires the client to submit a key which is shared by the
network WAP before it is given permission to associate with the network. In
this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.
In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require
the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the
network.

From the Security Modes options, press the Simple button to open the Wireless Security: Simple Mode page.
Scroll through the Security Type options to select WPA-PSK (FIG. 68).
FIG. 68 Wireless Security: Simple Mode - WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK security is designed for environments where using WPA or WPA2 is desirable, but an 802.1x
authentication server is not available. PSK connections are more secure than WEP and are simpler to
configure, since they implement dynamic keys but share a key between the WAP and the panel (client).
Using WPA-PSK, the encryption on the WAP could either be WPA or WPA2. The firmware in the panel will
automatically connect to the WAP using the correct encryption. The WPA encryption type is configured on the
WAP, not in the firmware.
WAPs do not display “WPA” or “WPA2” on their configuration screens:
WPA is normally displayed as TKIP.
WPA2 is normally displayed as AES CCMP.
The following fields are required: SSID and Password/Pass Phrase.
Enter the SSID of the WAP.
Enter a pass phrase with a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 63.

EAP Security & Server Certificates - Overview
The following EAP types all support a server certificate:
EAP-PEAP
EAP-TTLS
EAP-TLS
All three of these certificate-using security methods are documented in the following sections. EAP
Authentication goes a step beyond simply encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of credentials
be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network (FIG. 69). Please note that
no user intervention is necessary during this process, as it proceeds automatically based on the configuration
parameters entered into the panel.

FIG. 69 EAP security method in process
A server certificate file uses a certificate installed in a panel so that the RADIUS server can be validated before
the panel tries to connect to it. The field name associated with this file is Certificate Authority.
If a server certificate is used, it should first be downloaded into the panel and the Certificate Authority field
should then be set to the name of that certificate file. No file path should be used for this setting, as all
certificates are stored in a specific directory that the user cannot control or change. The most secure connection
method uses a server certificate.
If no server certificate will be used, this field should be left blank. If the field contains a file name, then a valid
certificate file with the same file name must be previously installed on the panel. Otherwise the authentication
process will fail.

FIG. 70 Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode - EAP-LEAP
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both
wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also
known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length strings as inputs. An
on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication information
securely in a wireless network environment.
LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates, and is therefore
one of the least secure EAP security methods. However, it can be utilized
successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.
EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate
validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.
EAP-LEAP
SSID (Service Set Identifier):
Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target
WAP.
The SSID is a unique name used by the WAP, and is assigned to all panels
on that network. An SSID is required by the WAP before the panel is
permitted to join the network.
• The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
• Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network.
• With EAP security, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
detected WAP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.
Identity:
Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter an EAP Identity string (used by the

FIG. 72 Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode - EAP-FAST
EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) security was designed for wireless environments
where security and ease of setup are equally desirable. EAP-FAST uses a certificate file, however it can be
configured to download the certificate automatically the first time the panel attempts to authenticate itself.
Automatic certificate downloading is convenient but slightly less secure, since its the certificate is transferred
wirelessly and could theoretically be “sniffed-out”.

• The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
• Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network.
• With EAP security, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the

Automatic PAC
Provisioning:
This selection toggles PAC (Protected Access Credential) Provisioning Enabled (automatic) or Disabled (manual).
• If Enabled is selected, the following PAC File Location field is disabled,
because the search for the PAC file is done automatically.
• If Disabled is selected, the user is required to manually locate a file
containing the PAC shared secret credentials for use in authentication. In
this case, the IT department must create a PAC file and then transfer it into
the panel using the AMX Certificate Upload application.
Note: Even when automatic provisioning is enabled, the PAC certificate is
only downloaded the first time that the panel connects to the RADIUS server.
This file is then saved into the panel's file system and is then reused from
then on. It is possible for the user to change a setting, such as a new Identity,
that would invalidate this certificate. In that case, the panel must be forced to
download a new PAC file.
To do this, set Automatic PAC Provisioning to Disabled and then back to
Enabled. This forces the firmware to delete the old file and request a new
one.
PAC File Location:
This field is used when the previous Automatic PAC Provisioning option has
been Disabled.
• When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen PAC File Location

configuration and setup easier.
There are two main versions of the PEAP protocol supported by panel’s DeviceScape Wireless Client:
PEAPv0
PEAPv1
PEAP uses inner authentication mechanisms supported by the DeviceScape Wireless Client, the most common

From the Security Modes options, press the Enterprise button to open the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode
page. Scroll through the Security Type options to select EAP-TTLS (FIG. 74).
FIG. 74 Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode - EAP-TTLS
TTLS (EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is an authentication method that does not use a client
certificate to authenticate the panel. However. this method is more secure than PEAP because it does not
broadcast the identity of the user. Setup is similar to PEAP, but differs in the following areas:
An anonymous identity must be specified until the secure tunnel between the panel and the Radius
server is setup to transfer the real identity of the user.
There is no end-user ability to select from the different types of PEAP.
Additional Inner Authentication choices are available to the end-user.
EAP-TTLS security is designed for wireless environments where the Radius server needs to validate directly
the identity of the client (panel) before allowing it access to the network. This validation is done by tunneling a
connection through the WAP and directly between the panel and the Radius server. Once the client is identified
and then validated, the Radius server disconnects the tunnel and allows the panel to access the network directly
via the target WAP.

wireless network by adding an additional level of security protocol via the use of a private key.
EAP-TLS
SSID (Service Set Identifier):
Opens an on-screen keyboard for entering the SSID name used on the target
WAP. The SSID is a unique name used by the WAP, and is assigned to all
panels on that network. An SSID is required by the WAP before the panel is
permitted to join the network.
• The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
• Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network.
• With EAP security, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
detected WAP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.
Identity:
Opens an on-screen keyboard for entering an EAP Identity string (used by
the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server).
Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured
server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string, which
is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation.
Typically, this is in the form of a username such as: jdoe@amx.com.
Certificate Authority:
When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen Certificate Authority (CA)
File Location keyboard, for entering the name of the certificate authority file
which is used to validate the server certificate.
This field is optional.
If a server certificate is used, it should first be downloaded into the panel and
the Certificate Authority field should then be set to the name of that certificate
file. No file path should be used for this setting, as all certificates are stored in
a specific directory that the user cannot control or change.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored network path information.

Client Certificate:
Opens an on-screen keyboard for entering the name of the file containing the
client (panel) certificate for use in certifying the identity of the client (panel).
• Refer to the Client Certificate Configuration section on page 85 for
information regarding Client Certificates and their parameters.
Private Key:
When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen Client Private Key File
Location keyboard for entering the name of the file containing the private key.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored network path information.
Private Key password:
This field should only be used if the Private Key is protected with a password.
If no password protection is associated with the Private Key, then this field
should be left blank.
• When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen Private Key Password
keyboard which allows you to enter an alpha-numeric password string.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored network path information.
Save/Cancel:
• Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the
previous page.
• Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.

Client Certificate Configuration
A client certificate can be configured by an IT department in several ways. The client certificate and private
key can both be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In addition, the file format used by
these files could be PEM, DER, or PKCS12. These formats are described later in this section. The following
table describes how to fill in the fields for each possible case.

AMX supports the following security certificates
PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)
DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12)
PKCS12 files are frequently generated by Microsoft certificate applications.
Otherwise, PEM is more common.
Certificate files frequently use 5 file extensions. It can be confusing because there is not a one to one
correspondence. The following table shows the possible file extension used for each certificate type:

Cache Settings Page
The options on the Cache Settings page (FIG. 81) allow setting and clearing of the flash memory cache, as
well as viewing the status of the current cache settings. The G4 graphics engine caches images to decrease load
time of previously viewed images. RAM caching is always enabled, and both static and dynamic images are
stored in the RAM cache as they are viewed. The size of RAM cache is automatically configured to take into
account available memory versus memory that may be needed by the panel later. As the RAM cache
approaches its maximum size, the oldest items in the cache may be discarded to make room for newer items. If
Flash caching is enabled, dynamic images that would have been discarded will actually be moved to Flash,
since retrieving images on Flash is typically faster than across a network, although it is slower than using a
RAM cache. Note that since static images are already stored on Flash, they are never moved to the Flash cache,
so Flash caching applies only to dynamic images. Images in Flash cache are moved back to RAM cache the
next time they are viewed. As the Flash cache approaches its maximum size, the least recently used items may
be discarded to make room for new items.

Upgrading Firmware
Upgrading Firmware
Overview
For the purpose of panel downloads, the MVP-9000i’s download procedure is not compatible with other AMX
panel devices. This is due to the unique configuration of the device.
The first major change from other AMX devices is that the MVP-9000i uses dynamic Setup Pages for its
displays. Instead of requiring a separate Setup Page project built within TPDesign 4, the MVP-9000i uses only
a single set of Setup Pages for all of its supported resolutions.
To enable a single Setup Page project to support all resolutions, this requires including images for the largest
supported resolution with the Setup Page project and scaling the images to fit for lower resolutions. This
modification would apply to state-level bitmaps and chameleon images; previously, image scaling has only
applied to dynamic images.
These features require a separate G4SupportFiles installation to be posted for download independently of the
TPDesign4, NetLinx Studio, and Visual Architect applications.
Programming the MVP-9000i requires the use of the latest versions of NetLinx Studio
and TPDesign 4, both available from www.amx.com.
The MVP-9000i uses a native RNDIS USB driver for USB-over-Ethernet communication. When the device is
connected to the downloading computer (see instructions below for more details), it creates a new LAN
connection, and the user will need to supply a static IP address for this to be enabled. To enter a static IP
address, the user must edit the properties of the TCP/IP interface of the connection itself. This driver is
included in the installation of the latest version of NetLinx Studio, available from www.amx.com.
Upgrading Firmware via USB stick
The MVP-9000i uses the CC-MINIUSB Mini USB to PC Cable Adapter (FG5967-20) for programming,
firmware updates, and touch panel file transfer between a PC and the target device (FIG. 88). If a programming
cable is not available, it may be purchased from www.amx.com. The Mini-USB port for the connector is
located on the left side of the device as viewed from the front.
FIG. 88 CC-MINIUSB MiniUSB to PC Cable Adapter
To upgrade the firmware on the MVP-90001 to the latest version:
1. Download the latest MVP-9000i firmware from www.amx.com and save it to a USB stick.
2. Turn on the MVP-9000i and allow it to boot up. For best results, connect the panel to its power source or
place it in a Table or Wall Docking Station.
3. Connect the male plug of CC-MINIUSB Cable Adapter to the mini-USB port on the MVP-90001, and
then connect the USB stick to the female USB port.
4. The MVP-9000i will automatically search the USB stick for the correct KIT file, and automatically
uploads the firmware.
If the MVP-9000i battery is at less than a 30 percent charge, the firmware upload will
automatically fail. For best results, before uploading the firmware, connect the panel
to its power source or place it in a Table or Wall Docking Station.

Upgrading Firmware
Upgrading Firmware Via NetLinx Studio
The MVP-9000i uses a 5-pin CC-USB (Type A) to Mini-B 5-Wire programming cable (FG10-5965) for
programming, firmware updates, and touch panel file transfer between a PC and the target device. If a
programming cable is not available, it may be purchased from www.amx.com. The Mini-USB port for the
connector is located on the left side of the device as viewed from the front.
Before beginning with this section, verify that the device is powered and the Type-A end of the USB connector
is inserted and secure in the PC’s USB port . The panel must be powered On before connecting the miniUSB connector to the panel. To guarantee that the upgrade is not interrupted by power loss, connecting the
device to a power source, such as inserting it into a Table Docking Station, before beginning the upgrade is
highly recommended.
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.
1. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x and select Settings > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu
to open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 89). If this is the first time the device needs to
be configured, refer to the Configuring Modero Firmware via the USB Port section on page 186.

is entered into the Master Connection section of the System Settings page and the
panel is restarted.
13. The OnLine Tree should now display the connection to the device. The Connection Status Icon on the
device may take up to five seconds to register the connection.
Step 3: Confirm and Upgrade the firmware via the USB port
Use the CC-USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-wire programming cable to provide communication between the miniUSB 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.
A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active panel.
1. Verify that the 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
Studio, refresh the Online Tree pane.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog window verifies active communication between the Virtual
Master and the panel, click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window (FIG. 92) to view the devices
on the Virtual System. The default System value is 1.
4. Right-click on the System entry (FIG. 92) and select Refresh System to re-populate the list. Verify the

A Special Note for Network Interface Connections
Due to any USB connection to your PC being made through a Network Interface Connection (NIC), Windows
will automatically make any new NIC connection the Primary connection. If this happens, the USB address of
12.0.0.x will show up across the PC’s network switches as the PC’s source address. In some cases, network
administrators will notice the NIC connection and reconfigure any PC that has connected to the MVP-9000i.
Business, college, and government installations are the type of installations that would be most affected, and
most home installations would not be affected.
To prevent the NIC connection from becoming the primary connection:
1. From the Windows Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel to open the Control Panel window.
2. In the Control Panel window, click on the Network Connections icon to open the Network Connections
window (FIG. 95)

Overview
You can program the MVP-9000i, using the commands in this section, to perform a wide variety of operations
using Send_Commands and variable text commands.
A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the Device: Port:
System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values and represents all Modero
panels).
Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero firmware, as well as the
latest version of NetLinx Studio and TPD4.
Animated Transitions
Animated transitions are used to add motion and effects to the transition from one page to another on a panel.
With existing panel firmware, page flip transitions occur with the new page immediately drawing over the
existing page on the screen. With animated transitions, the old page is moved, faded, or overdrawn from the
screen while the new page is drawn. These operations use the OpenGL hardware accelerator to ensure smooth
transitions.
Current panel firmware also supports animated buttons and popup page effects. This functionality is
unchanged.
In all cases, once the transition is triggered, the old page is frozen. For example, if the old page had an
animated button, the motion on that button would stop as soon as the transition is triggered. If there is motion
on the new page such as an animated button or even a popup effect, this motion will operate even while the
overall page itself is in motion as part of the transition.
Seven different classes of transitions are supported. Each transition class is described below. All of the
transition classes, with the exception of Page Curl, are commanded transitions. Once the transition is triggered,
it proceeds to completion. Page Curl can be interrupted and directed by the person touching the LCD as
described below.
Transition Classes
Slide
The current page slides off of the screen and the new page slides in until it completely
covers the screen and stops. There is no gap between pages, so if the page
backgrounds match, this effect can give the appearance of moving around on a canvas
that is larger than the physical screen size.
Slide with bounce
This is the same as a slide transition, but with a bounce effect added when the new page
reaches the edge of the screen across from where it originated.
Black glass
The existing page appears to move away from the viewer and off to the side. As soon as
it is completely off the screen, the new page moves in and toward the viewer from the
opposite edge of the screen. Both the old and new pages have a reflection on the bottom
that makes it appear that the page is sliding along black reflective glass.
Fade
The current page fades out while the new page fades in.
Page curl
The existing page appears to be peeled away like a sheet of paper, revealing the new
page underneath. The new page has a shadow effect, and a faint reversed impression of
the old page can be seen through the back of the paper being flipped. This transition can
be interrupted by the user by holding a finger on the LCD and moving it around. The
corner of the paper will follow the user's finger until released, causing the transition to
proceed to completion. For the best effect, the button that triggers the page curl effect
should be placed near the corner of the screen from which the page curl will originate.
Door with fade
The new page moves over the existing page like a door with a hinge at the edge of the
LCD. In addition, the new page is semi-transparent, allowing the old page to be seen
through until the transition is finished, at which point the old page has faded away.

109
Programming
Transition Classes (Cont.)
Center door with
fade
This transition operates as above, except that the hinge point is at the center of the LCD
rather than the edge.
The origin of the transition is the point on the LCD where the motion originates. In most cases, these locations
are the top, bottom, left and right of the screen. For example, a slide transition with a left origin will appear to
slide in from the left towards the right of the screen.
Slide, slide with bounce, door with fade and center door with fade can originate from the top, bottom, left and
right sides of the screen. Black glass can originate from the left or right. Fade does not need an origin since the
entire screen fades together. Page curl originates from the four corners of the screen: upper left, lower left,
upper right and lower right.
The transition time is the amount of time required for the transition to operate from start to finish. This value
can be specified from 0.3 seconds to 3.0 seconds in tenths of a second. If not specified, the default is 1.5
seconds.
Transition times are based on real world clock time and do not vary based on the speed of the processor or the
frame rate at which the display system is running.
Since the transitions require OpenGL hardware acceleration, they are not seen by the user on a VNC
connection. When a transition is triggered, the user will see a normal page flip to the new page on the VNC
connection, while the animated transition occurs as expected on the panel.
Transition Commands
^AFP
Flips to a page
with the specified
page name using
an animated
transition.
Flips to a page with the specified page name using an animated transition. If the page is
active, do not redraw the current page. If the page name is blank, flips to the previous
page.
Syntax: "'^AFP-,,,'"
Animation is one of the following strings: slide, sldBounce, blkGlass, fade, pgCurl, doorFade, cntrDrFade
If animation is blank or invalid, the page flip will occur without any animated transition
occurring.
Origin is a number representing one of the following values for where
the animated transition originates on the screen:
1 - center (currently unused)
2 - top
3 - bottom
4 - left
5 - right
6 - lower left
7 - lower right
8 - upper left
9 - upper right
If the origin is blank or invalid, the default is 5 (right).
Time is the transition time in tenths of a second which can vary from 3 (0.3 seconds) to 30
(3.0 seconds). Values above or below these values will be clamped. If the time is blank,
then the default is 1.5 seconds.
Example:
"'^AFP-MAIN,slide,5,10'"
Will transition to a page named MAIN using a slide effect from the right to the left and
taking 1 second to complete.

Programming
Touch Gesture Recognition
Gesturing refers to the act of moving a finger or stylus across the overlay and having the panel recognize and
process this motion as a gesture.
Once a gesture is detected, it is processed as another external button on the panel. This enables the user to
design pages that translate gesture operations into any functionality available to external buttons. In addition, a
gesture velocity is calculated and transmitted to the master along with the gesture type itself in a custom event
message. Nothing will be processed if the external button associated with this gesture has no page flip
operations programmed, is disabled, or has no values programmed for address, channel, level, string output or
command output. The custom event, however, is always transmitted.
The following seven gesture types are supported:
1. Swipe up
2. Swipe down
3. Swipe right
4. Swipe left
5. Clockwise circle
6. Counter-clockwise circle
7. Double-Tap
Gesture Velocity
A gesture “velocity” is calculated to represent the speed of the gesture. This is done by measuring the time
from when the user first presses the screen until they release. The following simplified velocities are supported
and transferred to the master in the custom event message:
1. Fast
2. Normal
3. Slow
A precise velocity is sent in the custom event message which represents the velocity in terms of pixels per
second for slides and circles. For a double tap, this value is the total time in milliseconds from the first press to
the second release.
Gesture Prioritization
It is important to prioritize the operation of the presses, moves and releases of the user to avoid confusion over
what the user intended. The following process is used to determine what the user meant whenever a gesture
operation is defined globally or for this page.
Gesture Prioritization
The user presses outside of a button or
slider and moves before releasing.
The firmware will always try to recognize a gesture as long as the
user moves at least 20 pixels before the release occurs.
The user presses inside of a slider and
moves before releasing.
This will always be processed as a slider operation and no attempt
will be made to recognize a gesture.
The user presses inside of a joystick
button and moves before releasing.
This will always be processed as a joystick operation and no
attempt will be made to recognize a gesture.
The user moves a movable popup page. This will always be processed as a popup page move and not a
gesture.
The user presses on a button and then
moves.
In this case, the press will not be sent for the first 0.15 second. If
the user has moved at least 60 pixels by this time, then a button
press/release will not be processed, but this will be processed as a
gesture. At 0.15 second, the button press is processed and once
the user releases, the release is processed and no gesture
recognition is attempted. To be clear, it is not necessary for the
user to move off of a button to be considered a gesture, but to
move at least 60 pixels in that first 0.15 of a second.
The user double taps on a button or
slider.
This will not be recognized as a gesture. This would be considered
two quick press/release operations on the button or slider.

Gesture Prioritization (Cont.)
The user double taps outside of a button
or slider.

Gesture VNC/Mouse Support
Gestures are recognized whether or not the user is using a finger or stylus on the panel's screen overlay, a
mouse on a VNC connection, or a mouse connected to the local USB port on the panel.
Gesture Custom Event
Whenever a gesture is recognized and processed a custom event is also sent to the master. The following values
describe this event:
CUSTOM_EVENT ADDRESS is 1
CUSTOM_EVENT EVENTID is 600
Custom.Value1 is the gesture number
Custom.Value2 is the simplified gesture velocity
Custom.Value3 is the precise gesture velocity
Gesture numbers are:
1. Swipe up
2. Swipe down
3. Swipe right
4. Swipe left
5. Clockwise circle
6. Counter-clockwise circle
7. Double-Tap
Simplified gesture velocity values are:
1. Fast
2. Normal
3. Slow
Precise gesture velocity:
1. For slides and circles this represents pixels per second.
2. For double taps, this is the time in milliseconds from the first press to the second release.
Enabling or Disabling the Gesture Custom Event
By default, a gesture custom event is sent to the master each time that a gesture is recognized. A send
command has been added to allow disabling and re-enabling of this capability.
The value sent is not retained and gesture custom events will be enabled each time
the panel restarts.
Gesture Custom Event Commands
^GCE
Sets whether or
not the panel
sends a custom
event to the
master whenever
a gesture is
detected.
112
For panels supporting gestures. Sets whether or not the panel sends a custom event to
the master whenever a gesture is detected.
Syntax:
"'^GCE-ON'" or "'^GCE-OFF'"
NOTE: This setting is not retained and the default is to always send the events. To enable
sending the event, the value after the dash can be "on", "ON", or “1”. Anything else will
disable sending custom events.

"^" Button Commands
These Button Commands are used in NetLinx Studio and are case insensitive.
All commands that begin with "^" have the capability of assigning a variable text address range and button
state range. A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the
Device: Port: System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values).
Variable text ranges allow you to target 1 or more variable text channels in a single command.
Button State ranges allow you to target 1 or more states of a variable text button with a single
command.
 "." Character is used for the 'through' notation, also the “&” character is used for the 'And'
notation.

Parameter Embedded Code
Description
refresh
’%R ’
The number of seconds between refreshes in which the
resource is downloaded again. Refreshing a resource causes
the button displaying that resource to refresh also.
newest
’%N <0-1>’
The default value is 0 (only download the resource once).
Set the newest file. A value of 1 means that only the most
recent file matching the pattern is downloaded.
Note: The 'newest file' option only applies to FTP Dynamic
Images, and only those that have pattern matching as part of
their filename. Neither 'newest file' nor pattern matching apply
to HTTP Dynamic Images.
When set, the panel will first pull a list of files matching the
given pattern from the specified FTP server and path. The
timestamps of the items in the list will be compared, with the
newest one being displayed on the panel. This is useful for
source devices that place a uniquely named still image in a
folder at constant intervals, allowing the panel always to
display the most recent one.
preserve
’%V <0-1>’
Set the value of the preserve flag.
Default is 0. Currently preserve has no function.

Battery Life and Replacement
Battery Life and Replacement
Overview
The battery powering the MVP-9000i is designed for upwards of 300 deep discharge rechargings. Regular
shallow rechargings will extensively increase expected battery life, and the device should be stored in either
the Table Docking Station or the Wall Docking Station when not in use to keep it at an optimum charge. The
battery has reached its effective end of life after it can no longer hold more than a 70 percent charge.
Lithium-Polymer batteries are small, compact, and ideal for providing long lasting
power. However, they must be used and charged properly. Improper use can result in
serious injury, fire, or death.
Please read and understand the following warnings. If you have any questions or
concerns with this product, please contact your AMX sales representative.
This installation requires opening the case of the MVP-9000i and working within its
internal components. If you are unwilling or unable to replace the battery, please
return the device to AMX for battery replacement.
WARNING: Misuse of a Lithium-Polymer battery may result in overheating, fire, or
explosion!
Safety Information:
• Do not dismantle, open, or shred the battery.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Do not store batteries haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short circuit each other or be short circuited by conductive
materials.
• Do not remove a battery from its original packaging until required for use.

Battery Life and Replacement
Please dispose of all used batteries in a proper fashion as required by municipal or
federal regulations.
Prior to battery removal, run the device until the battery is completely discharged.
Power Management
Since the MVP-9000i is a battery-powered handheld device, power management is a necessary concern. Under
active use, the charge on the integral Lithium-Polymer battery can last for as long as five days. However, to
maximize usability and minimize the chances of the device becoming completely discharged at a critical
moment, the MVP-9000i should be kept in its charging cradle or wall station when not in use.
The MVP-9000i operates on four distinct power modes:
On - This is the normal power mode of the panel during operation. In this mode, all necessary
modules are powered up and their respective clocks are being driven appropriately. The device
remains online with the NetLinx Master and continues to appear in the online tree of NetLinx
Studio.
Sleep - This mode of operation can be selected through the Setup Pages and only controls the
backlight. In this case, the unit remains on all the time, and only the backlight will be turned off
after the user-selectable time of inactivity has elapsed. The device remains online with the NetLinx
Master and continues to be shown in the online tree of NetLinx Studio. The unit shall transfer to the
Awake mode after it detects a touch on the touchscreen or capacitive touch buttons. This mode uses
80 percent of the power required for the Awake mode.
Standby - In this mode, power to all components other than the touch screen is turned off after the
user selectable time of inactivity has elapsed. Device will turn back on by touching the screen. Reacquiring a WAP connection may require up to 25 seconds.
Shutdown - The system enters this mode after a user selectable amount of inactivity time has
elapsed or if the battery level falls below10 percent of its full charge. This is the absolute lowest
mode of operation, during which power to all peripherals and components is turned off. It is not
online with the NetLinx Master and will not appear in NetLinx Studio. The system remains in this
mode until it is rebooted. In the latter case, the panel has to be placed in a Table Docking Station in
order for it to be operational.

Appendix A: Text Formatting
Text Area Input Masking
Text Area Input Masking may be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area.
For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters; with
input masking, this limit could be changed to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits. A
possible use for this feature is to enter information into form fields. The purpose of this feature is to:
• Force the use of correct type of characters (i.e. numbers vs. characters)
• Limit the number of characters in a text area
• Suggest proper format with fixed characters
• Right to Left
• Required or Optional
• Change/Force a Case
• Create multiple logical fields
• Specify range of characters/number for each field
With this feature, it is not necessary to:
• Limit the user to a choice of selections
• Handle complex input tasks such as names, days of the week, or month by name
• Perform complex validation such as Subnet Mask validation
Input mask character types
These character types define what information is allowed to be entered in any specific instance. The following
table lists what characters in an input mask will define what characters are allowed in any given position.
Character Types
Character Masking Rule
Digit (0 to 9, entry required, plus [+] and minus [-] signs not allowed)
Digit or space (entry not required, plus and minus signs not allowed)
Digit or space (entry not required; plus and minus signs allowed)
Letter (A to Z, entry required)
Letter (A to Z, entry optional)
Letter or digit (entry required)
Letter or digit (entry optional)
Any character or a space (entry required)
Any character or a space (entry optional)
The number of the above characters used determines the length of the input masking
box. Example: 0000 requires an entry, requires digits to be used, and allows only 4
characters to be entered/used.
Refer to the following SEND_COMMANDs for more detailed information:
• ^BIM - Sets the input mask for the specified addresses. (see the ^BIM section on
page 125).
• ^BMF subcommand %MK - sets the input mask of a text area (see the
^BMF section on page 127).

MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
Appendix A: Text Formatting
Input Mask Ranges
These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is
allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY.
Input Mask Ranges
Character Meaning
Start range
End range
Range Separator
An example from the above table:
[0|255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255.
Input mask next field characters
These characters allow you to specify a list of characters that cause the keyboard to move the focus to the next
field when pressed, instead of inserting the text into the text area.
Input Mask Next Field Char
Character Meaning
Start Next Field List
End Next Field List
An example from the above table:
{.} or {:} or {.:} Proceed to the next text area input box after a user hits any of these keys.
Input mask operations
Input Mask Operators change the behavior of the field in the following way:
Input Mask Operators
Character Meaning
Forces all characters to be converted to lowercase
Forces all characters to be converted to uppercase
Sets the overflow flag for this field
Input mask literals
To define a literal character, enter any character, other than those shown in the above table (including spaces,
and symbols). A back-slash ('\') causes the character that follows it to be displayed as the literal character. For
example, \A is displayed just as the letter A. To define one of the following characters as a literal character,
precede that character with a back-slash. Text entry operation using Input Masks.
A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is applied, the
behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's requirement. When working with
masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any cursor movement, including cursor,
backspace, and delete keys.
When operating with a mask, the mask should be displayed with placeholders. The "-" character should
display where you should enter a character. The arrow keys will move between the "-" characters and allow
you to replace them. The text entry code operates as if it is in the overwrite mode. If the cursor is positioned on
a character already entered and you type in a new (and valid) character, the new character replaces the old
character. There is no shifting of characters.
When working with ranges specified by the [] mask, the keyboard allows you to enter a number between the
values listed in the ranges. If a user enters a value that is larger than the maximum, the maximum number of
right-most characters is used to create a new, acceptable value.
Example 1: If you type "125" into a field accepting 0-100, then the values displayed will be "1",
"12", "25".
Example 2: If the max for the field was 20, then the values displayed will
be "1", "12", "5".
MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
175
Appendix A: Text Formatting
When data overflows from a numerical field, the overflow value is added to the previous field on the chain if
the overflow character was specified. In the above example, if the overflow flag was set, the first example will
place the "1" into the previous logical field and the second example will place "12" in the previous logical
field. If the overflow field already contains a value, the new value will be inserted to the right of the current
characters and the overflow field will be evaluated. Overflow continues to work until a field with no overflow
value is set or no more fields remain (i.e. reached first field).
If a character is typed and that character appears in the Next Field list, the keyboard should move the focus to
the next field. For example, when entering time, a ":" is used as a next field character. If you enter "1:2", the 1
is entered in the current field (hours) and then the focus is moved to the next field and 2 is entered in that field.
When entering time in a 12-hour format, entry of AM and PM is required. Instead of adding AM/PM to the
input mask specification, the AM/PM should be handled within the NetLinx code. This allows a programmer
to show/hide and provide discrete feedback for AM and PM.

URL Resources
A URL can be broken into several parts. For example, with the URL http://www.amx.com/company-infohome.asp, this URL indicates that the protocol in use is http (HyperText Transport Protocol) and that the
information resides on a host machine named www.amx.com. The image on that host machine is given an
assignment (by the program) name of company-info-home.asp (Active Server Page).
The exact meaning of this name on the host machine is both protocol dependent and host dependent. The
information normally resides in a file, but it could be generated dynamically. This component of the URL is
called the file component, even though the information is not necessarily in a file.
A URL can optionally specify a port, which is the port number to which the TCP/IP connection is made on the
remote host machine. If the port is not specified, the default port for the protocol is used instead. For example,
the default port for http is 80. An alternative port could be specified as: http://www.amx.com:8080/companyinfo-home.asp.
Any legal HTTP syntax can be used.
Special Escape Sequences
The system has only a limited knowledge of URL formats, as it transparently passes the URL information onto
the server for translation. A user can then pass any parameters to the server side programs such as CGI scripts
or active server pages.
However; the system will parse the URL looking for special escape codes. When it finds an escape code, it
replaces that code with a particular piece of panel, button, or state information.
For example, "http://www.amx.com/img.asp?device=$DV" would become http://www.amx.com/
img.asp?device=10001.

Appendix B: Wireless Technology
Overview of Wireless Technology
802.11b/2.4 GHz and 802.11a/5 GHz are the two major WLAN standards and both operate using
radio frequency (RF) technology. Together the two standards are together called WiFi and operate
in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively.
The 802.11b specification was the first to be finalized and reach the marketplace. The actual
throughput obtained from an 802.11b network will typically be between 4 and 5 Mbps.
Because of the higher frequency (and thus shorter wavelength) that they use, 802.11a signals have a
much tougher time penetrating solid objects like walls, floors, and ceilings. As a result, the price for
802.11a's higher speed is not only a shorter range but also a weaker and less consistent signal.
802.11a/b/g provides increased bandwidth at 54 Mbps. As part of the IEEE 802.11a/b/g
specification, when throughput cannot be maintained, this card will automatically switch
algorithms in order to maintain the highest spread possible at a given distance. In addition, 802.11a/
b/g can also step down to utilize 802.11b algorithms and also maintain a connection at longer
distances.
IP Routing is a 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.
Example: Imagine a panel connected to the 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 the gateway determines which
network interface (wired or wireless) will be used.
Wireless Access Points (WAPs) are the cornerstone of any wireless network. A WAP acts as a
bridge between a wired and wireless network. It aggregates the traffic from all wireless clients and
forwards it down the network to the switch or router. One WAP may be all that is necessary for a
standard installation. However, more WAPs may be needed, depending on the size of the
installation, its layout, and its construction.
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 64-bit and 128-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 used, using identical settings is crucial (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 does no, they will not be able to talk to each other.
Although the calculations required to encrypt data with WEP can impact the performance of your
wireless network, this impact is generally only seen when running benchmarks, and is not large
enough to be noticeable in the course of normal network usage.

Appendix B: Wireless Technology
Terminology
802.1x
IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard that is built on the Internet standard EAP (Extensible Authentication
Protocol). 802.1x is a standard for passing EAP messages over either a wired or wireless LAN. Additionally,
802.1x is also responsible for communicating the method with which WAPs and wireless users can share and
change encryption keys. This continuous key change helps resolve any major security vulnerabilities native to
WEP.
AES
Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, is a cipher currently approved by the NSA to protect US
Government documents classified as Top Secret. The AES cipher is the first cipher protecting Top Secret
information available to the general public.
CERTIFICATES (CA)
A certificate can have many forms, but at the most basic level, a certificate is an identity combined with a
public key, and then signed by a certification authority. The certificate authority (CA) is a trusted external third
party which "signs" or validates the certificate. When a certificate has been signed, it gains some cryptographic
properties. AMX supports the following security certificates within three different formats:
PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)
DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12)
Typical certificate information can include the following items:
Certificate Issue Date
Extensions
Issuer
Public Key
Serial Number
Signature Algorithm
User
Version
MIC
Short for Message Integrity Check, this prevents forged packets from being sent. Through WEP, it was
possible to alter a packet whose content was known even if it had not been decrypted.
TKIP
Short for Temporal Key Integration, this is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs.
TKIP provides a per-packet key mixing, message integrity check and re-keying mechanism, thus ensuring that
every data packet is sent with its own unique encryption key. Key mixing increases the complexity of decoding
the keys by giving the hacker much less data that has been encrypted using any one key.
WEP
Short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, WEP is a scheme used to secure wireless networks (WiFi). A wireless
network broadcasts messages using radio which are particularly susceptible to hacker attacks. WEP was
intended to provide the confidentiality and security comparable to that of a traditional wired network. As a
result of identified weaknesses in this scheme, WEP was superseded by WiFi Protected Access (WPA), and
then by the full IEEE 802.11i standard (also known as WPA2).
WPA
WiFi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of system used to secure wireless (WiFi) computer
networks. It was created in response to several serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous WEP
system. WPA implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate
measure to take the place of WEP while 802.11i was prepared (WPA2).
WPA is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation
wireless access points.
180
MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
Appendix B: Wireless Technology
To resolve problems with WEP, the WiFi Alliance released WPA (FIG. 104), which integrated 802.1x, TKIP
and MIC. Within the WPA specifications, the RC4 cipher engine was maintained from WEP. RC4 is widely
used in SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to protect internet traffic.
FIG. 104 WPA Overview
WPA2
Also know as IEEE 802.11i, this is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for
wireless networks. The 802.11i scheme makes use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher;
WEP and WPA use the RC4 stream cipher.
The 802.11i architecture contains the following components: 802.1X for authentication (entailing the use of
EAP and an authentication server), RSN for keeping track of associations, and AES-based CCMP to provide
confidentiality, integrity and origin authentication.
WPA2 implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards. Both provide good
security, with two significant issues:
either WPA or WPA2 must be enabled and chosen in preference to WEP.
WEP is usually presented as the first security choice in most installation instructions.
in the "Personal" mode, the most likely choice for homes and small offices, a passphrase is required
that, for full security, must be longer than the typical 6 to 8 character passwords users are taught to
employ.
With the RC4 released to the general public, the IEEE implemented the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
as the cipher engine for 802.11i, which the WiFi Alliance has branded as WPA2 (FIG. 105).

EAP Authentication
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both a
wired and wireless network environment. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also
known as a RADIUS server. Although over 40 different EAP methods are currently defined, the current
internal Modero 802.11a/b/g wireless card and accompanying firmware only support the following EAP
methods (listed from simplest to most complex):
EAP-LEAP (Cisco Light EAP)
EAP-FAST (Cisco Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling, a.k.a. LEAPv2)
The following use certificates:
EAP-PEAP (Protected EAP)
EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Security)
EAP-TLS (Transport Layer Security)
EAP requires the use of an 802.1x authentication server (also known as a RADIUS server). Sophisticated
Access Points (such as Cisco) can use a built-in RADIUS server. The most common RADIUS servers used in
wireless networks today are:
Microsoft Sever 2003
Juniper Odyssey (once called Funk Odyssey)
Meetinghouse AEGIS Server
DeviceScape RADIUS Server
Cisco Secure ACS

EAP Communication Overview
EAP Authentication goes a step beyond just encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of credentials
be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network (FIG. 106). Below is a
description of this process. It is important to note that no user intervention is necessary during this process. It
proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel.
LAN
802.1x
(EAP Over Wireless)
Client - Panel
(Supplicant)
Authenticator
(Wireless Access Point)
Authentication Server
(RADIUS Server)
FIG. 106 EAP security method in process
1. The client (panel) establishes a wireless connection with the WAP specified by the SSID.
2. The WAP opens up a tunnel between itself and the RADIUS server configured via the access point. This
tunnel means that packets can flow between the panel and the RADIUS server but nowhere else. The
network is protected until authentication of the client (panel) is complete and the ID of the client is
verified.
3. The WAP (Authenticator) sends an "EAP-Request/Identity" message to the panel as soon as the wireless
connection becomes active.
4. The panel then sends a "EAP-Response/Identity" message through the WAP to the RADIUS server
providing its identity and specifying which EAP type it wants to use. If the server does not support the
EAP type, then it sends a failure message back to the WAP which will then disconnect the panel. As an
example, EAP-FAST is only supported by the Cisco server.
5. If the EAP type is supported, the server then sends a message back to the client (panel) indicating what
information it needs. This can be as simple as a username (Identity) and password or as complex as
multiple CA certificates.
6. The panel then responds with the requested information. If everything matches, and the panel provides
the proper credentials, the RADIUS server then sends a success message to the access point instructing it
to allow the panel to communicate with other devices on the network. At this point, the WAP completes
the process for allowing LAN Access to the panel (possibly a restricted access based on attributes that
came back from the RADIUS server).
As an example, the WAP might switch the panel to a particular VLAN or install a set of farewell rules.

Configuring Modero Firmware via the USB Port
The MVP-9000i needs to be configured to connect with a PC to transfer firmware via the mini-USB port. To
configure the touch panel:
Step 1: Configure The Panel For a USB Connection Type
1. After the panel powers up, hold the Reset button to display the Setup page (for more information, refer to
the Accessing the Setup pages section on page 45) and open the Protected Setup page.
2. Press System Settings to open the System Settings page.
3. Toggle the blue Type field in the Master Connection section until the choice cycles to USB.
ALL fields are then greyed out and read-only. However, they still display any previous
network information.
4. Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.
5. Press the Reboot button both to save any changes and to 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.
6. ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page should you THEN insert the mini-USB connector
into the Mini-USB 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 a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection icon still does not turn green, complete
the procedures in the following section to set up the Virtual Master and refresh the System from the
Online Tree. This action sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the
communication, turning the System Connection icon green.
7. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to return to the System Settings page
Step 2: Prepare NetLinx Studio For Communication Via the USB Port
1. From the Start menu in Windows XP, open the Network Connections dialog (Start > Settings >
Network Connections > Local Area Connection).
2. Look for the Local Area Connection reading Local Area Connection, AMX USB Device Link and doubleclick on it to open the Local Status.
3. Press the Properties tab to open the Local Area Connection Properties section.
4. Press the Properties button to open the TCP/IP Properties dialog box.
5. Set the IP address to an address within the same subnet as the panel IP address specified within the USB
IP settings of the panel. For instance, if the default IP address on the device is 172.16.0.2, set the IP
address to 172.16.0.1. Use any class and number currently not being used by your network.
6. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.0.0.
7. In the TCP/IP Properties dialog box, click OK.
8. In the Local Area Connection Properties, section, click Close.

AMX Certificate Upload Utility
The Certificate Upload utility gives you the ability to compile a list of target touch panels, select a pre-obtained
certificate (uniquely identifying the panel), and then upload that file to the selected panel.
This application must be run from a local machine and should not be used from a
remote network location.
This application ensures that a unique certificate is securely uploaded to a specific touch panel. Currently, the
target panels must be capable of supporting the WPA-PSK and EAP-XXX wireless security formats.
The Certificate Upload utility supports the following capabilities:
Ability to browse both a local and network drive to find a desired certificate file.
Ability to create a list of target AMX G4 touch panels based on IP Addresses.
Ability to display the IP Address of the local computer hosting the application.
Ability to load a previously created list of target touch panels.
Ability to save the current list of target Modero panel as a file.
Ability to track the progress of the certificate upload by noting the current data size being
transmitted and any associated error messages (if any).
The Certificate Upload Utility recognizes the following certificate file types:
CER (Certificate File)
DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)
PFX (Normal Windows generated certificate)
PVK (Private Key file)
Uploading a Certificate File
1. Install the latest AMX USB LAN LINK driver onto your computer by installing the latest versions of
either TPDesign4 or NetLinx Studio2. This USB driver prepares your computer for proper
communication with the MVP-9000i.
2.
Access the target panel's Protected Setup firmware page and configure the USB communication
parameters.
3. With the panel successfully communicating with the target computer, launch the Certificate Upload
Utility.
Familiarize yourself with the Certificate Utility User Interface options.
4. Locate your certificate file by using the Browse button and navigating to the desired file type.
5. Use the drop-down arrow in the Local Address field to select direct communication through the USB port.
6. Select the 172.XX.0.1 IP Address that corresponds to the virtual IP Address assigned to the USB
connection port on the computer.
7. Navigate to the Add IP Address field at the bottom-right of the interface and enter a value of 1 greater than
the virtual USB IP Address.
For example: If the virtual USB IP Address is 176.16.0.1, then add an address for the directly connected
panel of 176.16.0.2. This is one greater than the USB address value detected by the utility.
A certificate may be sent to ONLY ONE directly connected panel via USB.
Use the Ethernet port’s IP Address to send a server certificate to multiple panel targets.
8. Select the IP Address which corresponds to the local computer's Ethernet address.
9. Navigate to the Add IP Address field (bottom-right of the interface) and enter the IP Addresses of the
various target touch panels.
10. Click the Add button to complete the entry and add the new IP Address to the listing of available device
IP Addresses. Repeat this process for all subsequent device IP Addresses.

11. Once the list is complete, click on the File drop-down menu and select the Save option. This launches a
Save dialog to assign a name to the current list of addresses and then save the information as a TXT (text)
file to a known location.
This application must be run from a local machine and should not be used from a
remote network location.
12. Select the target devices to be uploaded with the selected certificate. These may be:
individually selected by toggling the box next to the Send entry (with the Type column).
selected as a group by clicking on the Check All radio box located at the top of the device IP
Address listing.
13. When ready to send the certificate file to the selected panels, click the Send button to initiate the upload.
Once the Status field for each entry reads Done, the upload was successfully completed.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting
Appendix C: Troubleshooting
Overview
This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common
operation of a Modero touch panel.
Panel Doesn’t Respond To Touches
Symptom: The device either does not respond to touches on the touch screen or does not register the touch as
being in the correct area of the screen.
If the screen is off:
The device may be in Standby Mode. Press and hold the directional pad to wake up the panel.
The device may be in Shutdown Mode. Press and hold the center button on the directional pad until
the device turns on.
The device battery may be drained. Place the device into a Table Docking Station or a Wall
Docking Station, or connect it to its included power source to recharge the battery.
If the screen is on:
The protective laminate coating may still be on the LCD. Verify that the coating on the LCD is
removed before beginning any calibration process. The protective cover makes calibration difficult
because the device cannot calibrate on specific crosshairs when the sheet is pressing on the whole
LCD.
The previous calibration may be off. Reset the device calibration, as explained in the Calibrate
Page section on page 87.
Battery Will Not Hold Or Take A Charge
Symptom: The battery will not hold or take a charge and shows no indication of charging, either on the
bargraphs or in the Battery Setup page.
To keep the battery from being damaged from operating at too low a level, the firmware places it into a
protected state.
The panel must have the latest firmware. If it doesn’t, the firmware can be found at www.amx.com.
1. Load the firmware into the panel, using NetLinx Studio.
2. After loading the firmware, power cycle the MVP (this is a complete power cycle, not a Reboot). The
panel will now show the current firmware version within the Setup > Panel Information page.
3. Connect the power supply to the panel. You will see 2 warning messages on the display.
The first one warns that the battery is low and must be charged.
The second warning tells you that the battery is in a protected mode.
4. Wait a few minutes and then check the Battery Settings page on the device to see any charging activity on
the bar graphs. (For more information, refer to the Power Management Page section on page 51.)
The “Sensor” device in the Online Tree tab below the MVP panel should show v1.24 or higher after the
upgrade, as shown in FIG. 107:

Appendix C: Troubleshooting
MVP-9000i Isn’t Appearing In The Online Tree Tab
1. Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx Project Navigator window and the System
Settings page on the device.
2. Verify the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods entered into the Master Connection section
of the System Settings page.
MVP Can’t Obtain a DHCP Address
In requesting a DHCP Address, the DHCP Server can take up to a few minutes to provide the address.
1. Verify that the WAP is configured to match the MVP panel Network Name (SSID) field, Encryption,
Default Key, and Current Key string.
Remember that the Passphrase generator on the panel does not produce the same
Current Key if using the same passphrase on the WAP.
2. In NetLinx Studio, select Diagnostics > Network Address and verify the System number.
3. If the IP Address field is still empty, give the device a few minutes to negotiate a DHCP Address and try
again.
My WAP Doesn’t Seem To Be Working
WEP will not work unless the same default key is set on both the panel and the Wireless Access Point (WAP).
For example, if the access point was set to default WEP key 4 (which was 01:02:03:04:05), the Modero’s
Default WEP key 4 must be set to 01:02:03:04:05.
NetLinx Studio Only Detects One Of My Connected Masters
Each Master is given a Device Address of 00000.
Only one Master can be assigned to a particular System number. If you want to work with multiple Masters,
open different instances of NetLinx Studio and assign each Master its own System value.
Example: A site has an NXC-ME260/64 and an NI-4000. In order to work with both units. The ME260 can be
assigned System #1 and the NI-4000 can then be assigned System #2 using two open sessions of NetLinx
Studio v 2.x.
Can’t Connect To a NetLinx Master
Symptom: I can’t seem to connect to a NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio.
Select Settings > Master Comm Settings > Communication Settings > Settings (for TCP/IP), and uncheck the
"Automatically Ping the Master Controller to ensure availability".
The pinging is to determine if the Master is available and to reply with a connection failure instantly if it is not.
Without using the ping feature, a connection may still be attempted, but a failure will take longer to be
recognized.
If you are trying to connect to a Master controller that is behind a firewall, you may
have to uncheck this option. Most firewalls will not allow ping requests to pass
through for security reasons.
When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the program will first try to ping the controller
before attempting a connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the device is off-line,
or if the TCP/IP address that was entered was incorrect.
If you decide not to ping for availability and the controller is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address,
the program will try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.
Only One Modero Panel In My System Shows Up
Symptom: I have more than one Modero panel connected to my System Master and only one shows up.
Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices, such as MVP panels, can be associated for use with a single Master.
Each panel comes with a defaulted Device Number value of 10001. When using multiple panels, different
Device Number values have to be assigned to each panel.
1. Press and hold the Reset button (FIG. 45) to open the Setup page.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting
2. Press the Protected button, enter 1988 into the on-screen Keypad’s password field, and press Done when
finished.
3. Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number Keypad. The default is 10001 and the
range is from 1 - 32000.
Panel Behaves Strangely After Downloading A Panel File Or Firmware
Symptom: After downloading a panel file or firmware to a G4 device, the panel behaves strangely.
If the panel already contains a large enough file, subsequent downloads will take up more space than is
available and could often corrupt the Compact Flash. The demo file that typically ships with G4 panels is one
such file.
Symptoms include:
Having to repeat the download.
Inability to make further downloads to the panel. May get "directory" errors, "graphics hierarchy"
errors, etc., indicating problems with the Compact Flash.
Panel will not boot, or gets stuck on "AMX" splash screen.
Other problems also started after downloading to a new panel or a panel with a TPD4 file that takes up a
considerable amount of the available Compact Flash.
1. DO NOT download TPD4 files (of large size) over the demo pages, or any other large TPD4 file.
2. First download a small blank one page file to the G4 panel using the Normal Transfer option to send/
download the page.
3. Reboot the device.
4. Do your regular file or firmware download.
