Introduction AMX has taken a great leap forward with the release of their new 1200V-Series of Modero touch panels. These panels offer the ability to display Composite video, 802.11g communication, and USB support for extended input devices, and panel programming via a mini-USB port. The new G4 graphics and Video technology is supported by the release of the latest TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design Program. These video-capable panels support several video formats: NTSC, SECAM, and PAL (Color Active (CA) panels don’t support video). Each 1200V-Series panels have been pre-installed with 2 antennas which can be later used to configure each panel type for wireless communication (via an optional NXA-80211G wireless mini-PCI card). Modero Video Touch Panels (1200V-Series) The new and enhanced line of 12" Modero Touch Panel (NXT/NXD-1200V) represent the next step in video-capable panels and departs from the previously popular CA version. In addition to Composite/S-Video support (does not support Component RGB signals), the new 1200V panels feature dual USB connectivity for mouse and keyboard, and antennas, the use of a mini-USB port for panel programming and a complete departure from the use of an ICSNet connector for communication. These panels include a built-in microphone, left/right speakers, audio/headphone connector, and an included audio/video breakout box. Table Top models use AMX’s exclusive SmoothTilt® technology for effortless adjustment of the viewing angle. Each panel is sold only as part of a 1200V Kit which includes both a panel and an NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Audio/Video Breakout Box (FG2254-10). This box facilitates the installation and distribution of video, data, and audio to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m) from the breakout box. These panels are ideally suited for displaying full motion video and audio with overlay graphics for applications with demanding visual requirements. The following is a listing of the currently available 1200V panels: 1200-V Modero Video Touch Panels NXD-1200V (FG2251-60K) 12" Modero Video WallMount Touch Panel Kit (includes both an NXD panel and an NXA-AVB/ETHERNET A/V Breakout Box).

The power supply being used on the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET is dependant on the power requirements of the target touch panel. Use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide both communication and 10/100 network connectivity between the panel, NXA-AVB/ETHERNET, NetLinx Master, and the network. Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET connectors and cables The inputs and outputs on the breakout box are separated into front and rear connectors. The rear connectors are used to input external signals. The front connectors are used to communicate signals between the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET and a target Modero panel. FIG. 6 provides a layout of the wiring connection both into and from the breakout box.

Each channel is divided into GND, IN+, and IN- terminal cable connectors (2 sets of 3 for each channel). An example of this cable is to strip the ends of 2 RCA audio cables and insert them into their respective locations on the Audio In port. Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio signal can be connected to this input. • MIC OUT: 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into GND, OUT-, and OUT+ terminal connectors. An example of this cable is to strip the terminal ends of a 3.5mm mini-jack and insert them into their respective locations on the Mic Out port. This signal can be fed as a Line Level In to either an amplifier or an AMX VOL card. Either a balanced (+, -, and GND) or unbalanced (+ and GND) audio signal can be connected to this output. • Video In BNCs: Feeds either Composite/S-Video Luma or S-Video Chroma signals into the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET. This feed is then redirected out to a Modero panel through the front Audio/Video CAT5 port. • ETHERNET: 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels RJ-45 connector routes data to the G4 touch panel through the front Ethernet port. These connections use a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable to provide communication between the target touch panel, breakout box, and NetLinx Master. 9 Touch Panel Accessories • PWR: 2-pin mini-Phoenix connector that connects to a 12 VDC-compliant power supply. This port can be used to provide power to a Modero panel by sending it through the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET (rear power connector through to the front power connector). Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Unbalanced Audio Most domestic audio equipment has unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. This means that the audio output (left, right, or mono) appears on a single wire, and is referenced to "0 V" or "Ground". Typical connectors used are RCA "phono" connectors, DIN plugs/sockets, and 0.25" (6.3mm) or 3.5mm jack plugs/sockets. Unbalanced audio is adequate for most domestic environments and for line-level signals in a typical broadcast studio. Problems may occur if the signals are carried over long distances, especially if the source and destination have separate main supplies. Use the following wiring drawing (FIG. 7) to configure an unbalanced audio connection. GND ININ+ Left Channel GND IN- Right Channel Unbalanced IN (Jumper IN- to GND) Unbalanced IN (Jumper IN- to GND) IN+ AUDIO IN MIC OUT GND OUTOUT+ Microphone Unbalanced OUT FIG. 7 Wiring the rear AUDIO IN and MIC OUT for use with Unbalanced Audio When using unbalanced audio for the AUDIO IN connector (FIG. 7), the "-" and the "GND" terminals should be connected together and then connected to the GND of the unbalance audio signal. When connecting to an unbalanced audio input from the MIC OUT connector (FIG. 7), wire the "+" terminal to the signal input, and the "GND" terminal to the signal ground. Wiring the NXA-AVB/ETHERNET for Balanced Audio Professional audio equipment will often use balanced audio inputs and outputs, usually on 3-pin "XLR" connectors. A balanced audio signal consists of a pair of wires carrying the audio signal in anti-phase with each other (if one wire carries a positive voltage, the other carries an equal and opposite negative voltage). The advantage of balanced audio over unbalanced audio is its ability to reject external interference added as the signal is carried over the wire. The receiving equipment takes the voltage difference between the two wires as the input signal. Interference will usually get added to both wires equally, and so gets cancelled by the receiving equipment. 10 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Touch Panel Accessories The 3 wires used in a typical XLR lead are often referred to as Ground, Live (Hot) and Return (Cold). "Live" and "Return" carry the "in-phase" and "out-of-phase" versions of the audio respectively. The pins of the XLR plug/socket are as follows: • X = Ground • L = Live (Hot) • R = Return (Cold) When connecting the MIC OUT connector to a balanced audio input (FIG. 8), use all three audio terminals (+, -, and GND), then connect the "+" terminal to the "live" signal, the "-" terminal to the "return" signal, and the "GND" terminal to the ground signal. Ground signal GND OUTOUT+ Return signal Balanced OUT Line signal FIG. 8 Wiring the rear MIC OUT connector for use with Balanced Audio Modero Table Top Cable (CA2250-50) The Modero Table Top Touch Panels come with a standard 10' (3.048 m) Modero cable (CA2250-50) that supports Ethernet, Audio/Video, and Power connections.

Do not use Ethernet cables containing mounting boots. These boots could make removal of the Ethernet connectors (from the panel) difficult and cumbersome. Step 1: Remove the existing NXT Outer Housing 1. Carefully detach all connectors from the rear of the touch panel and then gently place the touch panel LCD facedown onto a soft cloth to expose the under-side of the base (FIG. 16). This step helps prevent scratching of the LCD. 2. Tilt the base forward so that both the bottom surface and Housing Screws are easily accessible and then carefully remove the four plastic adhesive feet. Reference the location of the four plastic adhesive "feet". Once the outer housing is placed back onto the panel, these "feet" must be placed back in their original locations so they can fit into their provided openings on a Battery Base. 3. While holding the outer housing and base plate at a 45° (to prevent it from sliding), use a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the eight Housing Screws. 18 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Touch Panel Accessories Base plate Unscrew these eight Housing Screws to remove the circuit board housing Outer housing 45° Hinge Brackets (2) DO NOT REMOVE these screws They secure the speakers to the main board FIG. 16 Location of the attachment screws underneath an NXT panel base 4. Rotate the panel back over (while gripping the entire unit with outer housing) and rest the base on a flat surface. 5. Gently tilt the LCD backward to a 45° angle. 6. In a single motion, carefully pull the outer housing up and then out (away from the LCD panel) to expose the internal circuit board. 7. Unscrew the Stereo Output nut from the Stereo Output jack. 8. Firmly grab the existing connector plate and slide it up and away from the base. Step 2: Install the 802.11g mini-PCI Wireless Card 1.

Modero connection information NetLinx Master’s connection information MAC Address from panel is factory set to a unique address FIG. 52 System Settings page There are 2 possible Master Connection Types available: USB or Ethernet. A USB connection type is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master). An Ethernet connection type involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via an Ethernet connection to the network. 52 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted. The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into an already active panel before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver. This driver is part of the latest TPDesign4 software application installation. Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel is then configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master. For a personal computer to establish a connection to a Modero panel via USB, the target computer must have the appropriate AMX USB driver installed. This installation is bundled into the latest TPDesign4 software setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on www.amx.com. Step 1: Setting up the Panel and PC for USB Communication 1. If you do not currently have the latest version of TPDesign4, navigate to www.amx.com > Tech Center > Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Design Tools section of the website and locate the AMX USB Driver executable (AMX USBLAN Setup exe). 2. Download this executable file to a known location on your computer. 3. Launch the file by double-clicking on it and follow the on-screen prompts to complete your installation. Note that even if you have loaded the latest AMX Studio or TPD4 software, you will still need to download and install this file if you are working with either the 1200V-Series or VG-Series of panels. 4. Choose the default language, agree to the Licensing information, and choose the location for the file installations (C:\Program Files\AMX\USBLAN). 5. From within the Choose Components dialog, select the features you wish to install. The Driver option is selected by default and is the only item required. 6. Click the Install button to continue with the installation. 7. Once the application begins the installation of the corresponding USB driver files, it may encounter cases where previous versions of these files already exist. This can occur if you have previously installed released versions of NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4. If you are prompted to replace the AXBLAN.INF file, select YES. If you are prompted to replace the Checked driver file, select NO. If you are prompted to replace the AXBLAN.SYS and AXFILT.SYS files, select Yes. 8. Continue the setup process by following these OS-related processes: For machines running Windows 2000 simply click the Next button when the installation is complete. Creating a restore point is not an available option in 2000. For Windows XP machines the setup program asks if you would like to create a restore point. It is always a good idea to create restore points prior to installing new software. Click the Next button when done. 9. At the end of the installation, press the Finish button. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 53 Configuring Communication Step 2: Confirming the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC it is detected as a new hardware device and the USBLAN driver becomes associated with it (panel specific). Each time thereafter the panel is "recognized" as a unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background. When the panel is detected for the first time some user intervention is required during the association between panel and driver. 1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart your machine. If the panel is already powered, continue with steps 3. The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port. 2. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on the rear/side of the touch panel and then apply power. 3. After the panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (for 3 seconds) to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page. 4. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page (FIG. 53). No connection is established until the Virtual Master becomes active within Studio Yellow Connection Status icon indicates an unreliable network connection Red Connection Status icon indicates no connection to a Master Green Connection Status icon indicates communication to a Master FIG. 53 System Settings page - using a USB Connection Type 5. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB. Refer to the System Settings Page section on page 118 for more information about the fields on this page. ALL fields are then greyed-out and read-only, but still display any previous network information. 6. Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page. 7. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and 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. 54 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication 8. ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page, THEN insert the mini-USB connector into the Program 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 this is your first time installing the USB driver, a USB driver installation popup window (FIG. 54) then appears on the screen. FIG. 54 USB driver installation popup window This window notifies you that the panel has been detected by the PC as a USB-compliant device and the PC is installing an appropriate USB driver to establish a proper communication to the panel. The driver does not contain a Microsoft® digital signature and Windows® then informs you of such. 9. Click Yes when told that a digital signature was not found. This action accepts the installation of the new USB driver. The panel is now configured to communicate directly with the PC. This process completes the association between driver and device. Each time the same touch panel is connected to the computer the driver is automatically loaded (using a unique name - example USB LAN LINK #1, #2). Each time a different touch panel is connected to the computer, the previous procedures will need to be repeated. The previous version of the AMX USBLAN driver showed a USB connection icon in the system tray when a panel was connected. The new version of the driver does not show an icon in the System Tray. A Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is used when the target panel is not connected to a physical NetLinx Master. In this situation, the PC takes on the functions of a Master via a Virtual NetLinx Master. This connection is made by either using the PC’s Ethernet Address (via TCP/IP using a known PC’s IP Address as the Master) or using a direct mini-USB connection to communicate directly to the panel. 10. Navigate back to the System Settings page. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 55 Configuring Communication Step 3: Confirm and View the current AMX USB device connections 1. Navigate to Start > Settings > Control Panel > and double-click the System icon to launch the System Properties dialog. 2. Select the Hardware tab and click on the Device Manager button to launch the Device Manager dialog. Within the Device Manager dialog, the AMX USBLAN device appears under Network Adapters (FIG. 55) and has a unique name such as AMX USB LAN LINK #2. The number changes depending on which recognized panel is currently connected. USB connected touch panel (showing the recognized panel) FIG. 55 Device Manager dialog showing USB device To remove the USB driver association from a previously connected touch panel, you must navigate back to the Device Manager, right-click on the panel’s USB driver (example AMX USB LAN LINK #2) and select Uninstall from the context menu and then OK. Once the system completes the removal of the device, the Device Manager window will refresh, and the device will no longer appear. The next time this device is connected to the computer it will appear as a new hardware device and will need to be associated again with the driver (refer to Step 2: Confirming the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC section on page 54. Step 4: Using a USB to Configure a Virtual Master (using NetLinx Studio) When configuring your panel to communicate via USB with a Virtual Master (on your PC), ONLY the USB connection option must be selected within the Type field. Since this is a direct connection, the PC’s IP Address is not needed. Before beginning: 1. Verify the panel has been configured to communicate via USB within the System Settings page and that the USB driver has been properly configured. Refer to the previous section for more information. 2. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2). 3. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 56). 4.

Right-click on the Empty Device Tree/System entry and select Refresh System to re-populate the list. The panel will not appear as a device below the virtual system number (in the Online Tree tab) until both the system number used in step 7 for the VNM is entered into the Master Connection section of the System Settings page and the panel is restarted. The Connection status turns green after a few seconds to indicate an active USB connection to the PC (Virtual Master). No Lock icon is displayed because this USB connection is not secured (requiring a username/password). If a few minutes have gone by and the System Settings icon still does not turn green, repeat the USB connection and Virtual Master setup procedures (outlined in this section). Refreshing the System sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the communication (turning the System Connection icon green). 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 57 Configuring Communication Step 5: Confirm and View the current AMX USB device connections Use the CC-USB Type-A to Mini-B 5-wire programming cable (FG10-5965) to provide communication between the mini-USB 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. Connection to a previously powered panel which then reboots, allows the PC to detect the panel and assign an appropriate USB driver. 1. Verify this 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, its now time to verify the panel is ready to receive files. 3. Click the OnLine Tree tab in the Workspace window to view the devices on the Virtual System. The default System value is one. 4. Right-click on the System entry (A in FIG. 57) and select Refresh System. This causes a refresh of all project systems, establishes a new connection to the Virtual Master, and populates the System list with devices on your particular system. A B FIG. 57 Using USB for Virtual Master communication 58 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview IP Routing The 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. As an example: Imagine a panel connected to 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 determining which network interface (wired or wireless) that will be used is dependent on the gateway. Hot Swapping Hot swapping is not an issue on these panels as the card is installed within the unit and cannot be removed without first removing the housing. In the case of DHCP, there must be a DHCP server accessible before the fields are populated. If the SSID (Network Name) and WEP fields have not previously been configured, the Wireless Settings page will not work until the panel is rebooted. Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXA-PCI80211G AMX Wireless Card (FG2255-04) communicating to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA-WAP200G). In determining the Ethernet method of communication, the panel will always default first to the direct Ethernet communication. If no direct connection is detected, the panel will first check to see if there is an installed wireless interface card and then communicate to the WAP using the Wireless Settings assigned within the Wireless Settings page. The WAP communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless interface card installed within the panel. Wireless Access Points are the cornerstone of any wireless network. A Wireless Access Point acts as a bridge between a wired and wireless network. It aggregates the traffic from all the wireless clients and forwards it down the network to the switch or router. One Wireless Access Point may be all you need. However, you could need more Wireless Access Points depending on either how large your installation is, how it is laid out, and how it is constructed. 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 40-bit and 104-bit WEP keys. This is known respectively as 64-bit 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 you use, it's crucial to use identical settings (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 doesn't, they won't be able to talk to each other. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 59 Configuring Communication Although the calculations required to encrypt data with WEP can impact the performance of your wireless network, it's generally seen only when running benchmarks, and not large enough to be noticeable in the course of normal network usage. Configuring a Wireless Connection When working with a wireless card, the first step is to configure wireless communication parameters within the Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the card to communicate to a target WAP (such as the NXA-WAP200G), it is still necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings The first step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section of the Wireless Settings page. The section configures the communication parameters from the Modero panel to the web. Wireless communication using a DHCP Address 1. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup page and display an on-screen keypad. 2. Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field and press Done when finished. 3. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page. Wireless communication is set within the IP Settings section of this page (FIG. 58). 4. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP. This action causes all fields in the IP Settings section (other than Host Name) to be greyed-out. DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and once the communication setup process is complete, assign IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server. 5. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information. Modero connection IP info. FIG. 58 Wireless Settings page (IP Settings section) 6. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name. 7. Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up. 60 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication This information can be found in either the Workspace - System name > Define Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the Device Addressing/Network Addresses section of the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog. 8. Setup the security and communication parameters between the wireless card and the target WAP by configuring the Wireless Settings section on this page. Refer to Step 2: Configuring the Card’s Wireless Security Settings section on page 62 for detailed procedures to setup either a secure or insecure connection. Wireless communication using a Static IP Address 1. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup page and display an on-screen keypad. 2. Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field and press Done when finished. 3. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page. Wireless communication is set within the IP Settings section of this page (FIG. 58). Check with your System Administrator for a pre-reserved Static IP Address assigned to the panel. This address must be obtained before Static assignment of the panel continues. 4. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to Static. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway fields then become user-editable (red). 5. Press the IP Address field to open a Keyboard and enter the Static IP Address (provided by your System Administrator). 6. Press Done after you are finished entering the IP information. 7. Repeat the same process for the Subnet Mask and Gateway fields. 8. Press the optional Host Name field to open the Keyboard and enter the Host Name information. 9. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name. 10. Press the Primary DNS field to open a Keyboard, enter the Primary DNS Address (provided by your System Administrator) and press Done when compete. Repeat this process for the Secondary DNS field. 11. Press the Domain field to open a Keyboard, enter the resolvable domain Address (this is provided by your System Administrator and equates to a unique Internet name for the panel), and press Done when complete. 12. Setup the security and communication parameters between the wireless card and the target WAP by configuring the Wireless Settings section on this page. Refer to the following section for detailed procedures to setup either a secure or insecure connection. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 61 Configuring Communication Step 2: Configuring the Card’s Wireless Security Settings The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page. The section configures both the communication and security parameters from the internal wireless card to the WAP. The procedures outlined within the following sections use an NXA-WAP200G and the target WAP. Once you have completed setting up the wireless card parameters, you must then navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating that there is no current connection to a Master). Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for unsecured access to a WAP200G 1. Power-down the Modero unit and follow the wireless card installation procedures outlined in Step 2: Install the 802.11g mini-PCI Wireless Card section on page 19. 2. Power-up the panel (this allows it to detect the card). 3. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup page and display an on-screen keypad. 4. Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field and press Done when finished. 5. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page. 6. From within the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page, touch the Network Name (SSID) field (FIG. 59). Mini-PCI settings FIG. 59 Wireless Settings page (showing default values) 7. From the Service Set Identifier keyboard, enter the SSID name used by your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive). The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the unit will attempt to connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned SSID value. One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arise because the SSID was not entered properly. You must maintain the same case when entering the SSID information. ABC is not the same as Abc. 8. Toggle the Authentication field to an Open System (default). Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID matches the WAP’s SSID. 9. Toggle the Encryption field until it reads Clear Text (default). 62 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication The remaining Wireless Settings fields are then greyed-out and become read-only. All NXA-WAP200Gs are factory-shipped as an unsecured WAP with no WEP encryption. The WAP200G initial Status page will display the status of both the WEP and WPA (both disabled). 10. Verify the fields in the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 60 for detailed information. 11. Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master. 12. After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal Strength: The bargraphs have been replaced with descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent (FIG. 59). The signal strength field should provide some descriptive text regarding the strength of the connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address displayed; configuration of your network could be required. Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures. Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G After logging into the WAP200G, the default Status page appears within the web browser. These read-only values are "pulled" from some of the other user-configurable Configuration Utility pages. By default, wireless Modero panels are configured for unsecured communication to a Wireless Access Point. To properly setup both the WAP200G and panel for secure communication, you must first prepare the Modero panel and then use the information provided to fill out the fields within the WAP’s browser-based Basic Wireless Configuration page. Since the code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula, all panels will generate identical keys for the same Passphrase. The generators used on WAPs will not produce the same key as the Modero generator even if you use the same Passphrase. This is why we recommend creating the Current Key FIRST on the Modero and then entering that information into the appropriate WAP200G fields. 1. Power-down the Modero unit and follow the wireless card installation procedures outlined in Step 2: Install the 802.11g mini-PCI Wireless Card section on page 19. When configuring touch panels for wireless communication, verify that no Ethernet connector is installed within the panel before the unit is power cycled. 2. Power-up the panel (this allows it to detect the card). 3. Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup page and display an on-screen keypad. 4. Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field and press Done when finished. 5. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page. 6. Locate the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page (FIG. 60). 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 63 Configuring Communication SSID field Mini-PCI wireless card communication settings (for use with a target WAP) Changes on this page take effect after using the BACK button to return to the previous page FIG. 60 Wireless Settings page (Wireless Settings section) You must first take the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC Address information and then later enter it into the appropriate WAP dialog fields in order to "sync-up" the secure connection. These values must be identically reproduced on the target WAP. 7. Touch the Network Name (SSID) field and from the Service Set Identifier keyboard, enter the SSID name you will be using on your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive). The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the unit will attempt to connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned SSID value. One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arise because the SSID was not entered properly. You must maintain the same case when entering the SSID information. ABC is not the same as Abc. The alpha-numeric string is by default AMX 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 you use TECHPUBS as your SSID, you must match this word and the case within both the Network Name (SSID) field on the touch panel’s Network Name SSID field and on the WAP’s Basic Wireless Configuration page. 8. Leave the Authentication field reading Open System (default). Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID matches the WAP’s SSID. An Open System is recommended for communication between Modero panels and an NXA-WAP200G. Shared Key Authentication requires that the panel and the Wireless Access Point have the same WEP Key to authenticate. 9. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 60) until it reads WEP64 or WEP128. 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 you have your Wireless Access Point set to default key 4 (which was 01:02:03:04:05), you must set the panel’s key 4 to 01:02:03:04:05. 64 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication 10. Toggle the Default Key field until the you’ve chosen a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches what you’ll be using on your target WAP200G. These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices. 11. With the proper WEP Key value displayed, press the Generate button to launch the WEP Passphrase keyboard. If you are wanting to have your target WAP (other than a 200G) generate the Current Key - Do not press the Generate button and continue with Step 14. This keyboard allows you to enter a Passphrase (such as AMXPanel) and then AUTOMATICALLY generate a WEP key which is compatible only among Modero panels. The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula. Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical keys when done on any Modero because they all use the same Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase generator is case sensitive. 12. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG. 61), enter a character string or word (such as AMXPanel) and press Done when you have finished. FIG. 61 WEP Passphrase Keyboard As an example, enter the word AMXPanel using a 128-bit hex digit encryption. After pressing Done, the on-screen Current Key field displays a long string of characters (separated by colons) which represents the encryption key equivalent to the word AMXPanel. This series of hex digits (26 hex digits for a 128-bit encryption key) should be entered as the Current Key into both the WAP and onto other communicating Modero panels by using the WEP Key dialog (FIG. 62). FIG. 62 WEP Key # Keyboard 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 65 Configuring Communication 13. Write down this Current Key string value for later entry into your WAP’s WEP Key field (typically entered without colons) and into the communicating panel’s Current Key field (FIG. 60). 14. If you are entering a Current Key generated either by your target WAP or another Modero panel, within the WEP Keys section, touch the Key # button to launch the WEP Key # keyboard (FIG. 62), enter the characters and press Done when finished. This Key value corresponds to the Default WEP Key number used on the Wireless Access Point and selected in the Default Key field described in the previous step. If your target Wireless Access Point does not support passphrase key generation and has previously been setup with a manually entered WEP KEY, you must manually enter that same WEP key on your panel. 15. Verify the fields within the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 60 for detailed information. 16. Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master. 17. After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal Strength: The bargraphs have been replaced with descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. The signal strength field provides some descriptive text regarding the strength of the connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address displayed; configuration of your network could be required. Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures. Configuring multiple wireless Moderos to communicate to a target WAP200G 1. For each communicating touch panel, complete all of the steps outlined within the previous Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G section on page 63. Those procedures walk you through assigning an SSID, selecting a WEP encryption level, and obtaining a Current Key string value for a specific WEP Key on a target panel. 2. Navigate back to the Wireless/Wireless Settings page on each panel. 3. Verify that all communicating Modero panels are using the same SSID, encryption level, Default Key #, and an identical Current Key value. As an example, all panels should be set to Default Key #1 and be using aa:bb:cc..as the Current Key string value. This same Key value and Current Key string should be used on the target WAP. 4. Repeat steps 1 - 3 on each panel. Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for all communicating Modero panels. 66 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection It is necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. If you have previously established a wireless connection to the Internet you must still navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a Master). If you have previously configured an internal wireless card for communication to the Internet, you do not need to configure the panel’s IP Settings fields and can skip the following Step 1. Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wired IP Settings There are only two available methods of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wireless (via an internal card) or Wired (direct Ethernet connection). If you are not using an internal wireless card, you can only configure the connection parameters through the System Settings page. This type of communication can be established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address (typically provided by your System Administrator). IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet 1. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page. 2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page. Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields appear on the two separate System Settings and Wireless Settings pages; the information populating these fields is identical. If the information within one of these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both pages within the altered field. Example: Domain is altered on Wireless Settings page, the value is then also changed within the Domain field of the System Settings page. 3. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP. DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and once the communication setup process is complete, reserve an IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server. 4. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information. 5. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name. 6. Do not alter any of the remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up. This information can be found in either the: Workspace- System name > Define Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the Device Addressing/Network Addresses in the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog. 7. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page. 8. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 67 Configuring Communication IP Settings section - Configuring a Static IP Address over Ethernet 1. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page. 2. Locate the IP Settings section of this page.

Navigate to the Master Connection section of this page to begin configuring the communication parameters for the target Master. Step 2: Choosing a Master Connection Mode Setting There are three Ethernet MODE settings used in the Master Connection section of the System Settings page. URL is the most common method. Master Connection MODE options: • URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it). • LISTEN sets the Modero panel to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL list). In this system, the panel acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as a "Client". • AUTO is used to instruct the Modero to search for a Master that uses the same System Number (assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled. This UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required. This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx Master manual for more detailed information. 68 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Configuring Communication Step 3: Configuring the Ethernet Connection Type When using Ethernet as your communication method, the NetLinx Master must first be setup with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio or your System Administrator.

Refer to your particular NetLinx Master instruction manual for detailed setup procedures. Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the Modero panel for use. Refer to the Panel Calibration section on page 49. Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher Help file for more information on uploading files via Ethernet. Configure your panel for either direct connect or wireless communication. Refer to the Configuring Communication section on page 51 for more detailed information about Ethernet or Wireless communication. It is recommended that firmware Kit files only be transferred over a direct Ethernet connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted. The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required steps for updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating Kit files to a NetLinx Master (except the target device is a panel instead of a Master). Refer to either your Master’s literature or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures. A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection. Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is powered and the Type-A USB connector is securely inserted into the PC’s USB port. The panel must be powered-on before connecting the miniUSB connector to the panel. 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. Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type 1.

Battery Power Brightness Limit: The DISABLE/DISABLED button acts as a power save feature with two available choices: • Disable - activates the brightness limit set on the Modero panel and is used to conserve battery power. Activating this feature causes the panel to function at 80% of full brightness and overrides the Panel Brightness value set on the Setup page. This extends the battery usage time. • Disabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this power save feature and makes the panel use the specified Panel Brightness level set on the Setup page. The term "quality" (in the context of a battery), refers to the current capacity relative to the batteries’ rated capacity. For example, after constant use, a battery may be operating at 75% of its rated capacity even though it might be fully charged. In this case, the battery could be incorrectly reporting its’ information back to the battery base and then consequently relating this information back to the Battery Base page. A battery can be recalibrated using an optional NXT-CHG (battery charger).

Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current visual update of the panel’s connection status regardless of what page is currently active. • A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection with a currently secured target Master (requiring a username and password). Light Sensor: Allows you to monitor and alter the sensitivity of the Modero panel light sensor: • The Light Sensor Level field indicates the level used to report the light sensor level back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only). • The Light Sensor Level Port field indicates the port used to report the light sensor level back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only). • The Light Sensor Channel field indicates the level used to report the sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4). It is On when you are below the Maximum dim mode level (read-only). • The Light Sensor Channel Port field indicates the port used to report the sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only). • The Light Level field provides a numeric value representing the current value of the light level detected by the on-board photo-sensor. • The Light Level bargraph displays a horizontal bargraph indicating the current value of the light level detected by the on-board photo-sensor. This bargraph provides a visual representation of the numeric value displayed within the Light Level field. • Use the Dim Mode Max Level bargraph to alter the Maximum DIM level value used to activate the DIM Mode Brightness Level (range = 0 - 100). • Use the Dim Mode Min Level bargraph to alter the Minimum DIM level value used to activate the DIM Mode Brightness Level (range = 0 - 100). - The position of this bargraph can never exceed that of the Dim Mode Max Level. 110 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Firmware Pages and Descriptions Sensor Setup Page Elements (Cont.) Motion Sensor: Provides the following fields: • The Motion Detection field displays a reactive button that changes color (illuminates) and displays the words "Motion Detected" when motion is detected by the Modero panel’s front motion sensor. • The Motion Sensor Port field indicates the port used to report the motion sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only). • The Motion Sensor Channel field indicates the channel used to report the motion sensor channel back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPD4) (read-only). Wake Panel On Motion Sense: The Wake Panel Sensitivity relates to the sensitivity of the motion sensor to detect motion and wake the panel accordingly. • Toggle the Enable/Enabled button to either active/inactive this feature: - Enable - activates this feature. Activating this feature reactivates the panel from a panel timeout (sleep) mode. - Enabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this feature and makes the panel use the specified Display Timeout value set on the Setup Page. • Use the Wake Panel UP/DN buttons to alter the sensitivity value. - Range = 0 - 100. • The horizontal WAKE PANEL SENSITIVITY bargraph indicates the current motion sensitivity value associated with waking the panel from a timeout. Dim Mode Minimum Brightness: Allows you to alter the sensitivity of the Modero panel light sensor: • Toggle the Enable/Enabled button to either active/inactive the DIM Mode feature: - Enable - activates this feature. Once active (by receiving a value below the Dim Mode Min Level value), the current light level ramps to the DIM Mode value within a few seconds. - Enabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this feature. • Use the DIM Mode Brightness UP/DN buttons to alter the DIM level. - Range = 0 - 100. - The lower the value, the darker a room must be before the LCD Brightness value changes to conform to a DIM room (and vice versa with a higher value). • The DIM Mode Minimum Brightness bargraph indicates the current DIM Mode Brightness level. - This level corresponds to the brightness level of the LCD used when the DIM Mode is active. - The Brightness value of the panel in a DIM room (low-light) is much less than that of a Non-DIM (well to brightly-lit) where the LCD Brightness must be higher to display the screen content clearly. There is a relationship between the motion sensor and the panel sleep feature. If a panel is set to Sleep Mode, there is a time delay before the motion sensor is activated to detect motion. By creating a time delay to the detection, this allows a user to set the sleep mode and leave the panels’ detection range. In this way, the panel doesn’t awake immediately after the sleep is active and you move away. Using the Automated Brightness Control feature (DIM Mode) Please follow the steps below to set up Automated Brightness Control: 1. Set the lighting conditions in the room to maximum (turn On all the lights). 2. Set the Maximum Panel Brightness, from the Setup page, to a comfortable level. Sitting in front of the panel, you should be able to comfortably see someone sitting behind the panel without being “blinded” by the panel. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 111 Firmware Pages and Descriptions 3.

This information includes its corresponding IP communication parameters, wireless communication settings, and read the device number assigned to the Modero panel. These panels can use the NXA-PCI80211G wireless card for wireless communication. This card also supports Wired Encryption Protocol (WEP) encryption of 64-bit and 128-bit key lengths. Refer to both the Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview section on page 59 and Configuring a Wireless Connection section on page 60 for more detailed information of setting up the Modero panel for wireless network access. IP Settings section Wireless Settings section Red fields are user-editable Blue fields cycle through choices Grey fields are read-only FIG. 100 Wireless Settings page (showing default values) The elements of the Wireless Settings page are described in the table below: Wireless Settings Page Elements Back: Saves the changes and returns you to the previously active touch panel page. Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current visual update of the panel’s connection status regardless of what page is currently active. • A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection with a currently secured target Master (requiring a username and password). IP Settings: DHCP/STATIC Sets the IP communication values for the touch panel and contains: Sets the panel to either DHCP or Static communication modes. • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP Addresses to client stations logging onto a TCP/IP network from a DHCP server. • Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP network. Note: If DHCP is selected, the following fields become read-only: IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain. IP Address Sets the secondary IP Address assigned to the panel. Subnet Mask Sets a subnetwork address to the panel. • Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages into a particular network segment (subnet). 114 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Firmware Pages and Descriptions Wireless Settings Page Elements (Cont.) IP Settings (Cont.): Gateway Sets a gateway value to the panel. • Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between for two or more networks that use the same protocols. Host Name Sets the host name of the panel. • PRIMARY DNS sets the address of the primary DNS server being used by the Modero panel for host name lookups. - DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on a local network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by host and domain. The DNS server maintains a database of host names for its’ domain and their corresponding IP Addresses. • SECONDARY DNS sets the secondary DNS value to the panel. Primary DNS Sets the address of the primary DNS server used by the panel for host name lookups. Secondary DNS Sets the secondary DNS value to the Modero panel. Domain Sets the unique name on the Internet to the panel for DNS look-up. MAC Address This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the wireless mini-PCI Ethernet card. Access Point MAC Address: This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the Wireless Access Point (WAP). • When communicating with a WAP200G enter the MAC Address (BSSID) of the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed information on the interaction between these two product lines. Wireless Settings: Network Name (SSID) Sets the communication values for the NXA-PCI80211G mini-PCI wireless communication card installed within the Modero panel. Provides the Service Set Identifier (SSID), required by the panel, before it is permitted to join the wireless network. The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and assigned to all panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP. • It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wireless network. • This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users on the same network. Authentication Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open System or Shared Key: • An Open system network allows connections from any client without authenticating whether that client has permission to associate with the network. • A Shared key network requires the client to submit a key which is shared by the network Wireless Access Point before it is given permission to associate with the network. In this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key. • In both cases, even after association has taken place, if WEP encryption has also been enabled then the client will still require the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate successfully with the network. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 115 Firmware Pages and Descriptions Wireless Settings Page Elements (Cont.) Wireless Settings (Cont.): Encryption Cycles through the available encryption options: Clear Text, WEP64, and WEP128. Wired Equivalent Privacy is an 802.11 security protocol for wireless networks. The WEP encryption method is designed to provide the "equivalent" security available in wireline networks. • Clear Text causes network packets to be sent out as unencrypted text. • WEP64 enables WEP encryption at 64-bits. In this case all packets will be transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key. • WEP128 enables WEP encryption at 128-bits. 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. Generate (Passphrase) Pressing the Generate button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you to enter a passphrase and then AUTOMATICALLY generate all four WEP keys which are compatible only among Modero panels. • Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula. Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical keys when done on any Modero because they all use the same Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase generator is case sensitive. • Take these WEP keys and enter them into the target WAP. When also working with multiple panels, these WEP Keys (identical across all Modero panels) must be entered manually into the target WAP. • Once all panels have been setup in this way, these WEP keys can then be entered into the associated Wireless Access Point for ease of installation. • The Passphrase generator is unique to Modero panels. The Key generator on these Modero panels are specific and do not generate the same keys as other external non-AMX wireless devices. - Example: If you enter the word apple into the Passphrase generator on a 3rd-party Wireless Access Point, it comes back with 1a:2b:3c:4d:etc. Entering the same apple in the Passphrase generator of any Modero panel generates a different key: a1:b2:c3:d4:etc. Only AMX Modero panels generate the same Current Key by using a unique Passphrase key generation technology. A Current Key string, when generated anywhere else, will not match those created on the Modero panels. Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula.The passphrase generator is case sensitive. Default Key Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers in order to select a WEP key to use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the corresponding Current Key is displayed. Each of these 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. 116 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels Firmware Pages and Descriptions Wireless Settings Page Elements (Cont.) Wireless Settings (Cont.): WEP Keys This feature provides you with another level of security by selecting a Key value. • A single button is available for each WEP key up to a maximum of four keys. • Pushing any of these buttons brings up an on-screen keyboard. Keys should be entered in hexadecimal notation. It is common practice for every two characters (representing a single byte) to be separated by a colon. • Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value. • Ex: 01:0A:67:F3:56, although this is not necessary and the key may be entered by omitting the colons. A 64-bit key will be 10 characters in length while a 128-bit key will be 26 characters in length. The length of the key entered determines the level of WEP encryption employed. Either 64-bit or 128-bit. • 128-bit keys may also be entered and are used if supported by the internal wireless card. Current Key Displays the current WEP key in use. Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the keyboard initialization text. • When working with a single panel and a single WAP, it is recommended that you manually enter the Current Key from the WAP into the selected WEP Key. • When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, it is recommended that you generate a Current Key using the same passphrase on all panels and then enter the panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless Access Point. Channel The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read -only). • This is determined through the WAP. Link Quality Displays the current quality of the link (as descriptive colored text) from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access Point in real time. • The bargraph has been replaced with a descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. Green color text indicates better communication quality. • It reports the quality of the signal over the air (direct sequence spread spectrum). Even when the link quality is at its lowest you still have a connection and with it the ability to transmit and receive data, even if at much lower speeds. Note: Both Link Quality and Signal Strength are applicable to the RF connection only. It is quite possible to have an RF signal to a Wireless Access Point but be unable to communicate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings. Signal Strength SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is a measure of the relative strength of a wireless RF connection. This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless Access Point connection. • The bargraph has been replaced with a descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent. Green color text indicates better signal strength. • Given this value and the link quality above, a user can determine the noise level component of SNR. Ex: If the signal strength is high but the link quality is low then the cause of the link degradation is noise. However, if the signal strength is low and the link quality is low the cause would simply be signal strength. 1200V Modero Video Touch Panels 117 Firmware Pages and Descriptions Wireless Settings Page Elements (Cont.) Wireless Settings (Cont.): Data Rate The data rate (in Mbps) at which the panel is currently communicating with a target WAP at (dynamic). • As you move closer to the target WAP (and both the signal strength/ quality), the data rate increases and as the quality degrades this rate decreases. • Data rates for 802.11g communication are: 1, 2, 5.5, 11, and 54 Mbps. • Ex: 802.11g has a max data rate is 54 Mbps.

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. "^" Button Commands ^ANI Run a button animation (in 1/10 second). Syntax: "'^ANI- , , ,
