AMX Limited Warranty and Disclaimer
This Limited Warranty and Disclaimer extends only to products purchased directly from AMX or an AMX Authorized Partner which
include AMX Dealers, Distributors, VIP’s or other AMX authorized entity.
AMX warrants its products to be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three (3) years from the date of
purchase, with the following exceptions:
Electroluminescent and LCD Control Panels are warranted for three (3) years, except for the display and touch overlay compo-
nents are warranted for a period of one (1) year.
Disk drive mechanisms, pan/tilt heads, power supplies, and MX Series products are warranted for a period of one (1) year.
AMX lighting products are guaranteed to switch on and off any load that is properly connected to our lighting products, as long
as the AMX lighting products are under warranty. AMX also guarantees the control of dimmable loads that are properly con-
nected to our lighting products. The dimming performance or quality there of is not guaranteed, impart due to the random combi-
nations of dimmers, lamps and ballasts or transformers.
AMX software is warranted for a period of ninety (90) days.
Batteries and incandescent lamps are not covered under the warranty.
AMX AutoPatch Epica, Modula, Modula Series4, Modula CatPro Series and 8Y-3000 product models will be free of defects in
materials and manufacture at the time of sale and will remain in good working order for a period of three (3) years following the
date of the original sales invoice from AMX. The three-year warranty period will be extended to the life of the product (Limited
Lifetime Warranty) if the warranty card is filled out by the dealer and/or end user and returned to AMX so that AMX receives it
within thirty (30) days of the installation of equipment but no later than six (6) months from original AMX sales invoice date. The
life of the product extends until five (5) years after AMX ceases manufacturing the product model. The Limited Lifetime Warranty
applies to products in their original installation only. If a product is moved to a different installation, the Limited Lifetime Warranty
will no longer apply, and the product warranty will instead be the three (3) year Limited Warranty.
All products returned to AMX require a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number. The RMA number is obtained from the AMX
RMA Department. The RMA number must be clearly marked on the outside of each box. The RMA is valid for a 30-day period. After
the 30-day period the RMA will be cancelled. Any shipments received not consistent with the RMA, or after the RMA is cancelled, will
be refused. AMX is not responsible for products returned without a valid RMA number.
AMX is not liable for any damages caused by its products or for the failure of its products to perform. This includes any lost profits, lost
savings, incidental damages, or consequential damages. AMX is not liable for any claim made by a third party or by an AMX Autho-
rized Partner for a third party.
This Limited Warranty does not apply to (a) any AMX product that has been modified, altered or repaired by an unauthorized agent or
improperly transported, stored, installed, used, or maintained; (b) damage caused by acts of nature, including flood, erosion, or earth-
quake; (c) damage caused by a sustained low or high voltage situation or by a low or high voltage disturbance, including brownouts,
sags, spikes, or power outages; or (d) damage caused by war, vandalism, theft, depletion, or obsolescence.
This limitation of liability applies whether damages are sought, or a claim is made, under this warranty or as a tort claim (including
negligence and strict product liability), a contract claim, or any other claim. This limitation of liability cannot be waived or amended by
any person. This limitation of liability will be effective even if AMX or an authorized representative of AMX has been advised of the
possibility of any such damages. This limitation of liability, however, will not apply to claims for personal injury.
Some states do not allow a limitation of how long an implied warranty last. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of inci-
dental or consequential damages for consumer products. In such states, the limitation or exclusion of the Limited Warranty may not
apply. This Limited Warranty gives the owner specific legal rights. The owner may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
The owner is advised to consult applicable state laws for full determination of rights.

Composite or S-Video), data (via Ethernet), and audio to Modero touch panels located up to 200 feet (60.96 m)
from the breakout box. NXD-700Vi panels are ideally suited for displaying full motion video and audio with
overlay graphics for applications with demanding visual requirements.
Key features common to both panels include:
-NXD-700Vi panels are based on the latest display technology and support AMX's 4th generation
(G4) graphics which provide higher brightness, richer colors, and deeper contrast. The new G4
graphics technology is supported by the latest AMX TPDesign4 Touch Panel Design program
(version 2.6 or higher).
-NXD-700Vi panels display eye-catching images and full-motion video on a large 16:9 image
format, while providing a wide 100-degree top-to-bottom viewing angle.
-NXD-700Vi panels feature a front panel light sensor, motion sensor, IR receiver and a Sleep/Setup

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. 8 provides a layout of the wiring connection both into and
from the breakout box.
The rear-panel wiring connections are described below (from left to right):
FIG. 8 NXA-AVB/ETHERNET Breakout Box connector wiring diagram
AUDIO IN: 6-pin mini-Phoenix connector, divided into left and right audio channels. 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: 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.
•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. 9) to configure an
unbalanced audio connection.
When using unbalanced audio for the AUDIO IN connector (FIG. 9), 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. 9), 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.
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:
When connecting the MIC OUT connector to a balanced audio input (FIG. 10), 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.

Overview
Upgrading the cards within the Wall Mount panel involves removing the rear plastic outer housing (back box),
removing the existing card, replacing it, and then placing the back box back onto the NXD panel, as described
in the following sections.
Step 1: Remove the existing NXD Outer Housing
1. Carefully detach all connectors from the side of the touch panel and remove the Faceplate from the front
of the panel.
2. Place the LCD facedown on a soft cloth to expose the under-side of the unit (FIG. 3). This step helps
prevent scratching of the LCD.
3. Firmly press down on both connector overlay release latches (located in front of the connectors). Pressing
down releases the connector overlay from atop the connectors.
4. Gently slide the connector overlay away from the back box housing.
5. Unscrew the outer housing (back box) by using a grounded Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the two
sets of pan-head Housing Screws, located on both sides of the housing (FIG. 3).

6. Carefully lift-off the back box housing and angle it over to the side of the unit where the wires are
connected to the circuit board.
7. Gently lay the back box to one side of the unit. This exposes the internal circuit board (FIG. 4). Take care
not to place undue strain on the speaker cables.
Step 2: Install the new Compact Flash Memory card
1. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object and then locate the
existing 128 MB Compact Flash card on the main board (FIG. 5).
2. Insert the tip of a grounded flat-head screwdriver into one of the card removal grooves (located on either
side of the existing card), and gently pry the card out of the slot (FIG. 6). Repeat this process on the
opposite card removal groove. This alternating action causes the card to "wiggle" away from the on-board
connector pins.
3. Grip the old card by its sides and then carefully pull it out of the slot.
4. Remove the new CF memory card from it’s anti-static bag.
5. Grip the sides of the new CF memory card and firmly insert it into slot opening (with the arrow facing
towards the pins) until the contact pins are completely inside the flash card and it is then securely attached
to the pin sockets.

1. Gently place the outer housing back onto the panel and align the four pan-head Housing Screws holes
along the edges of the outer housing.
2. Insert and secure the four pan-head Housing Screws back into their pre-drilled holes by using a grounded
Phillips-head screwdriver.
3. Slip the connector overlay back into the connector opening by inserting the top of the overlay into the
connector opening in an upwards direction.
4. Align the connectors to their respective locations and secure the overlay by pushing it towards the
connectors until the overlay securely snaps back into the overlay release latches.
5. Re-install the faceplate back onto the panel. Refer to the Installing the Button Trim Ring section on
page 26 for more detailed faceplate installation information.

Overview
NXD-700Vi panels are installed into either a pre-wall surface (using a CB-TP7 conduit/wallbox) or a solid
surface (using either solid surface or drywall screws).
Installing the No-Button Trim Ring
The NXD-700Vi panel is shipped from AMX with the default Button Trim Ring already installed. The unit is
also shipped with an included Trim Ring containing no button openings (a No-Button Trim Ring) that allows
you, if desired, to change the default configuration of the NXD panel Faceplate to that with no-button
openings. In order to install this included No-Button Trim Ring, you must first remove the factory-installed
default Button Trim Ring, the six small buttons, and associated two clear light pipes.
1. The Faceplate is secured to the panel with plastic latches. To remove the Faceplate, simply pull it away
from the panel by gently tugging it outwards until the entire Faceplate comes away from the panel.
2. Turn the Faceplate over to expose the inside surface and view the Trim Ring latches (FIG. 7).
3. In a single motion, press down and then outwards on the three Trim Ring latches located along the top of
the internal surface of the Faceplate to begin removing the Button Trim Ring. Removing the Internal
Faceplate from the panel exposes the pushbuttons and light pipes along the inside of the Internal
Faceplate.
4. Gently tug along the edges of the Button Trim Ring and work your way around the edges to remove it
from the Faceplate (FIG. 7).
It is recommended that if you are planning on upgrading your flash memory, you do
so before beginning any panel installations.

28 NXD-700Vi 7" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
Pre-Wall Installation of the Conduit Box
Wall Mount panels (NXDs) are contained within an outer housing (back box). This back box is not removed
when installing the NXD into a Conduit Box (CB-TP7). The back box is only removed to gain access for the
replacement of the internal components.
The CB-TP7 is an optional metallic box that is secured onto a stud/beam in a pre-wall setting (where no walls
are present). Installation procedures and configurations can vary depending on the installation environment.
This section describes the installation procedures for the most common installation scenario. The most
important thing to remember when mounting this conduit box is that the NXD-700Vi Mounting Tabs must lie
flush against the outside of the sheetrock (FIG. 11).
-Refer to SP-2258-02 for detailed installation dimensions.
-It is recommended that you cut out the surface slightly smaller than what is outlined in the
installation drawings so that you can make any necessary cutout adjustments.
-The wiring knockouts on the left side will be used for the NXD-700Vi Wall Mount panel
connectors, so always secure the conduit box to the stud using the Stud Mounting Holes on the
right side of the box.
1. Rest the right Stud Mounting tabs onto the stud (keeping the knockouts on the left). Be sure to leave
enough of a gap between the stud and NXD Mounting tabs to accommodate the installation of the
drywall or sheetrock after the conduit box has been mounted. Ultimately, the Mounting Tabs
should lie flush against the outside of the sheetrock.
2. Fasten the CB-TP7 conduit box to the stud through the holes on the right Stud Mounting tabs (FIG. 11),
using either nails or screws.
3. Remove the wiring knockouts from the left side of the conduit box (CB-TP7) (FIG. 11) to accommodate
the cables being threaded through to the NXD touch panel.

Wiring Guidelines for the NXD-700Vi Panels
NXD-700Vi panels use a 12 VDC-compliant power supply to provide power to the panel via the 2-pin
3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector. Use the previously provided power requirement information to
determine the power draw.
The incoming PWR and GND wires from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding locations
within the PWR connector.
Preparing Captive Wires
You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and
connector types described in this section).
3. Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so
may strip the threads and damage the connector.
Don’t disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with
the necessary connectors before being inserted into the equipment rack.
These units should only have one source of incoming power. Using more than one
source of power to the touch panel can result in damage to the internal components
and a possible burn out.
Apply power to the panels only after installation is complete.
Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

Using the Site Survey tool
This tool allows a user to "sniff-out" all transmitting Wireless Access Points within the detection range of the
internal NXA-WC80211GCF. Once pressed, the panel displays the Site Survey page which contains categories
such as:
-Network Name (SSID) - Wireless Access Point names
-Channel (RF) - Channel currently being used by the WAP (Wireless Access Point)
-Security Type (if detectable - such as WEP, OPEN and UNKNOWN) - security protocol enabled
on the WAP
-Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
-MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page.
2. Navigate to the Access Point MAC Address section of this page and press the on-screen
Site Survey button. This action launches the Site Survey page which displays a listing of all detected
WAPs in the communication range of the internal card.
-The card scans its environment every four seconds and adds any new WAPs found to the list. Every
scan cycle updates the signal strength field.
-Access points are tracked by MAC Address.
-If the WAP’s SSID is set as a blank, then N/A is displayed within the SSID field.
-If the WAP’s SSID is hidden (not broadcast) it will not show up on the site survey screen but
it can still be configured via the SSID field on the specified security mode screen.
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.

-If a WAP is displayed in the list is not detected for 10 scans in a row it is then removed from
the screen. In this way, a user can walk around a building and see access points come and go
as they move in and out of range.
3. Sort the information provided on this page by pressing on a column name and toggling the direction of
the adjacent arrow.
-Up arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Ascending order.
-SSID (A to Z), Channel (1 to 14), Security (Unknown to WEP), Signal (None to Excellent).
The firmware considers the following to be the security order from least secure to most
secure: Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and Unknown.
-Down arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Descending order.
-SSID (Z to A), Channel (11 to 6), Security (WEP to Unknown), Signal (Excellent to None)
4. Select a desired Access Point by touching the corresponding row. The up arrow and down arrow will be
grayed out if there are ten or less access points detected. If there are more, then they will be enabled as
appropriate so that the user can scroll through the list.
5. With the desired WAP selected and highlighted, click the Connect button to be directed to the selected
security mode’s Settings page with the SSID field filled in. You can then either Cancel the operation or
fill in any necessary information fields and then click Save.
If you select an Open, WEP, and WPA-PSK Access Point and then click Connect, you will be flipped to the
corresponding Settings page. For any other security mode, if you click Connect you will only return to the
previous page without any information being pre-filled out for you.
-In an Open security mode, when a target WAP is selected and the connect to, the SSID name of the
selected WAP is saved for the open security mode.
-In a Static WEP security mode, when a WEP Access Point is selected and then connected to, the
user is then redirected back to the Static WEP security screen where the SSID field is already filled
out and the user is only required to enter in the remaining WEP key settings.
-A similar process occurs for WPA-PSK access points. For any other case, the firmware switches
back to the previous page and security and connection parameters must be entered in as normal.

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 given 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. For this reason, we recommend FIRST creating the
Current Key on the Modero and then entering that information into the appropriate NXA-WAP200G
fields.
Automatically set SSID
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Wireless Settings.
2. Press the Site Survey button.
3. Select a WEP secured WAP from within the Site Survey page, and press the Connect button.
4. Write down the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC Address information so you can
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.

-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.
5. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 33) until it reads either: 64 Bit Key Size or 128 Bit Key Size.
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.
6. 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. This value MUST MATCH on both devices.
- These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.
7. 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 an NXA-WAP200G) generate the Current Key
- Do not press the Generate button and continue with Step 13.
-This keyboard allows you to enter a Passphrase (such as AMXPanel) and then AUTOMATICALLY
generate a WEP key which is compatible only among all Modero panels.
8. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG. 34), enter a character string or word (such as
AMXPanel) and press Done when you have finished.
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.
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.

wireless connection to the network.
USB
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. For a PC to establish a USB connection with a Modero panel, it must
have the AMX USBLAN driver installed.
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.

NXD-700Vi 7" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
Upgrading Modero Firmware
Overview
Before beginning the Upgrade process:
-Setup and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the 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 39.
-Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x 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 41 for more information.
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.
Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port
Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both 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
mini-USB connector to the panel.
Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type
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.
2. 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.
3. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page.
4. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB.
The latest NXD-700Vi firmware kit file is now panel-specific.
Only NXD-700Vi firmware should be loaded onto this specific panel type.
This new firmware also provides both backwards compatibility with the previous
802.11b cards and new security protocols for the new 802.11g wireless CF card.
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.
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.
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.

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 a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection icon still does not turn green, complete
the procedures in the following section to setup 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).
8. Navigate back to the System Settings page.
Step 2: Prepare NetLinx Studio for communication via the USB port
1. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx
Studio 2 > NetLinx Studio 2).
2. Select Settings > Master Communication Settings, from the Main menu to open the Master
Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 47).
3. Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog.
4. Click on the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate that you are
working as a NetLinx Master.
5. Click on the Virtual Master radio box (from the Transport Connection Option section) to indicate you
are wanting to configure the PC to communicate directly with a panel. Everything else such as the
Authentication is greyed-out because you are not going through the Master’s UI.
ALL fields are then greyed-out and read-only, but still display any previous network
information.

both the system number used in step 7 for the Virtual NetLinx Master (VNM) is entered into the Master
Connection section of the System Settings page and the panel is restarted.
Step 3: Confirm and Upgrade the firmware via the USB port
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.
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. 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. 48) to view the devices
on the Virtual System. The default System value is one.
4. Right-click on the System entry (FIG. 48) and select Refresh System to re-populate the list.
Verify the panel appears in the OnLine Tree tab of the Workspace window.

RF Link Info (Cont.):
Link Quality Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good,
Very Good, and Excellent).
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 communi-
cate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
Signal Strength This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
Access Point connection in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and
Excellent).
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.
Data Rate The data rate (in Mbps) at which the panel is currently communicating with the
target WAP.
Note: Data rates for 802.11b communication are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.

entry must match the Network Name (SSID) entry of the target WAP so the panel knows what device it is
using to communicate with the network.

WEP 64 / WEP 128: Cycles through the available encryption options: 64 or 128 Bit Key Size.
“WEP” (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an 802.11 security protocol designed to
provide wireless security equivalent to wired networks.
WEP64 enables WEP encryption using a 64 Bit Key Size. All packets are
transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
WEP128 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.
Generate (Passphrase): This button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you to enter a pass-
phrase. The panel then automatically generates four WEP keys (compatible
only with Modero panels). Enter these WEP keys into the target WAP.
When working with multiple panels, WEP Keys must be entered into the WAP
for each panel.
All Modero panels use the same code key generator. Therefore, this
Passphrase generates identical keys on any Modero panel.
The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.
Note: This Key generator is unique to Modero panels and does not generate
the same keys as non-AMX wireless devices. For example, a Current Key
string generated anywhere else will not match those created on Modero pan-
els.
Default Key: Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers to select a WEP key to
use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the corresponding
“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.
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
HEX keys are supported. Up to four keys can be configured for both.
An ASCII key utilizes either 5 or 13 ASCII characters
A HEX key utilizes either 10 or 26 Hexidecimal characters
Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value.
Note: 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 (64 or 128-bit). 128-bit keys may be used if sup-
ported by the internal wireless card.

Authentication: Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open + WEP (broadcast
publicly) or Shared + WEP (encrypted).
•An Open + WEP network allows connections from any client without
authentication.
•A Shared + WEP 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.

WPA-PSK security is designed for environments where is it desirable to use WPA or WPA2, 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-LEAP Settings
Press the EAP-LEAP button to open the EAP-LEAP Settings page (FIG. 72).
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.
EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where it is not required to have a client or server
certificate validation scheme in place, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.
FIG. 72 Wireless Settings page - EAP-LEAP Settings
LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates and is therefore one
of the least secure EAP security methods but can be utilized successfully by
implementing sufficiently complex passwords.

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”.

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
keyboard which allows you to enter the name of the file containing the PAC
shared secret credentials for use in authentication.

EAP-TTLS Settings
Press the EAP-TTLS button to opens the EAP-TTLS Settings page (FIG. 76).
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 it is necessary to have the Radius server
directly validate 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.

Client certificate configuration
There are several ways in which a client certificate can be configured by an IT department. 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)
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:
It is important to note which certificate types are supported by the different certificate fields used on the
configuration screens (PEAP, TTLS, and TLS). The following table outlines the firmware fields and their

Sensor Setup Page Elements (Cont.)
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.
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.
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).

Making the Most of 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.
3. Open the Sensors Setup page (FIG. 81) from the Protected Setup menu section.
4. Move around the panel and block the direct or indirect light from the room fixtures with your body. Take
note of the drop in the lighting level being detected by the panel in response to your movements.
5. Set the Maximum brightness of the Dimmer (Dim Mode Max Level) below the detected drop. This will
make sure that the panel does not react to variations in the lighting conditions of a normal working
environment.
6. Set the minimum lighting conditions in the room (not complete darkness but the minimal lighting setup,
unless complete darkness is an “operational option” for the room).
7. Set the Minimum Dimmer Brightness (Dim Mode Min Level) to a comfortable level by sitting in front of
the panel. You should be able to comfortably see someone sitting behind the panel without being
“blinded” by the panel.
8. Move around the panel and block the direct or indirect light from the room fixtures with your body. Take
note of the drop in the lighting level being detected by the panel in response to your movements.
9. Set the Minimum brightness of the Dimmer (Dim Mode Max Level) below the detected drop. This will
make sure that the panel does not react to variations in the lighting conditions of a normal working
environment.
Sensor Setup Page Elements (Cont.)
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.
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.
Sitting in front of the panel, you should be able to comfortably see someone sitting
behind the panel without being “blinded” by the panel.
The maximum (upper level) of the dimmer should be at least 15% lower than the
maximum detected level.
The minimum (lower level) of the dimmer should be at least 10% lower than the
minimum detected level (ex: lower dimmer level at 30% if the detected lighting of the
room is at 40%).

Image Caching Page
The Image Caching page (FIG. 83) configures the allocation of memory for image caching. The G4 graphics
engine caches images to decrease load time of previously viewed images. RAM caching is always enabled,
and images (both static and dynamic) 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 it is typically faster to retrieve images on Flash than across a network
(although it is slower than 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.

100 * (# of cache hits) / (# of cache hits + # of cache misses)
# of cache hits - the number of times an image was requested that the image
was found in the cache
# of cache misses - the number of times an image was requested that the
image could not be found in the cache, and the image had to either be loaded
from flash or obtained via the network (for dynamic images). It is considered a
RAM Cache Miss even if the image is subsequently found in flash cache.
Items in Cache (RAM) The number of images that are currently stored in the RAM cache.
Flash Current Size The maximum flash space allocated for image caching. Flash space is used for
caching only when there is not enough available memory in the RAM cache for
a newly requested image (it is used only for dynamic images).
Flash Hit Rate The percentage of image requests (dynamic only) that are satisfied by
accessing the flash cache.
100 * (# of flash cache hits) / (# of flash cache hits + # of flash cache misses)
# of flash cache hits - # of times a dynamic image could not be found in RAM
cache but was found in flash cache
# of flash cache misses - # of times a dynamic image could not be found in
either RAM or flash cache. RAM cache hits are not relevant in this calculation.

SIP Settings Page
The options on the SIP Settings page (FIG. 85) enable you to establish network settings for using your touch
panel as an IP phone. With a CSG SIP Communications Gateway (FG2182-01, -02, -03), you can use your
touch panel to make and receive local, long distance, and international phone calls, and have access to phone
features like call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding, call queuing, and voice mail. Setting up your touch panel
as a telephone requires that you set it up as one in the CSG SIP Communications Gateway. Refer to the CSG
SIP Communications Gateway Operation/Reference Guide for information on setting up your touch panel to
work as a telephone.
You may need to load a Duet module to enable the touch panel to receive SIP calls. The Duet module translates
between the standard interface and the device protocol. It parses the buffer for responses from the device,
sends strings to control the device, and receives commands from the UI module or telnet sessions. Refer to the
documentation supplied with the Duet Module for more details.

A message is sent to the master once per second and expects a response.
If it is received the button stays green.
If it is missed the button goes yellow.
After three misses (3 seconds) it will go red until a response from the master
is received, and then it will be green again.
Once per second, a user can know whether they are standing in a good
wireless area (all green), an area of limited coverage (lots of yellow, some
green, some red), or an area with no coverage (all red).
Connection Information
Master IP The IP Address for the connected master.
Panel IP The IP Address for the panel.
Wireless Information
WAP MAC The MAC Address for the WAP currently in use.
If the MAC Address changes, it means the panel has switched/roamed to a
different access point. This can be used to determine coverage for each access
point and help isolate "brown" areas where coverage is minimal or non-existent,
and thus require another access installed.
SSID Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
Channel The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read -only).
Data Rate The data rate (in Mbps) at which the panel is currently communicating with the
target WAP.
Note: Data rates for 802.11b communication are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
Link Quality Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good,
Very Good, and Excellent).
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 communi-
cate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
Signal Strength This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
Access Point connection in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and
Excellent).
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.
Connection Statistics
Query Messages Sent The number of messages sent from the panel to the master.
Responses Received The number of responses the panel has received from the master.
Responses Missed The number of expected responses from the master to the panel missed.

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 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. 90). Below is a
description of this process. It is important to note that there is no user intervention necessary during this
process. It proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel.
A server certificate file uses a certificate that is 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 then, 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.

Creating Intercom Pages
The easiest method of creating your own intercom pages is to start with the pages provided by AMX in the
module download .ZIP file. You can change the aesthetics of the pages as long as the channel, address, level
and links remain untouched.
For the more ambitious panel designers, the necessary intercom directory buttons and their information are
contained in the Sample Intercom Page table on page 130.
Additionally, the Setup page, Advanced Setup page, and the popups can be edited. See below:

"^" 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.

The following is a listing of text effects names (associated with the ^TEF command on page 162).
"^" Button Commands (Cont.)
^UNI
Set Unicode text.
For the ^UNI command (%UN and ^BMF command), the Unicode text is sent as
ASCII-HEX nibbles.
Syntax:
"'^UNI-<vt addr range>,<button states range>,<unicode text>'"
Variable:
variable text address range = 1 - 4000.
button states range = 1 - 256 for multi-state buttons (0 = All states, for General buttons
1 = Off state and 2 = On state).
unicode text = Unicode HEX value.
Example:
SEND_COMMAND Panel,"'^UNI-500,1,0041'"
Sets the button’s unicode character to ’A’.
Note: To send the variable text ’A’ in unicode to all states of the variable text
button 1, (for which the character code is 0041 Hex), send the following command:
SEND_COMMAND TP,"'^UNI-1,0,0041'"
Note: Unicode is always represented in a HEX value. TPD4 generates (through the Text
Enter Box dialog) unicode HEX values. Refer to the TPDesign4 Instruction Manual for
more information.

^RAF, ^RMF - Embedded Codes (Cont.)
Parameter Embedded Code Description
refresh ’%R <refresh 1-65535>’ 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.
The default value is 0 (only download the resource once).
newest ’%N <0-1>’ 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.

Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks
Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be
dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These codes
are entered into the text field along with any other text.
The following is a code list used for bargraphs:
Buy changing the text on a button (via a VT command) you can modify the codes on a button. When one of the
Text Formatting Codes is encountered by the firmware it is replaced with the correct value. These values are
derived from the following operations:
Given a current raw level value of 532, a range low value of 500 and a high range value of 600 the following
text formatting codes would yield the following strings as shown in the table below:

Text Area Input Masking
Text Area Input Masking can 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 but,
with input masking, you could limit them 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:
With this feature, it is NOT necessary to:
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.
Force you to use 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
Limit you 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
Character Types
Character Masking Rule
0 Digit (0 to 9, entry required, plus [+] and minus [-] signs not allowed)
9 Digit or space (entry not required, plus and minus signs not allowed)
# Digit or space (entry not required; plus and minus signs allowed)
L Letter (A to Z, entry required)
? Letter (A to Z, entry optional)
A Letter or digit (entry required)
a Letter or digit (entry optional)
& Any character or a space (entry required)
C 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.

NXD-700Vi 7" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
Refer to the following Send Commands for more detailed information:
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.
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.
An example from the above table:
{.} or {:} or {.:} Tells the system that after a user hits any of these keys, proceed to the
next text area input box.
Input mask operations
Input Mask Operators change the behavior of the field in the following way:
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 keys,
backspace, and delete.
^BIM - Sets the input mask for the specified addresses. (see the ^BIM section on
page 149).
^BMF subcommand %MK - sets the input mask of a text area (see the
^BMF section on page 150).

Appendix A: Text Formatting
194 NXD-700Vi 7" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
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 max, 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".
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 there are no more fields left (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 hit "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.
Input mask output examples
The following are some common input masking examples:
URL Resources
A URL can be broken into several parts. For example: the URL http://www.amx.com/company-info-home.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/company-
info-home.asp.

Special escape sequences
The system has only a limited knowledge of URL formats in that 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/

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 Wi-Fi 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 you can expect to obtain 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 shorter in range but also a weaker and less consistent signal.
802.11g provides increased bandwidth at 54 Mbps. As part of the IEEE 802.11g 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, 802.11g 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.
-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.
-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 64-bit and 128-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.
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.

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, 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, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for
wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, message integrity check and re-keying
mechanism, thus ensuring 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 (Wi-
Fi). 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 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), and then by the full IEEE 802.11i
standard (also known as WPA2).
Appendix B - Wireless Technology
199
NXD-700Vi 7" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
-WPA
-Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of system used to secure wireless (Wi-Fi)
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.
-To resolve problems with WEP, the Wi-Fi Alliance released WPA (FIG. 98) 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. 98 WPA Overview

200 NXD-700Vi 7" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
-WPA2
-Also know as IEEE 802.11i, 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 Wi-Fi Alliance has branded as
WPA2.

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 there are currently over 40 different EAP methods defined, the current
internal Modero 802.11g 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. 100). Below is a
description of this process. It is important to note that there is no user intervention necessary during this
process. It proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel.
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 firewall
rules.

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 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
- Compatible panels include: MVP-8400, MVP-7500, NXD-CV10, NXT-CV10,
NXD-CV7, NXT-CV7, NXD-700Vi, and NXD-1000Vi.
-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)
Configuring your G4 Touch Panel for USB Communication
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 and NetLinx
Studio2 software setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on
www.amx.com.
Step 1: Setup 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 Setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
This application must be run from a local machine and should not be used from a
remote network location.
Close the Certificate Upload Utility before configuring the touch panel's USB driver.
Only after the panel has been successfully setup to communicate via USB can you
then re-launch the utility.
Appendix B - Wireless Technology
204 NXD-700Vi 7" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
Step 2: Confirm 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.
2. Connect the terminal end of the power cable to the 12 VDC power connector on the side/rear of the pane,
and supply power. If using an MVP that is installed onto a docking station, feed power to the docked
panel by connecting the appropriate power supply to the docking station.
After the panel powers-up, access the firmware setup pages by either:
- MVP - Pressing and holding the two lower buttons on both sides of the display for 3 seconds.
- CV7/CV10 - Pressing the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds.
- 700Vi/1000Vi - Pressing the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds.
3. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page.
4. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB.
-The connection remains RED after changing the communication from Ethernet to USB until the
panel is rebooted.
-Once the panel restarts, the connection turns a dark green until connected to an active USB cable.
5. Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.
6. 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.
7. 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 appears on the PC.
8. Complete the USB driver installation process by clicking Yes and then installing the new AMX USB
LAN LINK when told that a new USB device was found. This action accepts the installation of the new
AMX USB driver.
9. Reboot the panel. Once restarted, the panel is now configured to communicate directly with the PC.
10. Launch the Certificate Upload Utility and confirm the utility has detected the new USB connection to the
panel:
-Click on the Local Address field's drop-down arrow.
-Confirm the new USB entry shows up in the list as: 10.XX.XX.1.
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.
The mini-USB connector MUST be then plugged into an already active panel before
the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver. This
driver is part of both the NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 software application
installations.

How to Upload 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 to properly communicate
with a directly connected G4 touch panel (MVP/CV7/CV10/700Vi/1000Vi).
-Refer to Step 1 from within the previous Step 1: Setup the Panel and PC for USB
Communication section on page 203.
2. Access the target panel's Protected Setup firmware page and configure the USB communication
parameters.
-Refer to Step 2 from within the previous Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the
PC section on page 204.
3. With the panel successfully communicating with target computer, launch the Certificate Upload Utility.
-Familiarize yourself with the User Interface options (Certificate Utility User Interface).
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 communication through either the
computer's Ethernet port (Internet communication) or via the USB port (direct connection). If using an
Ethernet connection skip to step 8.
6. For a USB connection, select the 10.XX.XX.1 IP Address which corresponds to the virtual IP Address
assigned to the USB connection port on the computer.
7. For a USB connection, navigate to the Add IP Address field (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 10.0.0.1 then you would add an address for the
directly connected panel of 10.0.0.2 (this is one greater than the USB address value detected by the
utility).
-You can send a certificate to ONLY ONE directly connected panel (via USB). If using the
Ethernet port's IP Address, you can send a server certificate to multiple target panels.
8. For an Ethernet IP Address connection, 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 your list is complete, click on the File drop-down menu and select the Save option to launch a Save
dialog where you can assign a name to the current list of addresses and then save the information (as a
TXT (text) file) to a known location.
12. Select the target devices which be uploaded with the selected certificate. These can either 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 you are 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, your upload was successfully completed.
This application must be run from a local machine and should not be used from a
remote network location.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting
This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common
operation of a Modero touch panel.
Troubleshooting Information
Symptom Solution
My USB drivers has a yellow
exclamation point and doesn’t
appear to be working.
The USB driver was incorrectly installed and should be re-installed:
Power up the panel without the USB cable connected to the panel.
Plug in the USB cable into the G4 panel. You should see a USB icon
show up in the System Tray.
Double click on the icon to bring up the list of USB devices (you
should see the "AMX USB LAN LINK" device in the list).
If the "Install Driver" dialog doesn't appear automatically, select the
"Properties" button and then the "Update Driver" button.
When the Install Driver dialog does appear, click Next to accept all
the default prompts.
The OS will notify you that the driver you are installing/updating does
not have a digital signature. This is acceptable, agree to continue the
installation.
After installation is complete, the exclamation point should disappear.
When using G4 WebControl to
communicate with a target panel, a
VNC Server dialog appears on my
screen.
During a WebControl connection to a target panel you are prompted
with a G4 Authentication dialog which asks you to enter the assigned
password for the panel (before gaining access).
If you are ever prompted with a VNC Server dialog, you must enter
the IP Address of the target panel. This can be found within the
Setup > Protected Setup > System Settings page.
- This IP Address of the panel appears within the IP Settings
section of this page
Enter the IP Address and click OK. You will then be prompted with
the G4 Authentication popup where you must enter the panel’s
WebControl password.
While attempting to communicate
directly with the Virtual Master (on
the PC) via a USB connection, I
can’t get my communication icon
to turn Green.
A Green communication icon indicates that a connection has been
established to the target Master or target Virtual Master.
Launch NetLinx Studio and configure the Master Connection
communication settings for a Virtual Master.
Navigate to the System Settings page and toggle the
Type field to USB.
Make sure the Type-A USB connector is securely connected to the
PC.
Make sure the panel DOESN’T have the mini-USB connected and
TURN OFF the panel.
Once the panel has turned ON THEN connect the mini-USB to the
Program Port. The USB icon should appear in your system tray. If it
doesn’t.
The panel can take a few minutes to detect the connection to the PC.
My Modero panel isn’t appearing
in my Workspace window. Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx
Workspace window and the System Settings page on the Modero
panel.
Verify you have entered the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection
methods into the Master Connection section of the System Settings
page.

Symptom Solution
My Modero panel 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.
Verify there is an active Ethernet connection attached to the rear of
the Modero before beginning these procedures.
•Select Diagnostics > Network Address, from the Main menu and
verify the System number.
If the IP Address field is still empty, give the Modero a few minutes to
negotiate a DHCP Address and try again.
My panel is not showing up in the
Virtual Master’s System list of
connected devices.
If you a Virtual Master has already connected to the target panel, the
G4 device retains the information of the previous Virtual Master System
number.
Reboot the panel without the USB cable plugged into the panel.
Configure NetLinx Studio for a Virtual Master connection. Note the
System Number used in the Edit Settings window.
Stop communication on the Virtual Master by going to Settings >
Stop Communications.
Click Yes to stop communication.
Select the System Number (from the Online Tree tab) and use a right
mouse click to select Refresh System. This re-establishes
communication with the Virtual Master.
Plug-in the mini-USB cable into the corresponding port on the panel.
Wait a few seconds and refresh the system. This re-establishes
communication with the Virtual Master. The panel should now appear
in the list of available devices.
My Connection Status button isn’t
blinking and it says the USB is
connecting.
"USB Connecting" is displayed when the panel is trying to establish
USB communication with the PC (either within the NetLinx Studio or
TPDesign4 applications).
Remove the USB connector from the panel and close any AMX
applications.
Reboot the panel.
Launch the AMX application and attempt reconnect to the panel.
If using Studio for Virtual Master communication, establish a Virtual
Master connection, verify the correct System number, stop
communication with the Virtual Master, and then re-establish
communication by refreshing the system.
After the panel powers-up, reconnect the USB connector to the
panel.
Verify that you have a valid USB connection from within your System
Tray.
My on-screen mouse cursor
doesn’t appear. The USB connections are not detected until after the particular USB
connection plugged into the corresponding port on the panel and
power is cycled to the panel.
Calibration is not working. After the Modero touch panel has been updated with a new firmware
kit (downloaded to the panel through NetLinx Studio), the calibration
could need to be reset.
Cycling power to the panel should provide a baseline calibration for
the particular touch panel. Proceed to the Calibration page and reset
the on-screen calibration.
Panel doesn’t respond to my
touches The protective cover acts to press on the entire LCD and makes
calibration difficult because the user can’t calibrate on specific
crosshairs when the sheet is pressing on the whole LCD.
Verify that the protective laminate coating on the LCD is removed
before beginning any calibration process.

Symptom Solution
There is a crawling, dashed line on
the left border of the graphics. On some units at some resolutions, there are wavy lines across the
entire screen. This has been seen on middle resolutions and is
referred to as the "Mid Range Fallout" problem.
This is due to the graphics controller settings in the firmware.
Update to the latest v2.XX.XX firmware.
Visit the www.amx.com > Tech Center > Downloadable Files >
Firmware Files > Modero panels. Then Download the KIT file to
your computer.
My WEP doesn’t seem to be
working. WEP will not work unless the same default key is set on both the
panel and the Access Point.
For example: if you had your access point set to default key 4 (which
was 01:02:03:04:05) you must also set the Modero’s panel key 4 to
01:02:03:04:05.
NetLinx Studio only detects one of
my connected Masters. Each Master is give 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 ME260/64 can be assigned System #1 and
the NI-4000 can then be assigned System #2 using two open
sessions of NetLinx Studio 2.
I can’t seem to connect to a
NetLinx Master using my NetLinx
Studio 2.x application.
From the Settings > Master Comm Settings > Communication
Settings > Settings (for TCP/IP), 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, you will still attempt to make a connection, but a failure will
take longer to be recognized. Some firewalls and networks do not
allow pinging, though, and the ping will then always result in a failure.
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.
Note: 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.
I have more that one Modero panel
connected to my System Master
and only one shows up.
Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices (such as Modero panels) can be
associated for use with a single Master. Each Modero panel comes
with a defaulted Device Number value of 10001. When using multiple
panels, it can become very easy to overlook the need to assign
different Device Number values to each panel.
Press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button for 3 seconds to
open the Setup page.
Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the
panel page), enter 1988 into the on-screen Keypad’s password field,
and press Done when finished.
Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number
Keypad. The default is 10001 and the range is from 1 - 32000.

After downloading a panel file or
firmware to a G4 device, the panel
behaves strangely.
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.
Cause:
If the G4 device 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.
Solution:
DO NOT download TPD4 files (of large size) over the demo pages, or
any other large TPD4 file.
First download a small blank one page file to the G4 panel using the
Normal Transfer option to send/download the page. Reboot the
device, then do your regular file or firmware download.
