The SSID is a unique name used by the WAP, and is assigned to all panels on that network. An SSID is required by the WAP before the panel is permitted to join the network. • The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. • Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network. • NXA-WAP200Gs use AMX as their default SSID.
Protected Setup Pages EAP-FAST Settings Press the EAP-FAST button to open the EAP-FAST Settings dialog (FIG. 69). FIG. 69 Wireless Settings page - EAP-FAST Settings 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.
Protected Setup Pages EAP-FAST Settings (Cont.) Anonymous Identity: Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter an IT provided alphanumeric string which (similar to the username) is used as the identity, but that does not represent a real user. This information is used as a fictitious name which might be seen by sniffer programs during the initial connection and setup process between the panel and the Radius server. In this way the real identity (username) is protected.
Protected Setup Pages EAP-PEAP Settings Press the EAP-PEAP button to open the EAP-PEAP Settings page (FIG. 70). FIG. 70 Wireless Settings page - EAP-PEAP Settings PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed as a way to securely transmit authentication information, such as passwords, over a wireless network environment. PEAP uses only server-side public key certificates and therefore does not need a client (panel) certificate which makes the configuration and setup easier.
Protected Setup Pages EAP-PEAP security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network. EAP-PEAP Settings SSID (Service Set Identifier): Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target WAP. The SSID is a unique name used by the WAP, and is assigned to all panels on that network.

Protected Setup Pages EAP-TTLS Settings Press the EAP-TTLS button to opens the EAP-TTLS Settings page (FIG. 71). FIG. 71 Wireless Settings page - EAP-TTLS Settings 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.
Protected Setup Pages EAP-TTLS Settings (Cont.) Identity: Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter an EAP Identity string (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server). Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string which is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation. Typically, this is in the form of a username such as: jdoe@amx.com.
Protected Setup Pages EAP-TLS Settings Press the EAP-TLS button to open the EAP-TLS Settings page (FIG. 72). FIG. 72 Wireless Settings page - EAP-TLS Settings TLS (Transport Layer Security) was the original standard wireless LAN EAP authentication protocol. TLS requires additional work during the deployment phase, but provides additional security since even a compromised password is not enough to break into an EAP-TLS protected wireless network environment.
Protected Setup Pages EAP-TLS Settings (Cont.) Certificate Authority: When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen Certificate Authority (CA) File Location keyboard, for entering the name of the certificate authority file which is used to validate the server certificate. This field is optional. If a server certificate is used, it should first be downloaded into the panel and the Certificate Authority field should then be set to the name of that certificate file.
Protected Setup Pages Client certificate configuration A client certificate can be configured by an IT department in several ways. The client certificate and private key can both be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In addition, the file format used by these files could be PEM, DER, or PKCS12. These formats are described later in this section. The following table describes how to fill in the fields for each possible case.

Programming 152 MVP-5200i Modero Viewpoint Widescreen Touch Panel
Battery Life and Replacement Battery Life and Replacement Overview The battery powering the MVP-5200i is designed for upwards of 300 deep discharge rechargings. Regular shallow rechargings will extensively increase expected battery life, and the device should be stored in either the Table Charging Station or the Wall Charging Station when not in use to keep it at an optimum charge. The battery has reached its effective end of life after it can no longer hold more than a 70 percent charge.
Battery Life and Replacement Battery Replacement The touch panel's battery is intended to last the life of the device, but in cases where the battery has reached its effective end of life, it may be replaced with the MVP-BP-52 Battery Pack Kit (FG5966-20). To replace the battery: 1. Shut down the device. 2. Place the device face-down and remove the five screws from the back of the device (FIG. 89). Two of the screws are at each of the upper corners of the device, underneath screw covers.
Battery Life and Replacement 8. Insert the five screws and replace the screw covers atop the two upper screws, using the replacement upper screw covers included in the Battery Pack Kit. 9. Restart the device to confirm that the new battery is functioning correctly.

Appendix A: Text Formatting Appendix A: Text Formatting 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.
Appendix A: Text Formatting Text Area Input Masking Text Area Input Masking may be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters; with input masking, this limit could be changed to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits. A possible use for this feature is to enter information into form fields.
Appendix A: Text Formatting Refer to the following Send_Commands for more detailed information: • ^BIM - Sets the input mask for the specified addresses. (see the ^BIM section on page 116). • ^BMF subcommand %MK - sets the input mask of a text area (see the ^BMF section on page 118). 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.
Appendix A: Text Formatting A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is applied, the behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's requirement. When working with masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any cursor movement, including cursor, backspace, and delete keys. When operating with a mask, the mask should be displayed with placeholders. The "-" character should display where you should enter a character.
Appendix A: Text Formatting URL Resources A URL can be broken into several parts. For example, with the URL http://www.amx.com/company-infohome.asp, this URL indicates that the protocol in use is http (HyperText Transport Protocol) and that the information resides on a host machine named www.amx.com. The image on that host machine is given an assignment (by the program) name of company-info-home.asp (Active Server Page).
Appendix B: Wireless Technology 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 obtained from an 802.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology Terminology 802.1x IEEE 802.1x is an IEEE standard that is built on the Internet standard EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). 802.1x is a standard for passing EAP messages over either a wired or wireless LAN. Additionally, 802.1x is also responsible for communicating the method with which WAPs and wireless users can share and change encryption keys. This continuous key change helps resolve any major security vulnerabilities native to WEP.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology 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.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology WPA2 Also know as IEEE 802.11i, this is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks. The 802.11i scheme makes use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher; WEP and WPA use the RC4 stream cipher. The 802.11i architecture contains the following components: 802.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology EAP Authentication EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both a wired and wireless network environment. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a RADIUS server. Although over 40 different EAP methods are currently defined, the current internal Modero 802.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology 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. 93). Below is a description of this process. It is important to note that no user intervention is necessary during this process. It proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel. LAN 802.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology AMX Certificate Upload Utility The Certificate Upload utility gives you the ability to compile a list of target touch panels, select a preobtained certificate (uniquely identifying the panel), and then upload that file to the selected panel. This application must be run from a local machine and should not be used from a remote network location. This application ensures that a unique certificate is securely uploaded to a specific touch panel.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology 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 panel-specific USBLAN driver becomes associated with it. Each time thereafter, the panel is "recognized" as a unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background.
Appendix B: Wireless Technology 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 for proper communication with the MVP-5200i. Refer to Step 1 from within the previous Step 1: Setup the Panel and PC for USB Communication section on page 168. 2. Access the target panel's Protected Setup firmware page and configure the USB communication parameters.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting 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. Panel Doesn’t Respond To Touches Symptom: When calibrating the MVP-5200i, the device either does not respond to touches on the touch screen or does not register the touch as being in the correct area of the screen.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting MVP-5200i Isn’t Appearing In The Online Tree Tab 1. Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx Project Navigator window and the System Settings page on the device. 2. Verify the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods entered into the Master Connection section of the System Settings page. MVP Can’t Obtain a DHCP Address In requesting a DHCP Address, the DHCP Server can take up to a few minutes to provide the address. 1.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting If you decide not to ping for availability and the controller is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the program will try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection. Only One Modero Panel In My System Shows Up Symptom: I have more than one Modero panel connected to my System Master and only one shows up. Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices, such as MVP panels, can be associated for use with a single Master.
