Panel Calibration Panel Calibration This section outlines the steps for calibrating the touch panel. It is recommended that you calibrate the panel both before its initial use and after completing a firmware download. Modero panels are factory setup with specific demo touch panel pages. The first splash screen that appears indicates the panel is receiving power, beginning to load firmware, and preparing to display the default touch panel pages.
Panel Calibration The request to touch the crosshairs is the first on-screen message Calibration successful is the second on-screen message that appears after the calibration process is completed On-screen crosshairs used for calibration of the touch device FIG.
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 Input Mask Ranges These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is allowed per field. Using a range implies a numeric entry ONLY. Input Mask Ranges Character Meaning [ Start range ] End range | Range Separator An example from the above table: [0|255] This allows a user to enter a value from 0 to 255.
Appendix A: Text Formatting evaluated. Overflow continues to work until a field with no overflow value is set or no more fields remain (i.e. reached first field). If a character is typed and that character appears in the Next Field list, the keyboard should move the focus to the next field. For example, when entering time, a ":" is used as a next field character. If you enter "1:2", the 1 is entered in the current field (hours) and then the focus is moved to the next field and 2 is entered in that field.

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 FIG. 91 WPA Overview WPA2 Also know as IEEE 802.11i, this is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks. The 802.11i scheme makes use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher; WEP and WPA use the RC4 stream cipher. The 802.11i architecture contains the following components: 802.
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 6. Press the Reboot button both to save any changes and to restart the panel. Remember that the panel’s connection type must be set to USB prior to rebooting the panel and prior to inserting the USB connector. 7. ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page should you THEN insert the mini-USB connector into the Mini-USB Port on the panel.
Appendix B - Wireless Technology Uploading a Certificate File 1. Install the latest AMX USB LAN LINK driver onto your computer by installing the latest versions of either TPDesign4 or NetLinx Studio2. This USB driver prepares your computer for proper communication with the panel. Refer to Step 1 from within the Upgrading the Docking Station Firmware via USB section on page 43. 2. Access the target panel's Protected Setup firmware page and configure the USB communication parameters. 3.

Appendix C: Troubleshooting Appendix C: Troubleshooting Overview This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common operation of a Modero touch panel. Panel Doesn’t Respond To Touches Symptom: The device either does not respond to touches on the touch screen or does not register the touch as being in the correct area of the screen. If the screen is off: The device may be in Standby Mode. Press and hold the navigation wheel to wake up the panel.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting 2. Verify the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods entered into the Master Connection section of the System Settings page. MVP Can’t Obtain a DHCP Address In requesting a DHCP Address, the DHCP Server can take up to a few minutes to provide the address. 1. Verify that the WAP is configured to match the MVP panel Network Name (SSID) field, Encryption, Default Key, and Current Key string.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting If the panel already contains a large enough file, subsequent downloads will take up more space than is available and could often corrupt the Compact Flash. The demo file that typically ships with G4 panels is one such file. Symptoms include: Having to repeat the download. Inability to make further downloads to the panel. May get "directory" errors, "graphics hierarchy" errors, etc., indicating problems with the Compact Flash.
