Therefore, this Passphrase generates identical keys on any Modero panel.
Setup Pages Refer to the Configuring a Wireless Network Access section on page 15 for further details on these security options. Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 19 for more information on using this feature. WPA-PSK Settings 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.
Setup Pages EAP-LEAP Settings 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.
Setup Pages 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.
Setup Pages EAP-FAST Settings (Cont.) 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. • This field is only valid when the automatic PAC provisioning feature has been enabled via the previous field.
Setup Pages EAP-PEAP Settings (Cont.) Password: Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter the network password string specified for the user entered within the Identity field (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server) Note: This information is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation.
Setup Pages 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. 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.
Setup Pages EAP-TTLS Settings (Cont.) Certificate Authority: When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen Certificate Authority (CA) File Location keyboard which allows you to enter 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.
Setup Pages 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.

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.
Panel Calibration If Calibration Is Not Working Cycling power to the panel should provide a baseline calibration for the particular touch panel. Recalibrate the panel.

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 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.
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 125). • ^BMF subcommand %MK - sets the input mask of a text area (see the ^BMF section on page 127). 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 keys, backspace, and delete. 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: 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 you can expect to obtain from an 802.
Appendix B - Wireless Technology 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.
Appendix B - Wireless Technology 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.
Appendix B - Wireless Technology 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.
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 there are currently over 40 different EAP methods 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 there is no user intervention 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 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.
Appendix B - Wireless Technology 11. 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. 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.
Appendix B - Wireless Technology 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.
