Panel Calibration Panel Calibration Overview This section outlines the steps for calibrating the touch panel. It is recommended that you calibrate the panel 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. 49 Touch Panel Calibration Screens 2. After the "Calibration Successful.." message appears, press anywhere on the screen to continue and return to the Setup page.
Configuring Communication Configuring Communication Overview Communication between the Modero panel and the Master is done using either USB or ETHERNET (DHCP or Static IP). Ethernet communication can be achieved through either a direct connection (Ethernet) or through the use of the optional NXA-PCI80211G wireless interface card. USB input devices must be plugged into the rear or side USB connectors before the G4 panel is powered-up.
Configuring Communication FIG. 52 Protected Setup page 7. Press the on-screen Reboot button to restart the panel and incorporate any changes. Before continuing, open NetLinx Studio 2.x. This program assists in developing a System Number, Master IP/URL, and Master Port number. Refer to your NetLinx Master’s instruction manuals for more information. 8. Obtain the System Number and Master IP Address from NetLinx Studio. This information must be specific for the system used with the configured Modero panel.
Configuring Communication It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted. The mini-USB connector MUST be plugged into an already active panel before the PC can recognize the connection and assign an appropriate USB driver.
Configuring Communication If the panel is already powered, continue with steps 3. The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port. 2. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on the rear/side of the touch panel and then apply power. 3.
Configuring Communication FIG. 55 USB driver installation popup window This window notifies you that the panel has been detected by the PC as a USB-compliant device and the PC is installing an appropriate USB driver to establish a proper communication to the panel. The driver does not contain a Microsoft® digital signature and Windows® then informs you of such. 9. Click Yes when told that a digital signature was not found. This action accepts the installation of the new USB driver.
Configuring Communication USB connected touch panel (showing the recognized panel) FIG. 56 Device Manager dialog showing USB device To remove the USB driver association from a previously connected touch panel, you must navigate back to the Device Manager, right-click on the panel’s USB driver (example AMX USB LAN LINK #2) and select Uninstall from the context menu and then OK.

Click the Communications Settings button to open the Communications Settings dialog. 5. Click on the NetLinx Master radio button (from the Platform Selection section) to indicate that you are working as a NetLinx Master. 6.
Configuring Communication A mini-USB connection is only detected after it is installed onto an active panel. Connection to a previously powered panel which then reboots, allows the PC to detect the panel and assign an appropriate USB driver. 1. Verify this direct USB connection (Type-A on the panel to mini-USB on the panel) is configured properly using the steps outlined in the previous two sections. 2.
Configuring Communication If the SSID (Network Name) and WEP fields have not previously been configured, the Wireless Settings page will not work until the panel is rebooted. Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXAPCI80211G AMX Wireless Card (FG2255-04) communicating to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA-WAP200G).
Configuring Communication Modero connection IP info. FIG. 59 Wireless Settings page (IP Settings section) 6. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name. 7. Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.
Configuring Communication 12. Setup the security and communication parameters between the wireless card and the target WAP by configuring the Wireless Settings section on this page. Refer to the following section for detailed procedures to setup either a secure or insecure connection. Step 2: Configuring the Card’s Wireless Security Settings The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings page.
Configuring Communication The remaining Wireless Settings fields are then greyed-out and become read-only. All NXA-WAP200Gs are factory-shipped as an unsecured WAP with no WEP encryption. The WAP200G initial Status page will display the status of both the WEP and WPA (both disabled). 10. Verify the fields in the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 55 for detailed information. 11.
Configuring Communication SSID field Mini-PCI wireless card communication settings (for use with a target WAP) Changes on this page take effect after using the BACK button to return to the previous page FIG. 61 Wireless Settings page (Wireless Settings section) You must first take the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC Address information and then later enter it into the appropriate WAP dialog fields in order to "sync-up" the secure connection.
Configuring Communication This keyboard allows you to enter a Passphrase (such as AMXPanel) and then AUTOMATICALLY generate a WEP key which is compatible only among Modero panels. The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula. Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical keys when done on any Modero because they all use the same Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase generator is case sensitive. 12. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG.
Configuring Communication 15. Verify the fields within the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 55 for detailed information. 16. Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master. 17.
Configuring Communication Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields appear on the two separate System Settings and Wireless Settings pages; the information populating these fields is identical. If the information within one of these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both pages within the altered field. Example: Domain is altered on Wireless Settings page, the value is then also changed within the Domain field of the System Settings page. 3.
Configuring Communication Step 2: Choosing a Master Connection Mode Setting There are three Ethernet MODE settings used in the Master Connection section of the System Settings page. URL is the most common method. Master Connection MODE options: • URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or any other Internet facility. In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach to it).
Configuring Communication Obtained from NetLinx Master FIG. 64 System Settings page Master Connection - Virtual Master communication over Ethernet When configuring your panel to communicate with a Virtual Master (on your PC) via Ethernet, the Master IP/URL field must be configured to match the IP Address of the PC and make sure to use the Virtual System value assigned to the Virtual Master within NetLinx Studio.

Appendix Appendix 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 would be entered into the text field along with any other text.
Appendix 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 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 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.
