Upgrading Firmware Upgrading Firmware Overview For the purpose of panel downloads, the MVP-9000i’s download procedure is not compatible with other AMX panel devices. This is due to the unique configuration of the device. The first major change from other AMX devices is that the MVP-9000i uses dynamic Setup Pages for its displays. Instead of requiring a separate Setup Page project built within TPDesign 4, the MVP-9000i uses only a single set of Setup Pages for all of its supported resolutions.
Upgrading Firmware Upgrading Firmware Via NetLinx Studio The MVP-9000i uses a 5-pin CC-USB (Type A) to Mini-B 5-Wire programming cable (FG10-5965) for programming, firmware updates, and touch panel file transfer between a PC and the target device. If a programming cable is not available, it may be purchased from www.amx.com. The Mini-USB port for the connector is located on the left side of the device as viewed from the front.

Programming Transition Classes (Cont.) Center door with fade This transition operates as above, except that the hinge point is at the center of the LCD rather than the edge. The origin of the transition is the point on the LCD where the motion originates. In most cases, these locations are the top, bottom, left and right of the screen. For example, a slide transition with a left origin will appear to slide in from the left towards the right of the screen.
Programming Touch Gesture Recognition Gesturing refers to the act of moving a finger or stylus across the overlay and having the panel recognize and process this motion as a gesture. Once a gesture is detected, it is processed as another external button on the panel. This enables the user to design pages that translate gesture operations into any functionality available to external buttons.
Programming Gesture Prioritization (Cont.) The user double taps outside of a button or slider. This will be registered as a gesture. Gesture VNC/Mouse Support Gestures are recognized whether or not the user is using a finger or stylus on the panel's screen overlay, a mouse on a VNC connection, or a mouse connected to the local USB port on the panel. Gesture Custom Event Whenever a gesture is recognized and processed a custom event is also sent to the master.

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 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.

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 WiFi 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 To resolve problems with WEP, the WiFi Alliance released WPA (FIG. 104), 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. 104 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.
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. 106). 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 Configuring Modero Firmware via the USB Port The MVP-9000i needs to be configured to connect with a PC to transfer firmware via the mini-USB port.

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 pre-obtained 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 11. Once the list is complete, click on the File drop-down menu and select the Save option. This launches a Save dialog to assign a name to the current list of addresses and then save the information as a TXT (text) file to a known location. This application must be run from a local machine and should not be used from a remote network location. 12. Select the target devices to be uploaded with the selected certificate.
