Introduction Introduction The PC Presenter PC is a wireless PC keyboard and mouse controller that can be used as a standalone unit or as an bus device connected to a Central Controller via AXlink; controlling PC keyboard and mouse functions, and devices connected to the AXlink bus. The PC Presenter transmitter is available with a built-in laser pointer (TXC-MSL), or without the laser pointer (TXC-MS). The PC Presenter (FIG.

Introduction TXC-MS(L) controls The TXC-MS(L) is available in configurations with up to 26 pushbuttons and PC mouse controls (mouse disc and left and right mouse buttons). The TXC-MS(L) includes a custom engraved overlay with text as desired by the customer. TXC-MS(L) mouse controls The TXC-MS(L) mouse disc affords you 360° control of cursor direction and speed. The two pushbuttons located on either side of the mouse disc replace those found on any standard Microsoft® compatible mouse.
Introduction FIG. 4 Laser Radiation warning AXR-MSE Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Controller The AXR-MSE is the receiver/processor component of the PC Presenter. The AXR-MSE receives RF or IR signals from the TXC-MS(L) transmitter using the attached RF receiving antenna or an external IR sensor. The AXR-MSE connects between the PC keyboard and mouse cables, and the keyboard and mouse ports on the PC CPU.
Introduction AXR-MSE Specifications (Cont.) Rear Panel TNC RF antenna Accepts the flexible RF receiving antenna (up to 6 feet of RG-58 coax cable for remote antenna set up can also be used). KEYBOARD IN/OUT Two PS/2 style keyboard connectors are used to connect the AXR-MSE to the PC keyboard and CPU. The top connector, labeled "TO PC" connects the AXR-MSE to the CPU with a PS/2 style cable (included). Plug the PC keyboard into the bottom connector.

Pre-Installation Pre-Installation Setting the TXC-MS(L) transmitter DIP switch The TXC-MS(L) transmitter transmits IR or RF signals, according to how you set position 1 on the 8-position DIP switch. The DIP switch is located under the battery cover, on the back of the TXC-MS(L), as shown in FIG. 6. To open the battery compartment, slide the cover down and remove. 8-position DIP switch Battery compartment FIG. 6 Location of 8-position DIP switch and battery compartment locations FIG.
Pre-Installation Radio Code Settings Each pushbutton on the TXC-MS(L) transmitter represents an Axcess channel number. All of the pushbuttons on the transmitter represent a group of channel numbers. This grouping is known as a radio code. Use the transmitter DIP switch to assign a unique radio code to this transmitter. Radio codes are important in applications that use more than one transmitter, because each transmitter must be assigned its own unique radio code.

Each device on the AXlink bus must have a unique AXlink device number. AXlink DEVICE MOUSE KEYBOARD DATA ON Device DIP switch FIG.
Pre-Installation The device can be 1 of the 255 devices in an Axcess, Axcent, Axcent2, Axcent3, AXB-MPE, or AXB-EM232 system. The device number must match the device assignment in the Axcess program. AMX assigns device numbers into the following three segments: Cards - 1 through 95 Boxes - 96 through 127 Panels - 128 through 255 The device number takes effect only on power-up. Set the device number by setting the device DIP switch.

Unplug all connectors from the rear panel of the AXR-MSE. 3.
Pre-Installation For keyboard use with a PC, slide the SW2 switch to the "PC" position as shown in FIG. 14. SW2 NO PC PC FIG. 14 Switch setting for keyboard use with PC connected Setting Mouse Mode The PC Presenter supports PS2 mice by default. If you prefer to use a serial mouse you must set internal slide switch SW3 for this mode (FIG. 15). Serial mice typically have a 9 pin D-sub connector. An adapter will be required to plug it into the mouse connector on the AXR-MSE.
Pre-Installation Wiring guidelines The AXR-MSE requires 65 mA @ 12 VDC power to operate properly. The Central Controller supplies power via the AXlink cable. The maximum wiring distance between the Central Controller and AXR-MSE is determined by power consumption supplied voltage, and the wire gauge used for the cable. The following wiring guidelines table lists wire sizes and the maximum lengths allowable between the AXR-MSE and the Central Controller.

Installing the PC Presenter Installing the PC Presenter This section describes how to connect the AXR-MSE to the PC and to the Central Controller. Before installation, check to verify that the Device DIP switch on the front panel of the AXR-MSE is set correctly. Setting the Device DIP switch is described in the previous section (Setting the TXCMS(L) transmitter DIP switch section on page 7).

Installing the PC Presenter Make sure to connect only the GND wire on the AXlink connector when using a 12 VDC power supply. Do not connect the PWR wire to the AXlink connector's PWR opening. LED indicators When the AXR-MSE is powered up, the front panel LEDs light to indicate the status of the unit as described below: All LED's lighting sequentially from left to right indicates that the AXR-MSE firmware is loaded and running.

Programming the PC Presenter Programming the PC Presenter This section describes how to program the PC Presenter. Before programming, make sure the PC Presenter is properly installed: Verify that the PC keyboard and mouse are connected to the AXR-MSE, and the AXR-MSE is connected to the keyboard and mouse ports on the CPU. Device DIP switch settings (on the front panel of the AXR-MSE) match the device number assigned to it in the Axcess program.
