Protected Setup Pages EAP Security & Server Certificates - Overview The following EAP types all support a server certificate: EAP-PEAP EAP-TTLS EAP-TLS All three of these certificate-using security methods are documented in the following sections. EAP Authentication goes a step beyond simply 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. 81).
Protected Setup Pages LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates, and is therefore one of the least secure EAP security methods. However, it can be utilized successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords. EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.
Protected Setup Pages FIG. 83 EAP-LEAP sample Cisco System Security page EAP-FAST From the Security Modes options, press the Enterprise button to open the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode page. Scroll through the Security Type options to select EAP-FAST (FIG. 84).

Battery Life and Replacement Battery Life and Replacement Overview The battery powering the MVP-9000i is designed for upwards of 300 deep discharge rechargings. Regular shallow rechargings will extensively increase expected battery life, and the device should be stored in either the Table Docking Station or the Wall Docking Station when not in use to keep it at an optimum charge. The battery has reached its effective end of life after it can no longer hold more than a 70 percent charge.
Battery Life and Replacement IMPORTANT NOTES! Lithium-Polymer battery technology degrades in capacity over time, unless the battery is periodically charged and discharged. AMX recommends installing all Lithium-Polymer batteries in functional AMX products within 6 months of receipt. Charging Lithium Polymer batteries at high temperature will reduce the battery life. Industry guidelines dictate that batteries should not be charged at temperatures above 45° C (113° F).
Battery Life and Replacement In Standby Mode, the panel will go offline. Shutdown - The system enters this mode after a user selectable amount of inactivity time has elapsed or if the battery level falls below 5 percent of its full charge. This is the absolute lowest mode of operation, during which power to all peripherals and components is turned off. It is not online with the NetLinx Master and will not appear in NetLinx Studio.
Battery Life and Replacement Replacing the Battery Before replacing the battery, download and install the latest firmware for the MVP-9000i. This firmware is available at www.amx.com. IMPORTANT: Prior to battery removal, run the device until the battery is completely discharged. Do NOT discharge the battery before installing the latest MVP-9000i firmware, available at www.amx.com.

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.
Appendix A: Text Formatting Special Escape Sequences The system has only a limited knowledge of URL formats, as it transparently passes the URL information onto the server for translation. A user can then pass any parameters to the server side programs such as CGI scripts or active server pages. However; the system will parse the URL looking for special escape codes. When it finds an escape code, it replaces that code with a particular piece of panel, button, or state information. For example, "http://www.
Appendix A: Text Formatting Complex Script Support In many cases, a user needs a touch panel user interface that utilizes a font applicable to the area for which its use is intended, and to accomplish this without needing to resort to images of properly formed text. This includes proper rendering of right-to-left languages such as, but not limited to, Arabic, Hebrew, Thai and Devangari (FIG. 126). Both the MVP-9000i and TPDesign4 (v3.
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 APs 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. 128 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. 130). 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. To configure the touch panel: Step 1: Configure The Panel For a USB Connection Type 1. After the panel powers up, hold the Reset button to display the Setup page (for more information, refer to the Accessing the Setup pages section on page 43) and open the Protected Setup page. 2.
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 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. These may 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.
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 Shutdown Mode. Press and hold the screen until the device turns on.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting 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 AP is configured to match the MVP panel Network Name (SSID) field, Encryption, Default Key, and Current Key string. Remember that the Passphrase generator on the panel does not produce the same Current Key if using the same passphrase on the AP. 2.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting 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. Panel will not boot, or gets stuck on "AMX" splash screen. Other problems also started after downloading to a new panel or a panel with a TPD4 file that takes up a considerable amount of the available Compact Flash. 1.
