MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station & CB-MVPWDS Conduit Box Installation MVP-WDS wall-docking stations can be installed either the CB-MVPWDS or other solid surface environment using one of the two mounting options: drywall clips or solid surface screws, as described in the following sub-sections. Installing the CB-MVPWDS Conduit Box The CB-MVPWDS (FG037-10) is a metallic conduit box that can be secured to a stud in a pre-wall setting. The MVP-WDS can then installed into the conduit box.
MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station & CB-MVPWDS Conduit Box Although there are wiring knockouts are on both sides of the conduit box, the knockouts on the right side will be used for the MVP-WDS (wall docking station) connectors, so always secure the conduit box to the stud using the Stud Mounting Holes on the left side of the box. 2. Using either nails or screws, fasten the conduit box to the stud through the five Stud Fastening Holes. 3.

MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station & CB-MVPWDS Conduit Box Installing the MVP-WDS Using Expansion Clips Expansion clips are mounted through the four oval holes located along the rim of the MVP-WDS. As the screw is tightened, the clip bends toward the insertion hole and into the wall. This bending creates a "grip" on the wall by either pressing onto the wall or by securing the drywall between the housing and the drywall clip.

MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station & CB-MVPWDS Conduit Box Initially, both blue LEDs illuminate and remain dim (indicating that the power is being supplied to the MVP-WDS). Using the 3.5mm mini-Phoenix Connector for Power To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix connector for use with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND wires from the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 14) to provide power to the MVP-WDS.
MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station & CB-MVPWDS Conduit Box If a USB keyboard has been connected, only on-screen keyboards and keypads will reflect any external keystrokes sent from the external USB keyboard. To be detected by the docking station, USB input devices (keyboard / mouse) must be plugged into the docking station before it is powered-up. The docking station will not detect USB input devices until the unit cycles power. Interface Connector Pins and Functions FIG.
MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station & CB-MVPWDS Conduit Box When the MVP is properly docked, the following message is displayed on the panel (FIG. 17). On-screen Docking message Docking Status button (illuminates to also give an indication that the panel is properly docked) FIG.

Upgrading the Docking Station Firmware Upgrading the Docking Station Firmware The following accessory devices are firmware upgradeable: MVP-TDS Table Top Docking Station (FG5965-10) MVP-WDS Wall/Flush Mount Docking Station - Black (FG5965-11) MVP-WDS Wall/Flush Mount Docking Station - Silver (FG5965-21) This device is not given a unique device number which would ordinarily appear within the Online Tree tab of NetLinx Studio.
Upgrading the Docking Station Firmware Displays the current docking station firmware version FIG. 2 Batteries page The docking station firmware is shown on the right of the Batteries page. Verify you have downloaded the latest firmware file from www.amx.com and then save the Kit file to your computer. Step 2: Upgrade the Docking Station firmware via USB 1. Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type. 2. Prepare NetLinx Studio for communication to the panel via a Virtual Master.
Upgrading the Docking Station Firmware Selected Docking Station Firmware file Description field for selected Kit file Firmware download status Device and System values must match the System and Device values listed in the Project Navigator window FIG. 3 Send to NetLinx Device dialog (showing docking station firmware update via USB) Firmware upgrades can not be done directly to the docking station but must be routed through the MVP panel. 10. Click the Reboot Device checkbox.
Upgrading the Docking Station Firmware Although firmware upgrades can be done over wireless Ethernet; it is recommended that firmware KIT files be transferred over a direct USB 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.
