MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
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.
To enable a single Setup Page project to support all resolutions, this requires including images for the largest
supported resolution with the Setup Page project and scaling the images to fit for lower resolutions. This
modification would apply to state-level bitmaps and chameleon images; previously, image scaling has only
applied to dynamic images.
These features require a separate G4SupportFiles installation to be posted for download independently of the
TPDesign4, NetLinx Studio, and Visual Architect applications.
The MVP-9000i uses a native RNDIS USB driver for USB-over-Ethernet communication. When the device is
connected to the downloading computer (see instructions below for more details), it creates a new LAN
connection, and the user will need to supply a static IP address for this to be enabled. To enter a static IP
address, the user must edit the properties of the TCP/IP interface of the connection itself. This driver is
included in the installation of the latest version of NetLinx Studio, available from www.amx.com.
Upgrading Firmware via USB stick
The MVP-9000i uses the CC-MINIUSB Mini USB to PC Cable Adapter (FG5967-20) for programming,
firmware updates, and touch panel file transfer between a PC and the target device (FIG. 88). 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.
To upgrade the firmware on the MVP-90001 to the latest version:
1. Download the latest MVP-9000i firmware from www.amx.com and save it to a USB stick.
2. Turn on the MVP-9000i and allow it to boot up. For best results, connect the panel to its power source or
place it in a Table or Wall Docking Station.
3. Connect the male plug of CC-MINIUSB Cable Adapter to the mini-USB port on the MVP-90001, and
then connect the USB stick to the female USB port.
4. The MVP-9000i will automatically search the USB stick for the correct KIT file, and automatically
uploads the firmware.
Programming the MVP-9000i requires the use of the latest versions of NetLinx Studio
and TPDesign 4, both available from www.amx.com.

If the MVP-9000i battery is at less than a 30 percent charge, the firmware upload will
automatically fail. For best results, before uploading the firmware, connect the panel
to its power source or place it in a Table or Wall Docking Station.
