MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
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.
Before beginning with this section, verify that the device is powered and the Type-A end of the USB connector
is inserted and secure in the PC’s USB port . The panel must be powered On before connecting the mini-
USB connector to the panel. To guarantee that the upgrade is not interrupted by power loss, connecting the
device to a power source, such as inserting it into a Table Docking Station, before beginning the upgrade is
highly recommended.
1. Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x and select Settings > Master Communication Settings from the Main menu
to open the Master Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 89). If this is the first time the device needs to
be configured, refer to the Configuring Modero Firmware via the USB Port section on page 186.
2. Click the Communications Settings... button to open the Communications Settings dialog box (FIG. 90).
3. Click on the NetLinx Master radio button from the Platform Selection section.
4. Click on the Virtual Master radio box from the Transport Connection Option section to configure the PC
to communicate directly with a panel. Everything else, such as the Authentication, is greyed-out because
this connection is not going through the Master’s UI.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the
USB Driver, will cause a failure in the USB driver installation.
