MVP-9000i Modero® Wireless Touch Panel with Intercom
Configuring Communication
Overview
All control for a MVP-9000i touch panel is established through a NetLinx Master. Communication between
the MVP and the Master consists of using wired LAN (Static IP only), Wireless Ethernet (DHCP, Static IP) or
USB. References to Ethernet in this manual focus on the use of Wireless Ethernet via the MVP’s WiFi Card.
In the example below (FIG. 15), three MVP-9000i devices are shown at varying distances from the two WAP
gateways. As with any other WAP network, the gateways are spaced so as to allow a maximum wireless
coverage for the three devices.
When initially installing the MVP-9000i, some basic configuration items, including network settings and
NetLinx settings, will need to be set. For more information, refer to the Protected Setup Pages section on
page 59.
Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero
panel-specific firmware. Verify you are using the latest versions of AMX’s NetLinx
Studio and TPDesign4 programs.
