Installation Installation MXT-701 Installation Any USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.) may be connected to one of the two USB ports on the rear of the device (FIG. 7). Updates to the device’s firmware are also made via the USB ports. Entry for RJ45/ PoE Cable USB Ports Speaker FIG.
Installation MXT-701 Ethernet Cable Clamp Connector FIG. 9 Bottom of the MXT-701 To disconnect and reconnect the MXT-701’s Ethernet cable to allow use of a hole smaller than 1.00” in diameter: 1. On a soft surface, turn the MXT-701 face-down to access the bottom of the device. 2. Remove the clamp holding the Ethernet cable (FIG. 9) until the Ethernet cable moves freely. 3. Remove the Ethernet cable connector and pull the cable out of the clamp. 4.
Installation A Note About Wall and Rack Installation Some products are installed in areas of differing temperature and cooling methodologies. These include products installed in walls, racks, cabinets, etc. Those areas may have different temperatures and/or cooling approaches that must be taken into consideration to maintain the product within the specified operating temperature. FIG.
Installation Installation Recommendations During any installation, a lack of ventilation may produce conditions that may adversely affect the device’s operation. In these circumstances, special care must be made to make sure that temperatures within enclosed areas do not exceed the device’s maximum rated temperature.
Installation RJ45 Cable Clip RJ45 Port FIG. 14 Rear of the MXD-701 (with RJ45 connection extended) Installing the MXD-701 into a wall The MXD-701 comes with a clear plastic backbox (designed to attach the panel to most standard wall materials. This backbox has two locking tabs (one on top and one on bottom) to help lock the backbox to the wall. These locking tabs are only extended AFTER the backbox is inserted into the wall. (FIG. 15). Locking tab Back box knockouts MXD-701 (front) Back box FIG.
Installation The maximum recommended torque to screw in the locking tabs on the plastic back box is 5 IN-LB [56 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the tab screws, such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the locking tabs or damage the plastic back box. To install the back box: 1. Prepare the area by removing any screws or nails from the drywall before beginning the cutout process. 2.
Installation 4. Thread the incoming Ethernet from their terminal locations through the surface opening (FIG. 17). Leave enough slack in the wiring to accommodate any re-positioning of the panel. Mounting Surface Back Box Locking Tab #4 Screws Knockouts FIG. 17 MXD-701 Back Box Installation (Landscape) 5. Remove the back box knockouts (FIG. 17) and thread the incoming wiring through the knockout holes.
Installation 11. Test the incoming wiring by attaching the panel connections to their terminal locations and applying power. Verify that the panel is receiving power and functioning properly to prevent repetition of the installation. Do not disconnect the connectors from the touch panel. The unit must be installed with the attached connectors before being inserted into the mounting surface. 12.
Installation Uninstalling the MXD-701 The MXD-701 is held in place to the back box via latch hooks and clips on the back box (FIG. 19), securing it to the mounting surface. In certain circumstances, such as firmware updates or other maintenance that requires accessing the device’s USB port, the device may need to be removed from the back box. The clips that lock down the MXD-701’s bottom edge (Landscape) or right edge (Portrait) may be unlatched in order to remove the device from the mounting surface.

Upgrading Firmware Upgrading Firmware Overview The latest firmware (*.kit) file for each panel is available to download from www.amx.com. To download firmware files, go to the catalog page for your panel type, and click the link under "Firmware Files" on the right side of the catalog page. The ZIP file that is downloaded via this link contains the firmware (*.kit) file that can be loaded on the panel, as well as release notes and any relevant programming instructions.
Upgrading Firmware Removing All Data From The Touch Panel To reset the touch panel to its factory defaults and remove all data stored in the device: 1. From the Reset & Update menu, select Factory Data Reset to open the Factory Data Reset window (FIG. 22). FIG. 22 Factory Data Reset window 2. To erase all data from the touch panel, click the Reset Device button at the bottom of the window.
Upgrading Firmware Resetting to Factory-Installed Firmware In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to uninstall the current firmware on a touch panel and return the panel to its original factory default firmware. To reset the touch panel to its original factory firmware: 1. From the Reset and Update menu, select Update Firmware to open the Firmware Update window (FIG. 24). FIG. 24 Firmware Update window 2. From the Firmware Update window, select the Revert to Factory Firmware Version option. 3.
Upgrading Firmware Installing New Firmware From An External USB Stick To install new firmware to the touch panel from an external disk via the Settings app: 1. Download the latest Modero X Series G5 touch panel firmware from www.amx.com and save it to a USB stick or other external drive with USB capability. The firmware can be saved at the root directory, or be saved in a folder in the USB stick directory.The folder name is not case sensitive. 2. Insert the USB stick into an available USB port.
Upgrading Firmware Installing Touch Panel Pages From An External Disk TPDesign5 page files may be loaded onto a touch panel, both via TPDesign5 and through files saved to a USB-enabled external drive.To load TPD5 pages via USB: 1. Download the panel pages and save them to a USB stick or other external drive with USB capability. 2. Insert the USB stick into an available USB port. This may require disassembling wall-mounted touch panels to access the USB ports if a USB extension was not already installed.
Upgrading Firmware When NetLinx Studio detects that the file is a G5 *.kit file, it will automatically attempt to send the file via HTTP (using the stand-alone web server that is started by NetLinx Studio). The steps for initiating a firmware transfer to a G5 touch panel are essentially the same as for any other NetLinx device. Refer to NetLinx Studio (v3.4 or higher) online help for details on using NetLinx Studio for firmware file transfers. 1.
Upgrading Firmware FIG. 32 NetLinx Studio v3.4 or higher - HTTP Server Error dialog In this case, there are two options for proceeding with the firmware transfer: Select Transfer the KIT File via the NetLinx Master Controller (legacy KIT file transfer method)... to proceed using the standard (non-HTTP) method used for other NetLinx Devices (via the master controller) when OK is clicked. Note that depending on network speed and the size of the *.
