MXT-1000 / MXT-700
Detailed specifications drawings for the MXT-1000 and MXT-700 are available to download from www.amx.com.
Connector Locations - MXT-1000/MXT-700
Two Type A USB ports are located on the rear right corner of the panel (FIG. 18). USB peripherals (i.e. mouse, keyboard) may be
connected to either of the two USB ports on the rear of the device. Updates to the device’s firmware can also made via the USB
ports (see Upgrading Firmware via USB Flash Drive on page 67 for details). Note that FIG. 18 shows the MXT-1000, but the USB
ports are in a similar location on the MXT-700.
NOTE: Refer to the Power via PoE section on page 40 for details on PoE and Ethernet Cable Installation and Modif ication.
Power via 13.5V
The MXT-2000XL-PAN and MXT-1900L-PAN use a 13.5V -compliant power supply to provide power to the panel via the 2-pin 3.5
mm captive wire PWR connector. The incoming PWR and GND wires from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding
locations within the PWR connector.
NOTE: Connecting power to the panel should be done using the included 2-pin 3.5mm captive wire connector included with the
device. This connector is retained within its port with locking screws instead of the pins on each side of standard captive wire
connectors, and using force to insert a standard captive wire connector may damage the device.
Wiring a 13.5V Power Connection
To use the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire connector with a 13.5V -compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND wires from
the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 19). The connector uses locking
screws to insure a connection to the device, so make sure to insert and tighten the screws before applying power.
1. Insert the PWR and GND wires on the terminal end of the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire cable.
Match the wiring locations of the +/- on both the power supply and the terminal connector.
2. Tighten the clamp to secure the two wires.
Do not tighten the screws excessively; doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.
3. Verify the connection of the 2-pin 3.5 mm captive wire to the external 13.5V -compliant power supply and apply power.
Power via PoE
Power for the MXT-1000 and MXT-700 is supplied via PoE (Power Over Ethernet ), utilizing an AMX-certified, capacitive touch-
compliant PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AT High Power PoE Injector (FG423-81) or other approved AMX PoE power source.
The incoming Ethernet cable should be connected to the RJ45 port on the cable attached to the device.
Ethernet Cable Installation and Modification
In tabletop installations where concealing the Ethernet cable is desired, a hole at least 1.00” (2.54 cm) in diameter is required in
the surface to allow passage of the female RJ45 connector (FIG. 20). If using a smaller hole is unavoidable, you will need to
disconnect the Ethernet cable (ECA5968-05) from the device, to feed the male end of the cable through.
