Connecting a Touch Panel via USB

Overview

The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC via USB it will be detected as a new

hardware device and the USBLAN driver will be associated with it. Each time thereafter the panel is

"recognized" as a USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background. When the

panel is detected for the first time some user intervention is required during the association between

panel and driver.

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed navigate to the System Connection page

on the touch panel and toggle the Type field until the choice cycles to USB.

Press the Back button and press the on-screen Reboot button to save your changes and restart the

panel with the new USB communication setting.

2. After the panel boots and displays the first panel page insert the mini-USB connector into the

panel's Program Port.

This process begins the communication from the panel to the PC. It's a kind of "Hi I'm here,

recognize me".

3. The computer will recognize the panel as a new AMX USB Device (FIG. 11).

Further, the computer recognizes the panel as an AMX USB device that is connected via a LAN

LINK and begins the association between device and driver (FIG. 12).

The driver does not contain a Microsoft digital signature and Windows will inform you of such.

4. Click Yes when told that a digital signature was not found (FIG. 13).
