Accessing the Setup Pages
The MVP-5150 features on-board Setup pages. Use the options in the Setup
pages to access panel information and make various configuration changes.
To access the Setup pages, use the included stylus tip to press the recessed
button on the left top side of the device and hold for three seconds. A popup
screen opens that reads “Release button now to enter the Setup Pages.
Continue holding to enter Calibration.” Releasing the recessed button at that
time opens the main Setup page.
For more information, refer to the Setup Pages section of the MVP-5100/50
Modero ViewPoint Touch Panel Operation/Reference Guide, available at
www.amx.com.
Accessing the Calibration Page
The Calibration page allows you to calibrate the touch panel for accurate button
selection.
1. Press and hold the recessed button on the left side of the device until a
screen appears that reads “Release button now to enter Calibration
Page, Continue holding to shut down panel”. Release the button to open
the Calibration page.
2. Press the crosshairs to calibrate the panel and return to the previous
page.
3. This page may also be accessed through the Protected Setup page.
4. Always calibrate the panel before its initial use, and after downloading
new firmware.
Accessing the Protected Setup Page
The Protected Setup page provides secured access to advanced panel
configuration options, including communication and security settings. Enter the
factory default password (1988) into the password keypad to access this page.
Setting the Panel’s Device Number
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Press the Device Number field to open the Device Number keypad.
2. Enter a unique Device Number assignment for the panel, and press Done
to return to the Protected Setup page. The Device Number range is 1 -
32000, and the default is 0.
Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings
The first step to successfully setting up the internal wireless card is to configure
the IP Settings section on the Wireless Settings page. This section configures
the communication parameters from the MVP panel to the web.
Wireless Communication Using a DHCP Address
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Wireless Settings. Wireless communication is set within the
IP Settings section of this page.
2. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the
choice cycles to DHCP. This action causes all fields in the IP Settings
section other than Host Name to be greyed-out. Once the panel is
rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS
fields after power-up.
NOTE: DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on
the panel and once the communication setup process is complete, assign
IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.
3. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the
Host Name information.
4. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of
the host name.
Configuring the Card’s Wireless Settings
The second step of a successful setup of the wireless card is to configure the
Wireless Security section of the Wireless Settings page. This section
configures both the communication and security parameters from the internal
wireless card to the WAP.
Configuring the Wireless Card for Secured Access to the WAP
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Wireless Settings.
2. Press the Site Survey button to access the Wireless Site Survey page.
3. Select a WEP secured WAP from within the Wireless Site Survey page,
as displayed in the Security field, and press the Connect button to dis-
play the Static WEP Settings popup.
4. Enter the key length and values for matching the WAP and press Save.
5. The Access Point MAC Address field will now be filled.
6. Press Back to return to the Protected Setup page.
Consult the MVP-5100/50 Modero ViewPoint Touch Panel Operation/
Reference Guide for steps for manual entry of the SSID information.
Choose a Master Connection Mode
The panel requires the establishment of the type of connection to be made
between it and the master.
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select System Settings.
2. Select Type to toggle between the Master Connection Types USB and
Ethernet.
A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port
to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master).
A Wireless Ethernet connection involves indirect communication from the
panel to a Master via a wireless connection to the network.
Upgrading Firmware Via the USB Port
The MVP-5150 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 the PC and the target device. If a programming cable is not
available, it may be purchased from www.amx.com.
Before beginning the upgrade, verify that the device is powered and the Type-A
end of the USB connector is inserted and secure 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 putting it in a Table Charging Station, before
beginning the upgrade is highly recommended.
Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type
1. After completing the installation of the USB driver, confirm the proper
installation of the large Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and
restart the PC.
2. After the panel powers up, hold the reset button to display the Setup Page
and open the Protected Setup page.
3. Press System Settings to open the System Settings page.
4. Toggle the blue Type field in the Master Connection section until the
choice cycles to USB. NOTE: ALL fields are then grayed out and
read-only. However, they still display any previous network information.
5. Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup
page.
6. Press the Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel.
Remember that the panel’s connection type must be set to USB prior to
rebooting the panel and prior to inserting the USB connector.
7. ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page should you THEN
insert the mini-USB connector into the Mini-USB Port on the panel. It may
take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a
signal to the PC, indicated by a green System Connection icon.
8. Navigate back to the System Settings page.
For more information, refer to the Upgrading Firmware section of the MVP-
5100/50 Modero Viewpoint Touch Panel Operation/Reference Guide, available
at www.amx.com.
Cleaning the Touch Overlay and Case
The touch screen overlay should be cleaned after each day’s use to maintain
the appearance of the device. Always use a clean cotton cloth and a spray
bottle containing water or a vinegar-based cleaner, as alcohol-based cleaners
can damage the device. Do not directly spray the device: instead, spray the
cloth to clean the touch screen overlay. Do NOT use an abrasive of any type to
clean the MVP-5150, as this may permanently damage or remove the device’s
finish.
Battery Life and Replacement
The battery powering the MVP-5150 is designed for upwards of 300 deep
discharge rechargings. Regular shallow rechargings will extensively increase
expected battery life, and the device should be stored in either a Table
Charging Station or Wall Charging Station when not in use to keep it at an
optimum charge. The battery has reached its effective end of life after it can no
longer hold more than a 70 percent charge.
The battery included with the MVP-5150 may be replaced with the MVP-BP-
51H High Capacity Battery Pack Kit (FG5966-24K) for longer battery life. This
kit contains the parts necessary to install the new battery, and may be
purchased from www.amx.com.
