MVP-5100/5150 5.2" Modero Viewpoint Touch Panels
Panel Downloads and Firmware Updates
The MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 devices support a USB driver for panel downloads and firmware
updates. This means that the devices connect to a host computer for updates through their Mini USB
ports (FIG. 22). All touch panel setup is done through NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4.
Touch Panel Setup
To prepare the device for USB communication:
1. Turn on the device and wait for it to finish booting up.
2. Make sure that you have downloaded the latest versions of NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4,
available from www.amx.com.
3. Insert the mini-USB end of the USB Programming Cable into the mini-USB port on the device.
Insert the other end into the appropriate USB port on the computer containing the files to be
downloaded.
4. If the connection goes well, the Windows XP machine will detect the device as an unsupported USB
device. It then presents a dialog that prompts the user for a suitable driver (FIG. 23):
5. Select Yes, this time only and click on Next.
6. In the new window:
- Select Use the following IP Address.
Under IP address, provide an IP address. Ensure that it is in the same subnet as the IP address
given to the usb0 interface on the MVP-5100, but make sure that it has a different node
number. The IP address cannot be the same as the panel`s USB IP address.
