MVP-9000i 9" Modero® ViewPoint® Touch Panel with Intercom
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). This is available through the USB tab on the System Settings page.
3. Select the Mode field to choose the master connection mode. The connection modes are Auto, URL, and Listen. For
more information on the Connection Modes, please refer to the System Settings - Master section on page 64.
Ethernet Over USB
The MVP-9000i device supports an Ethernet over USB driver for panel downloads and firmware updates. This means
that the device can connect to a host computer for updates through its Mini USB port instead of through a standard
Ethernet port (FIG. 31).
Firmware downloads require use of the USB Programming Cable (FG10-5965) and a computer running Windows XP.
Touch Panel Setup
To prepare the MVP-9000i for Ethernet for USB communication:
1. Turn on the MVP-9000i and wait for the device to finish booting up.
2. 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.
3. When the connection is made, 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. 32):

Although firmware upgrades can be conducted over a wireless Ethernet connection,
transferring firmware KIT files over a wired LAN, USB data stick, or USB flash card is
recommended, and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery
power is below 30 percent, and the touch panel is not connected to a power supply,
the download will not be completed.
