The Protected Setup page (FIG. 115) centers around the properties used by the panel to properly communicate with the NetLinx
Master. Enter the factory default password (1988) into the password keypad to access this page.
The elements of the Protected Setup page are described in the table below:

Protected Setup Page Elements
Back: Saves the changes and returns you to the previously active touch panel page.
Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current visual update of the panel’s
connection status regardless of what page is currently active.
• A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection with a currently secured
target Master (requiring a username and password).
Device Number: Opens a keypad that is used to set and display the current device number.
Device Name: Opens a keypad that is used to set and display the current device name.
Synchronize Device Names: Press this button to synchronize the device name of the panel with the device name registered with the
Master.
Reboot Panel: Pressing this button causes the panel to restart after saving any changes.
Keyboard Layout: Displays the listing of supported international keyboard settings. The following list allows the end-user to
specify which international keyboard is being connected to the Modero touch panel and then which
characters should be reflected within the G4 Computer Control and TakeNote applications:
- None (default), Spanish, Italian, French, German, Swiss, UK, and US
Note: You must be using a standard 101 button keyboard to accurately utilize this feature.
• Modero uses the open-source VNC character standards to transmit the character information to a
target device such as a PC.
• One of the issues which occurred in the past was that some 101-key foreign keyboard character sets
were being incorrectly represented via the Computer Control and Take Note applications.
• For example: Spanish keyboards consisting of Castilian character sets such as tilde (
é) were being
miscommunicated by the VNC application to the source computer and as a result, passwords were not
properly being entered.
• The VNC - Computer Control keyboard drivers found in earlier Modero firmware (build 57 or earlier)
were using an English type/character set which was not fully utilizing all available foreign characters.
• Several different countries have produced 101-key international keyboards, each with their own unique
set of keys occupying the keyboard. Several of these keys are specific to the language they are used
with.
Options: Allows you to select various touch panel features:
•The Function Show button enables the display of the channel port and channel code in the top left
corner of the button, the level port and level code in the bottom left corner, and the address port and
address code in the bottom right corner (see FIG. 116 for an example of the function locations).
•Use the Page Tracking button to toggle page tracking. When enabled, the touch panel sends page data
back to the NetLinx Master, or vice versa depending on the touch panel settings.
•Use the Te ln et button to enable or disable the telnet server on the panel. This feature focuses on direct
telnet communication to the panel.
•Use the Front Button Setup Access button to activate the grey Front Setup Access button (located
below the LCD) to access the firmware pages.

- Press and hold this grey button for 6 seconds to access the Calibration page.
