MVP-5100/5150 5.2" Modero Viewpoint Touch Panels
Upgrading Firmware
The MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 come already loaded with on-board firmware, which is upgradeable
through the use of the latest version of NetLinx Studio. Refer to the
NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher
Instruction Manual
for more information on how to download firmware to a touch panel.
Both the MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 use a native RNDIS USB driver for USB-over-Ethernet
communication. When the device is connected to the downloading computer (see instructions below for
more details), it creates a new LAN connection, and the user will need to supply a static IP address for
this to be enabled. To enter a static IP address, the user must edit the properties of the TCP/IP interface of
the connection itself. This driver is included in the latest version of NetLinx Studio, available from
www.amx.com
.
Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port
The MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 use 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
. The
Mini-USB port for the connector is located on the left side of the device as viewed from the front.
Before beginning with this section, verify that the device is powered and the Type-A end of the USB
connector is inserted and secure in 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 inserting it into a Table Charging Station,
before beginning the upgrade is highly recommended.
1.
Launch NetLinx Studio and select
Settings
>

dialog (FIG. 64).
Programming the MVP-5100 and MVP-5150 require the use of the latest versions of
NetLinx Studio and TPDesign 4, both available from
www.amx.com
.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the
USB Driver, will cause a failure in the USB driver installation.
