Configuring Communication
Overview
All control for a MVP-5200i touch panel is established through a NetLinx Master. Communication between the MVP and the Master
consists of using either Wireless Ethernet (DHCP, Static IP) or USB. References to Ethernet in this manual focus on the use of
Wireless Ethernet via the MVP’s WiFi Card.
NOTE:
Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero panel-specific firmware. Verify you are using
the latest versions of AMX’s NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 programs.
In the example below (FIG. 17), three MVP-5200i devices are shown at varying distances from the two AP gateways. As with any
other AP network, the gateways are spaced so as to allow a maximum wireless coverage for the three devices.
When initially installing the MVP-5200i, some basic configuration items, including network settings and NetLinx settings, will need
to be set. For more information, refer to the
Protected Setup Pages
section on page 52.
NOTE:
The MVP-5200i defaults to Auto mode for its Master connection.
IR Communication
In certain situations, the MVP-5200i may be used as an infrared remote device for other AMX controllers. The device can transmit
IR over 20 feet (6.10 m) from the panel at frequencies of 38KHz, 455KHz, and 1.2MHz. IR receivers and transmitters on G4 panels
share the device address number of the panel.
The MVP-5200i includes an IR transmitter for communication between the device and the NetLinx Master and between separate
devices. The transmitter is located behind the IR Emitter Panel on the rear of the device (FIG. 18).
