Modero X® Series G4 Touch Panels Instruction Manual
Troubleshooting
Overview
This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common operation
of a Modero X touch panel.
Panel Doesn’t Respond To Touches
Symptom:
The device either does not respond to touches on the touch screen or does not register the touch as being in
the correct area of the screen.
If the screen is off:
The device may be in Display Sleep Mode.
Press and hold the
Sleep
button to wake up the panel.
The device may not be connected to power.
Verify that the power source is connected to the device and
receiving power.
Panel Isn’t Appearing In The Online Tree Tab
1.
Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx Project Navigator window and the System Settings
page on the device.
2.
Verify the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods entered into the Master Connection section of the
System Settings
page.
Can’t Connect To a NetLinx Master
Symptom:
I can’t seem to connect to a NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio.
Select
Settings > Master Comm Settings > Communication Settings > Settings (for TCP/IP)
, and uncheck the
"Automatically Ping the Master Controller to ensure availability".
The pinging is to determine if the Master is available and to reply with a connection failure instantly if it is not. Without
using the ping feature, a connection may still be attempted, but a failure will take longer to be recognized.
When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the program will first try to ping the controller before
attempting a connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the device is off-line, or if the TCP/IP
address that was entered was incorrect.
If you decide not to ping for availability and the controller is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, the
program will try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.
Only One Modero X Series Panel In My System Shows Up
Symptom:
I have more than one Modero X Series panel connected to my System Master and only one shows up.
Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices can be associated for use with a single Master. If the user does not assign a device
number, one will be assigned automatically to the panel. When using multiple panels, different Device Number values
have to be assigned to each panel.
1.
Press and hold the
Sleep
button to open the
Settings
page.
2.
Press the
Protected b
utton, enter
1988
into the on-screen Keypad’s password field, and press
Done
when finished.
3.
Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number Keypad. The range is from 1 - 32000.
If you are trying to connect to a Master controller that is behind a firewall, you may
have to uncheck this option. Most firewalls will not allow ping requests to pass
through for security reasons.
