Configuration files (download/upload)
Application-specific graphics for the
Home
menu
x-touchPANEL also has an Ethernet interface which enables configuration and operation via a
connected PC or laptop. The touchscreen and PC/laptop displays are synchronized in real time.
Since the current statuses of several panels can be transmitted, the entire system can be operated

Uploading and downloading files
Via the infrared interface (IrDA) you can download files to a PC/laptop or upload files from a PC/
laptop to x-touchBOX/PANEL.
To load, e.g., a software update to the x-touchBOX/PANEL, you must perform the following steps:
Determine the program version in x-touchBOX/PANEL (see "Determining the display name and
program version", page 13).
Check if a higher version is available and download it if required.
(http://www.tridonicatco.com -> Services -> Download -> Software -> x-touchBOX/PANEL).
Set up the infrared connection.
Install the update of the ›x-touch‹ software.
Hint
The configuration file of an x-touchBOX or x-touchPANEL contains the system settings (addresses
of the operating devices, names of the devices, groups and scenes, etc.) and enables the
configuration to be saved.
