Download this executable file to a known location on your computer.
3.
Launch the Setup.exe file and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC
The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC, it is detected as a new hardware device and the panel-
specific USBLAN driver becomes associated with it. Each time thereafter, the panel is "recognized" as a unique
USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background.
When the panel is detected for the
first time
, some user intervention is required during the association between panel
and driver.
1.
After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the large Type-A
USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart the PC.
2.
Connect the terminal end of the Ethernet cable to the connector on the side of the touch panel and then apply power.
3.
After the NXD-500i panel powers up, press and hold the
Front Setup Access
button for 4 seconds to continue with
the setup process and proceed to the
Setup
page.

nsert the mini-USB connector into the Program Port on the panel.
It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a signal to the PC, as indicated by a green
System Connection icon.
If this is the first time for installing the USB driver, a USB driver installation popup window appears on the PC.
This window states that the panel has been detected by the PC as a USB-compliant device and the PC is
installing an appropriate USB driver to establish a proper communication to the panel.
This driver was installed on the PC during the installation of the latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4
software application installations.
These applications should be installed prior to setting up a USB connection to the panel.
Windows
®
notes that the driver does not contain a Microsoft
®
digital signature.
5.
Click
Yes
when told that a digital signature was not found. This action accepts the installation of the new AMX
USB driver. The panel is now configured to communicate directly with the PC.
This process completes the association between driver and device. Each time the same touch panel is
connected to the computer, the driver is automatically loaded (
using a unique name - example USB LAN
LINK #1, #2
). Each time a different touch panel is connected to the computer, the previous procedures will
need to be repeated.
6.
Navigate back to the
System Settings
page.
Step 3: Confirm and View Current AMX USB Device Connections
The USB driver information can be confirmed via two different methods:
Via the Control panel (previous steps 1 and 2) or
Via the
Unplug or Eject Hardware
icon from the Taskbar.
1.
Navigate to
Start
>
Settings
>
Control Panel
> and double-click the
System
icon to launch the System Properties
dialog.
2.
Select the
Hardware
tab and click on the
Device Manager
button to launch the Device Manager dialog.
Within the
Device Manager
dialog, the AMX USBLAN device appears under Network Adapters (FIG. 19)
and has a unique name such as AMX USB LAN LINK #2.
The number changes depending on which recognized panel is currently connected.
If the panel is already powered, continue with step 3.
The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before
connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.
