NXV-300
Modero
®
Virtual Touch Panel
Overview
The Modero NXV-300 is an ideal solution when you need the intelligence and ease of
use that only a touch panel can offer but from remote locations - the back of the room,
across the campus or anywhere over the Internet. This small rack-mountable device
(similar in size to an NI-700 NetLinx Controller) allows users to access their system via
any PC or Mac via Virtual Network Connection (VNC). Users simply navigate to the
device using a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari for PCs and Firefox and
Safari for Macs) and login with a username/password. Except for viewing the device in a
browser window and interacting with a mouse, everything looks and works similar to
using an Modero Touch Panel. And the NXV-300 is easily configured for viewing. It is
viewable in two resolutions, 800x480 and 480x272, which allows the use of many
existing touch panel page files.
Common Application
Ideal for simplified room control, convenient back-up in case a touch panel is
inaccessible, cost-effective secondary control, or enhanced help desk support.
Product Specifications
Wiring and Connections
The NXV-300 connects to the NetLinx Master via an Ethernet switch, as indicated in
FIG. 2:
After completing the installation, consult the
Setup Pages and Descriptions
section of
the
NXV-300 Operation/Reference Guide
, available at
www.amx.com
, for instructions
on specifying IP and Security settings.
Ethernet 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 Wiring Configuration
The table below describes the pinouts, signals, and pairing for the Ethernet 10/100
Base-T connector and cable.
FIG. 3 diagrams the RJ-45 pinouts and signals for the Ethernet RJ-45 connector and
cable.
PoE (Power Over Ethernet)
The NXV-300 uses CAT5/CAT6 wire via the Ethernet port for PoE power. The maximum
power draw for the NXV-300 is 2.2 watts.
Use the PS-POE-AF Power over Ethernet Injector (FG423-80) to simplify wiring and
installation by eliminating the need for an AC outlet at each point of installation.
Note: The NXV-300 can be placed up to approximately 330’ (100 meters) from the
nearest PoE Injector.
• If used with a non PoE-capable Ethernet switch, then an optional PS-POE-AF
Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) power supply is required to provide power to the NXV-
300.
• If the NXV-300 is used with a PoE-capable Ethernet switch, then no PoE Injectors
are required.
