Upgrading MVP Firmware
40
MVP-8400i 8.4" Modero® ViewPoint® Touch Panel with Intercom
Upgrading the Modero Firmware via the USB port
Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is powered and the Type-A USB connector is
securely inserted into the PC’s USB port.
The panel must be powered-on before connecting the mini-
USB connector to the panel.
Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type
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 your machine.
2.
After the panel powers-up, press and hold the two lower buttons on both sides of the display for
3 seconds
to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.
3.
Select
Protected Setup
>
System Settings
(located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings
page.
4.
Toggle the blue
Type
field (
from the Master Connection section
) until the choice cycles to
USB
.
5.
Press the
Back
button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.
6.
Press the on-screen
Reboot
button to both save any changes and
restart the panel.
Remember that
the panel’s connection type must be set to
USB
prior to rebooting the panel and prior to inserting
the USB connector.
7.
ONLY AFTER
the unit displays the first panel page,
THEN
insert 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 (
indicated by a green System Connection icon
).
If a few minutes have gone by and the System Connection icon still does not turn green,
complete the procedures in the following section to setup the Virtual Master and refresh the
System from the Online Tree. This action sends out a request to the panel to respond and
completes the communication (turning the System Connection icon green).
8.
Navigate back to the System Settings page.
Step 2: Prepare Studio for communication via the USB port
1.
Launch NetLinx Studio 2.x (default location is
Start
>
Programs
>
AMX Control Disc
>
NetLinx
Studio
2
>
NetLinx Studio 2
).
2.
Select
Settings
>
Master Communication Settings
, from the Main menu to open the Master
Communication Settings dialog (FIG. 35).
3.
Click the
Communications Settings
button to open the
Communications Settings
dialog.
4.
Click on the
NetLinx Master
radio button (
from the Platform Selection section
) to indicate that you
are working as a NetLinx Master.
5.
Click on the
Virtual Master
radio box (
from the Transport Connection Option section
) to indicate
you are wanting to configure the PC to communicate directly with a panel. Everything else such as
the Authentication is greyed-out because you are not going through the Master’s UI.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel, prior to installing the
USB Driver will cause a failure in the USB driver installation.
ALL
fields are then greyed-out and read-only, but still display any previous network
information.
