tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with; see
Master
Connection
.
Consult the

Guide
for setting the wireless communication using a static IP address.

section (other than Host Name) to be greyed-out.
Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section.
Once the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and
displayed in the
DNS
fields after power-up.
Consult the
MVP-9000i Operation/Reference Guide
for setting a Host Name.
Configuring the Card’s Wireless Settings
This section configures both the communication and security parameters from
the internal wireless card to the WAP.
Once you have set up the wireless card parameters, you must configure the
communication parameters for the target Master; see
Master Connection
.
Consult the
MVP-9000i Operation/Reference Guide
for configuring the wireless
card for unsecured access to the WAP.

Panel Intercom Configuration
Incorporating an intercom capable panel into your NetLinx
system
Download the module for the intercom panel from
www.amx.com
, and include
it in your NetLinx project file. For searching purposes, the module
manufacturer
is
AMX
and the
model
is
Intercom
.
Note
:
The intercom module will only work with AMX intercom capable panels.
Cleaning the Touch Overlay and Case
Always use a clean cotton cloth and a spray bottle containing water or a
vinegar-based cleaner when cleaning the MVP-9000i, as alcohol-based
cleaners can damage the device.
Do not directly spray the device
: instead,
spray the cloth to clean the touch screen overlay. Do
NOT
use an abrasive of
any type to clean the MVP-9000i, as this may permanently damage or remove
the device’s finish.
Battery Life and Replacement
The battery powering the MVP-9000i is designed for upwards of 300 deep
discharge rechargings. Regular shallow rechargings will extensively increase
expected battery life, and the device should be stored in either a Table
Charging Station or Wall Charging Station when not in use to keep it at an
optimum charge. The battery has reached its effective end of life after it can no
longer hold more than a 70 percent charge.
Proper Battery Maintenance
NOTE: To insure maximum performance and reliability of your AMX
Wireless Touch Panel, please insure that a full charge is performed every
3 months if not used regularly. If a battery is left uncharged beyond this
time frame, it may result in premature battery lifespan degradation and
will require replacement.
