QUICK START GUIDE

NXV-CPI 

Control Phone Interface

Overview

The NXV-CPI is the ideal solution for organizations that have already invested in Cisco

®

 

IP Phones that would like to add basic control to a room. The NXV-CPI allows Cisco 

Phone users to minimize their investment in new infrastructure by transforming Cisco 

Phones into Modero® Virtual Touch Panels. Using the phone's built-in touch screen, 

users can access and control lights, shades and other AV equipment in the room. 

Dealers can use the NXV-CPI as a cost-effective entry point to control. As control 

requirements grow, users can easily upgrade to an AMX Touch Panel. Setting up the 

system is easy. Simply browse to NXV-CPI's Web page, label the buttons and add the 

related NetLinx control commands. NXV-CPI is compatible with Cisco models 7965G 

and 7975G.    

Specifications

The following table lists the specifications for the NXV-CPI: 

Installation

Note: To avoid any damage to the electronic component, installation must be performed 

in an ESD safe environment.

The NXV-CPI is installed to the NetLinx Master, and passes NetLinx control commands 

to the Master via Ethernet 10/100 cable, as indicated in FIG. 2.

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-CPI uses CAT5/CAT6 wire via the Ethernet port for PoE power. The maximum 

power draw for the NXV-CPI 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-CPI 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-

CPI.

• If the NXV-CPI is used with a PoE-capable Ethernet switch, then no PoE Injectors

are required.

NXV-CPI SPECIFICATIONS

Front Panel

Components:

• 4  LED  Indicators:

Power LED (green): Solid on indicates power is on.

Status LED (green): Blinks to indicate that the unit is communicating 

with the NetLinx Master.

Output LED (red): Lights to indicate the device is sending an XML file 

to the IP phone or a button press to the NetLinx master.

Input LED (yellow): Lights to indicate the device is receiving a 

command from the NetLinx master or a button press HTTP message 

from the IP phone.

• 1 pushbutton for factory default configuration reset

100 Mbps and turns Off when the speed is 10 Mbps.

• L/A (link/activity) - Green LED lights On when the Ethernet cables 

are connected and terminated correctly, and blinks when receiving 

Ethernet data packets.
