Connecting Devices - Touch Panels
Every system must have at least one AMX User-Interface device: Touch Panel, Keypad or Remote
(FIG. 45).
Some Touch Panels do not connect directly to the NetLinx Controller:
MVP (wireless) panels require a Wireless Access Point (e.g. NXA-WAP200G) between the
panel and the Controller.
Ethernet 10/100T panels require a Network Switch between the panel and the Controller.
When adding video touch panels (including any of the wired Modero panels), VA (v1.1 or
higher) automatically adds the appropriate NXA-AVB Breakout box to the System diagram at
the time that the panel is added. Note that included accessories cannot be removed from the
system.
Remotes connect to the Central Controller in one of two ways:
MIO-R1 remotes are IR-only, and connect to the Controller via an IR Receiver (e.g. AXD-
IR+, AXR-IRSM+, MIO-IRRX, AXD-IR+, AXD-IRSM+)
MIO-R2 remotes support IR and RF (418/433 MHz). These remotes can connect to the
Controller either via an IR Receiver, an RF Receiver (e.g. AXR-RF), or both.
Connecting Devices - Keypads
Mio Modero Keypads are Axcess devices (except for the Attache), so they don't require a Network
Switch. Mio Modero Attache Keypads are IR devices, and connect to the Central Controller via an IR
sensor. IR sensors (including the AXD-IR+, AXR-IRSM+, IRX-DM+ and IRX-SM+) are listed in the
Expansion tab of the Toolbox (FIG. 46).
Connecting Devices - Remotes
Remotes connect to the Central Controller in one of two ways:
MIO-R1 remotes are IR-only, and connect to the Controller via an IR Receiver (e.g. AXD-
IR+, AXR-IRSM+, MIO-IRRX, AXD-IR+, AXD-IRSM+)
MIO-R2 remotes support IR and RF (418/433 MHz). These remotes can connect to the
Controller either via an IR Receiver, an RF Receiver (e.g. AXR-RF), or both (FIG. 47).
Use the
Sub-Model
field in the Properties window to specify the RF frequency for MIO-R2 remotes.
