MXD/T-700 7" Modero X Series® Touch Panels

Appendix: Troubleshooting

Overview

This section describes the solutions to possible hardware/firmware issues that could arise during the common 
operation of a Modero X touch panel.

Panel Doesn’t Respond To Touches

Symptom: 

The device either does not respond to touches on the touch screen or does not register the touch as 

being in the correct area of the screen.

If the screen is off:



The device may be in Display Sleep Mode. 

Press and hold the 

Sleep

 button to wake up the panel.



The device may not be connected to power.

 Verify that the power source is connected to the device 

and receiving power.

Panel Isn’t Appearing In The Online Tree Tab

1.

Verify that the System number is the same on both the NetLinx Project Navigator window and the System 
Settings page on the device.

2.

Verify the proper NetLinx Master IP and connection methods entered into the Master Connection section 
of the 

System Settings

 page.

Can’t Connect To a NetLinx Master

Symptom: 

I can’t seem to connect to a NetLinx Master using NetLinx Studio.

Select 

Settings > Master Comm Settings > Communication Settings > Settings (for TCP/IP)

, and uncheck the 

"Automatically Ping the Master Controller to ensure availability". 

The pinging is to determine if the Master is available and to reply with a connection failure instantly if it is not. 
Without using the ping feature, a connection may still be attempted, but a failure will take longer to be 
recognized. 

When connecting to a NetLinx Master controller via TCP/IP, the program will first try to ping the controller 
before attempting a connection. Pinging a device is relatively fast and will determine if the device is off-line, 
or if the TCP/IP address that was entered was incorrect.

If you decide not to ping for availability and the controller is off-line, or you have an incorrect TCP/IP address, 
the program will try for 30-45 seconds to establish a connection.

Only One Modero Panel In My System Shows Up

Symptom: 

I have more than one Modero panel connected to my System Master and only one shows up.

Multiple NetLinx Compatible devices can be associated for use with a single Master. If the user does not 
assign a device number, one will be assigned automatically to the panel. When using multiple panels, different 
Device Number values have to be assigned to each panel.

1.

Press and hold the 

Sleep

 button to open the 

Settings

 page.

2.

Press the 

Protected b

utton, enter 

1988

 into the on-screen Keypad’s password field, and press 

Done

 when 

finished. 

3.

Enter a Device Number value for the panel into the Device Number Keypad. The range is from 1 - 32000. 

If you are trying to connect to a Master controller that is behind a firewall, you may 
have to uncheck this option. Most firewalls will not allow ping requests to pass 
through for security reasons.
