Available Accessories for the Single Frame

When installing the Mx, you can choose between the single frame and the FlatMount Frame. Using the single frame, you have the choice between on-wall 
and in-wall mounting for the Mx. Note that the space is quite limited when using on-wall mounting.

Power Supply and Network Connection

Power Supply

To supply power to the Mx, the following options exist:

•  PoE (Power over Ethernet) using a CAT 5 to CAT 7 installation cable.
•  Using an external power supply (12 to 48 V DC) that is connected to the 

Mx by a two-wire cable.

When supplying power via PoE, the network connection is established at the 
same time. All you need for this purpose is a PoE switch or a MOBOTIX NPA 
PoE Adapter. When integrating the device into an existing network, using a 
PoE switch with several PoE ports is recommended – especially when several 
PoE-supplied end devices are to be connected. When connecting MxBus devices, 
you need to use either PoE or an external 48 V DC power supply.

Network Connection

To connect the Mx to a network, the following options exist:

•  together with power supply via PoE (see above)
•  with Ethernet installation cable, but without PoE power supply
•  using an existing WiFi network

Recommendation
The  easiest  and,  more  importantly,  most  reliable  network  connection  for 
the Mx is to use the network cabling for power supply and network 
connectivity (PoE). By nature, WiFi networks are bound to experience tem-
porary disruptions. Therefore, it is 

not recommended to use a WiFi network 

connection for the Mx if you need a reliable and permanently available 
door station intercom.

Installation Example With Two Mx Units

Mx 1 is connected via a failsafe PoE connection and serves as remote station for the door station as well as WiFi access point for additional remote 
stations (iPhone, iPad). Mx 2 is farther away and uses the WiFi network of the DSL router. It is used primarily as video management system to monitor 
and configure the installed cameras.

Installing the Single Frame With On-Wall or In-Wall Housing

1.  Lead Cable into Housing

On-wall/in-wall: The housing has two cable inlets for an on-wall hous-
ing and several inlets for an in-wall housing. Pierce through the required 
inlet with, for example, a screwdriver. When using the on-wall housing, 
lead the cable into the housing. When using the in-wall housing, make 
sure that you pierce through the inlet that is closest to the required cable 
connection, i.e., use the upper inlet for a two-wire cable and the lower 
for an installation cable.

2.  Insert Housing

On-wall: Drill four holes and insert dowels, if necessary (use the on-wall 
housing as a template to mark the holes). Screw on the housing.
In-wall: Prepare the opening for the in-wall housing (W x H x D: 

117

 x 

129

 

x min. 

52 mm

). You can use the reverted housing as a template to mark 

the opening. Lead the cable into the housing. Make sure that the cable is 
long enough (about 40 cm/16 in), so that the wires can be connected easily 
to the MxDisplay later on. Excess cable can be stored in the housing by 
winding it up in a spiral. Insert the housing. Connect the in-wall housing in 
such a way with the underground that the bars attached to the corners of 
the housing (see fig.) are still visible and that the front edge of the housing 
lines up precisely with the wall.   

Set the protective cardboard cover (included with the delivered parts) into 
the housing before pushing it into the wall cavity. This prevents cement from 
entering the interior of the housing. After you have installed the housing 

into the wall, you can easily remove the carton by pushing through the 
pre-cut opening and pulling it out.

3.  Attach Single Frame

On-wall/in-wall: When attaching the frame, make sure that the arrow 
on the red knob (theft protection) points at the “open lock” icon and that 
the frame is positioned in such a way that the red knob is on the bottom 
left corner of the frame.

!

Caution:

 In situations, in which a theft protection is not necessary, 

e.g., indoor installations, 

do not activate the theft protection (the 

red knob remains in the “open lock” position). If you twist the 
knob by mistake, you have to be able to attach a battery (9 V DC) 
to the theft protection wires! Otherwise, you will not be able to 
remove the module from the frame any more.

Secure the frame with the on-wall or the in-wall housing and make sure 
that you do not overtighten the screws included with the FlatMount Frame.
