Although firmware upgrades can be conducted over a wireless Ethernet connection,
transferring firmware KIT files over a direct USB connection is recommended, and
only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless
connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become
corrupted.
While standard input/output headsets may be used in lieu of headphones, the
headset may only be used for output. While you may receive sound from the headset,

receiving sound.
MVP-5200i Modero Viewpoint Widescreen Touch Panel
Basic Operation
The MVP-5200i is operated using both its integral touchscreen and the navigation wheel on the right side
of the device. If the device has gone into its Standby Mode, a touch of the touchscreen or of the button
wheel will reactivate it.
The MVP-5200i device’s power use allows up to 96 hours of use between rechargings of its internal
battery, but its battery charge lasts up to 120 hours if the device goes into Shutdown Mode during that
time. The device may be placed in its charging cradle at any time and operated within its cradle.
The device will automatically go into Sleep Mode after fifteen minutes of inactivity, and this limit may
be changed at any time. Any wireless Internet connection intended for the device will be reconnected
within approximately twenty seconds after the device is placed in its charging cradle. Depending upon
preselected settings, the device may be set to go into Active Mode as soon as it is placed in the cradle.
Navigation Wheel
The MVP-5200i device uses a unique button wheel for all commands not directly involving the
touchscreen. This wheel, known as a navigation wheel, is located in the upper right corner of the device
(FIG. 4). Used with the touchscreen, the navigation wheel allows scrolling and adjusting by turning the
wheel with a thumb or finger and then pressing down on one of the wheel’s compass points for up, down,
left, and right. The wheel is sensitive enough to adjust levels with one-third of a rotation. The center of
the navigation wheel also acts as a button in its own right: for example, pressing down directly upon the
wheel center may be used for the equivalent of an "Enter" keystroke
Press and hold the wheel center for three seconds to access the Setup pages (for more information, please
see the Setup Pages section on page 49). Continue to hold the wheel center for another three seconds to
access the Calibration page (page 86).
If the MVP-5200i needs to be shut down or reset for any reason, press and hold down the wheel center
button until the popup stating “panel shutting down” appears or the screen goes dark. Continuously
holding down the center button down will cycle the MVP-5200i through the following steps:
1.
Setup Pages
2.
Calibration
3.
Firmware shutdown
4.
Hardware shutdown (automatically invoked if the device’s firmware is unable to shut down the
device.
When in its Standby Power Mode, the MVP-5200i may only be returned to its Awake state by touching
the screen.

The light at the center of the navigation wheel brightens and dims based on its source of power. It lights
at full intensity when attached to a power source, such as the Table Charging Station (see the Table
Charging Station section on page 9) or the Wall Charging Station (see the Wall Charging Station section
on page 11), but lights at only half intensity when running on its internal battery. This allows the user to
ascertain whether the device was properly installed in a charging station, as the brightness will visibly
increase with a correct docking and will flash while charging. (The flashing during recharging may be
disabled via the device’s on-board Setup page, as explained in the Setup Pages section on page 49.) The
behavior of the navigation wheel LED is dependent upon its status, and whether the blink function for
the LED while in sleep mode is enabled:

MVP-5200i Modero Viewpoint Widescreen Touch Panel
Installing the MVP-WCS-52
Since the Wall Charging Station is intended to be affixed to a wall or other permanent structure, care
must be taken to ensure its proper installation to prevent potential damage to the MVP-5200i placed
within.
Installing the plastic Back Box
The plastic back box has two knockouts at the top of the box and four (4) lockdown wings attached to the
box with Phillips-head screws. For ease of installation, the interior of the box contains an "UP" arrow
pointing to the knockouts. The Metal Rough-In Box does not have to be installed beforehand, but it
offers an extra level of support.
To install the Plastic Back Box:
1.
Cut a hole into the wall or surface intended to hold the box. The outer lip of the box is sized 8.69
inches (220.66mm) long and 6.0 inches (152.4mm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4" (6.4mm)
smaller in each dimension (FIG. 10). Use the included MVP-WCS-52 Wall Charging Station
Template (68-5966-01) as an aid for hole placement and measurement.
2.
Select the knockout to be removed from the top of the box. The box has two knockouts, at the top
left and the top right.
Other than wall installation tools, the only tool required for this installation is a #1
Phillips screwdriver.

3.
Run the power cable through the knockout into the box. Pull out about six inches (15.25cm) of cable
into the box to facilitate installation of the MVP-WCS-52.
4.
Slide the plastic back box into the hole, being careful not to twist or pinch the cable, and set it flush
with the wall (FIG. 11). Make sure that all of the lockdown wings are folded into their slots before
attempting to insert the box. For ease of installation, the inside of the box has the direction "UP"
labeled for reference.
5.
Extend the wings on the sides of the box by tightening the screws inside the box. Not all of the
wings must be extended to lock the box in place, but extending a minimum of the top and bottom
wings is highly recommended. Apply enough pressure to the screw head to keep the box flush with
the wall: this ensures that the wing will tighten up against the inside of the wall.
6.
Prepare the captive wires for the 2-pin 3.55 mm mini-captive wire connector used for the MVP-
WCS-52’s power supply:
To assist with wiring, and to avoid mechanical stresses on the wire and the
mechanism of the Wall-Mounted Charging Station, the top right knockout is preferred
for use.
FIG. 11 Installation of plastic back box
Note Orientation Designator
All lockdown wings folded flat during installation
Make absolutely certain that the box is in its intended position. Once the box
lockdown wings are extended within the box’s hole within the wall, removing the box
will be extremely difficult without damaging the wall in the process.
The maximum recommended torque to screw in the wings on the plastic back box is
105 IN-OZ [74 N-CM]. Applying excessive torque while tightening the wing screws,
such as with powered screwdrivers, can strip out the wings or damage the plastic
back box.
Preparing and connecting the captive wires requires the use of a wire stripper and
flat-blade screwdriver.
MVP-5200i Modero Viewpoint Widescreen Touch Panel
� Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of wire insulation off all wires.
� Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector.
� Turn the screws clockwise to secure the wires in the connector. Do not over-torque the screws;
doing so can bend the seating pins and damage the connector.
7.
Secure the power cable to the device, using either of the two tie-wrap anchors included in the
Installation Kit at the top rear of the device (FIG. 12). Point the head of each tie wrap toward the
center of the device.
8.
Firmly seat the mini-captive wire connector to the power connector on the device.
9.
Firmly seat the device against the box. Make sure that the tab connector at the top of the device is
locked into the box.
10. Insert the two installation screws from the MVP-WCS-52 Installation Kit into the screw holes in the
interior compartment of the device and tighten them to anchor the device to the box (FIG. 13).

Installing the Optional Metal Rough-In Box
The optional metal rough-in box (FG037-11) is 10 inches (25.40cm) wide at its widest dimension (wider
than the bezel of the Wall Charging Station), and is only intended for pre construction installations
(FIG. 14). The Metal Rough-In Box is used in conjunction with the Wall Charging Station’s plastic back
box. The Metal Rough-In Box must be located behind 3/8" (0.95cm) to 3/4" (1.91cm) of wall/mounting
surface material.
The metal rough-in box bears a wing on each corner which is intended to bridge gaps between studs and/
or spacers. These wings may be bent carefully in order to fit a particular gap, but may not be so bent as to
allow the box to hang in a vertical position. Once placed in the desired position, put at least one screw
through each wing into the adjoining stud or spacer to secure it.
The interior of the box contains a set of holes on either side, as well as top and bottom, for standard 1/4-
inch screws. Use these holes to anchor the box to its adjoining studs or spacers.
The box has two sets of knockouts in the top and bottom, one of the set for US wiring and one for
international wiring.
After completing the installation of the metal rough-in box, install sheet rock or other wall material over
the box, cut a hole matching the size of the inside diameter in the sheet rock, and clean out all dust before
proceeding with the installation of the plastic back box.
FIG. 14 Typical metal Rough-In Box Installation
Install front surface of box
flush with surface of wall stud
Ensure that the metal rough-in box is flush with the 2x4 studs. Any overhang will
affect the installation of the covering sheetrock, as well as affect the placement of the
Plastic Back Box.
Make sure that the power cable has been pulled through the metal rough-in box by
the resident electrician before continuing the installation.
MVP-5200i Modero Viewpoint Widescreen Touch Panel
Other MVP-WCS-52 installations
The Wall-Mounted Charging Station is designed to be installed in various different locations, such as
into the face of a wooden podium or the top of a table. Depending upon the ability to wire it to a power
source, Wall-Mounted Charging Stations may be installed on vertical or horizontal surfaces composed of
such materials as wood, brick, and glass.
Installing a Wall-Mounted Charging Station into a solid wall thicker than a standard thickness of
sheetrock is possible, but requires special preparation. If installing into a solid wall of concrete or rock, a
recess must be chiselled or cut out to match the size of the device. The box is sized 8.375 inches
(21.27cm) long and 5.75 inches (14.60cm) high, so the hole should be at least 1/4" (0.64cm) smaller in
these dimensions. To facilitate the full range of movement of the device’s components, the recess must
be at least 2.69 inches (6.83cm) deep.
Ensure that the power cable has been installed in the wall and is accessible by the
installer before chiseling out the recess.
Instead of using the lockdown wings to secure the Plastic Back Box, standard
concrete screws may be inserted through the screw holes after removing the
lockdown wings. However, drill the concrete screw holes into the wall before setting
the screws into the box, as excessive torque applied to the screws will damage the
box. To avoid this, the box may be installed with adhesive. Test an unobtrusive spot
on the back of the box with a sample of the adhesive to check for any adverse
reactions before installing the device.
MVP-5200i Modero Viewpoint Widescreen Touch Panel
Configuring Communication
All control for a MVP-5200i touch panel is established through a NetLinx Master. Communication
between the MVP and the Master consists of using either Wireless Ethernet (DHCP, Static IP) or USB.
References to Ethernet in this manual focus on the use of Wireless Ethernet via the MVP’s WiFi Card.
In the example below (FIG. 15), three MVP-5200i devices are shown at varying distances from the two
WAP gateways. As with any other WAP network, the gateways are spaced so as to allow a maximum
wireless coverage for the three devices.
When initially installing the MVP-5200i, some basic configuration items, including network settings and
NetLinx settings, will need to be set. For more information, refer to the Protected Setup Pages section on
page 61.

Wireless Settings - Wireless Access Overview
DHCP
When choosing DHCP, a DHCP server must be accessible before the fields are populated.
The parameters of the wireless card must be set before selecting Ethernet as the Master Connection
Type. The Wireless Access Point communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed
wireless CF card inside the device.
MVP touch panels connect to a wireless network through their use of the pre-installed AMX 802.11g
wireless interface card. This allows users to communicate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP). The
WAP communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless interface card installed
within the panel. This internal card transmits data using 802.11x signals at 2.4 GHz. For a more detailed
explanation of the new security and encryption technology, refer to the Appendix B: Wireless
Technology section on page 180.
For more information on utilizing the AMX Certificate Upload Utility in conjunction with the EAP
security, refer to the AMX Certificate Upload Utility section on page 187.
If the SSID (Network Name) and WEP fields have not previously been configured, the
Wireless Settings page will not work until the panel is rebooted.
MVP-5200i Modero Viewpoint Widescreen Touch Panel
Configuring Wireless Network Access
The first step in connecting the MVP-5200i to a wireless network is to configure the wireless
communication parameters within the device’s Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the
card to communicate to a target WAP: the device must still be directed to communicate with the
correct Master. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page, which allows
configuration of the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the
target Master.
Step 1: Configure the Device’s Wireless IP Settings
The first step to a successful setup of the internal wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on
the Wireless Settings page. This section configures the communication parameters from the MVP panel

The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read -only).
Link Quality
Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good,
Very Good, and Excellent).
• Even when link quality is at its lowest you still have a connection, and the
ability to transmit and receive data, even if at lower speeds.
Note: “Link Quality” and “Signal Strength” are applicable to RF connections
only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to communi-
cate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
Signal Strength
This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
Access Point connection in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and
Excellent).
SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is a measure of the relative strength of a wireless RF
connection. Given this value and the link quality above, you can determine the
noise level component of the SNR. For example, if signal strength is high but
the link quality is low, then the cause of the link degradation is noise. However,
if signal strength is low and link quality is low the cause would simply be signal
strength.

Generate (Passphrase):
This button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you to enter a
passphrase. The panel then automatically generates four WEP keys that are
compatible only with Modero panels. Enter these WEP keys into the target
WAP.
When working with multiple panels, WEP Keys must be entered into the WAP
for each panel.
• All Modero panels use the same code key generator. Therefore, this
Passphrase generates identical keys on any Modero panel.
• The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.
Note: This Key generator is unique to Modero panels and does not generate
the same keys as non-AMX wireless devices. For example, a Current Key
string generated anywhere else will not match those created on Modero
panels.
Default Key:
Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers to select a WEP key to
use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the corresponding
“Current Key” is displayed. Each Current Key corresponds to a WEP key.
This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to
re-enter that networks’ WEP key. It is also sometimes used to set up a
rotating key schedule to provide an extra layer of security.
WEP Keys:
This feature provides another level of security by selecting up to four WEP
Keys.
Push any of the four buttons to open an on-screen keyboard. Both ASCII and
HEX keys are supported. Up to four keys can be configured for both.
• An ASCII key utilizes either 5 or 13 ASCII characters
• A HEX key utilizes either 10 or 26 Hexidecimal characters
Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value.
Note: A 64-bit key will be 10 characters in length while a 128-bit key will be
26 characters in length. The length of the key entered determines the level of
WEP encryption employed (64 or 128-bit). 128-bit keys may be used if
supported by the internal wireless card.
Current Key:
Displays the current WEP key in use.
• When working with a single panel and a single WAP, manually entering the
Current Key from the WAP into the selected WEP Key is recommended.
• When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, generating a Current
Key using the same passphrase on all panels and then entering the
panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless Access Point is
recommended.
• Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the
keyboard initialization text.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to erase stored key information.
Authentication:
Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open (broadcast publicly) or
Shared (encrypted).
• An Open network allows connections from any client without authentication.
• A Shared network requires the client to submit a key which is shared by the
network WAP before it is given permission to associate with the network. In
this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.
In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require
the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the
network.

EAP Security & Server Certificates - Overview
The following EAP types all support a server certificate:
� EAP-PEAP
� EAP-TTLS
� EAP-TLS
All three of these certificate-using security methods are documented in the following sections. EAP
Authentication goes a step beyond simply encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of
credentials be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network
(FIG. 63). Please note that no user intervention is necessary during this process, as it proceeds
automatically based on the configuration parameters entered into the panel.
A server certificate file uses a certificate installed in a panel so that the RADIUS server can be validated
before the panel tries to connect to it. The field name associated with this file is Certificate Authority.
If a server certificate is used, it should first be downloaded into the panel and the Certificate Authority
field should then be set to the name of that certificate file. No file path should be used for this setting, as
all certificates are stored in a specific directory that the user cannot control or change. The most secure
connection method uses a server certificate.
If no server certificate will be used, this field should be left blank. If the field contains a file name, then a
valid certificate file with the same file name must be previously installed on the panel. Otherwise the
authentication process will fail.

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in
both wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication
Server, also known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length
strings as inputs. An on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication
information securely in a wireless network environment.
EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate
validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless
network.
FIG. 64 Wireless Settings page - EAP-LEAP Settings
LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates, and is therefore
one of the least secure EAP security methods. However, it can be utilized
successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.

Automatic PAC
Provisioning:
This selection toggles PAC (Protected Access Credential) Provisioning -
Enabled (automatic) or Disabled (manual).
• If Enabled is selected, the following PAC File Location field is disabled,
because the search for the PAC file is done automatically.
• If Disabled is selected, the user is required to manually locate a file
containing the PAC shared secret credentials for use in authentication. In
this case, the IT department must create a PAC file and then transfer it into
the panel using the AMX Certificate Upload application.
Note: Even when automatic provisioning is enabled, the PAC certificate is
only downloaded the first time that the panel connects to the RADIUS server.
This file is then saved into the panel's file system and is then reused from
then on. It is possible for the user to change a setting, such as a new Identity,
that would invalidate this certificate. In that case, the panel must be forced to
download a new PAC file. To do this, set Automatic PAC Provisioning to
Disabled and then back to Enabled. This forces the firmware to delete the old
file and request a new one.
PAC File Location:
This field is used when the previous Automatic PAC Provisioning option has
been Disabled.
• When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen PAC File Location
keyboard which allows you to enter the name of the file containing the PAC
shared secret credentials for use in authentication.

EAP-TTLS Settings
Press the EAP-TTLS button to opens the EAP-TTLS Settings page (FIG. 68).
TTLS (EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is an authentication method that does not use a client
certificate to authenticate the panel. However. this method is more secure than PEAP because it does not
broadcast the identity of the user. Setup is similar to PEAP, but differs in the following areas:
� An anonymous identity must be specified until the secure tunnel between the panel and the
Radius server is setup to transfer the real identity of the user.
� There is no end-user ability to select from the different types of PEAP.
� Additional Inner Authentication choices are available to the end-user.
EAP-TTLS security is designed for wireless environments where the Radius server needs to validate
directly the identity of the client (panel) before allowing it access to the network. This validation is done
by tunneling a connection through the WAP and directly between the panel and the Radius server. Once
the client is identified and then validated, the Radius server disconnects the tunnel and allows the panel
to access the network directly via the target WAP.

SSID (Service Set Identifier):
Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target
WAP.
The SSID is a unique name used by the WAP, and is assigned to all panels
on that network. An SSID is required by the WAP before the panel is
permitted to join the network.
• The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
• Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network.
• NXA-WAP200Gs use AMX as their default SSID.
• With EAP security, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
detected WAP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.

Anonymous Identity:
Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter an IT provided alpha-numeric string
which (similar to the username) used as the identity, but that does not
represent a real user.
This information is used as a fictitious name which might be seen by sniffer

EAP-TLS Settings
Press the EAP-TLS button to open the EAP-TLS Settings page (FIG. 69).
TLS (Transport Layer Security) was the original standard wireless LAN EAP authentication protocol.
TLS requires additional work during the deployment phase, but provides additional security since even a
compromised password is not enough to break into an EAP-TLS protected wireless network
environment.
EAP-TLS security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to securely transmit data
over a wireless network by adding an additional level of security protocol via the use of a private key.

Client certificate configuration
A client certificate can be configured by an IT department in several ways. The client certificate and
private key can both be incorporated into one file or split into two separate files. In addition, the file
format used by these files could be PEM, DER, or PKCS12. These formats are described later in this
section. The following table describes how to fill in the fields for each possible case.
AMX supports the following security certificates
� PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail)
� DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules)
� PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12)
Certificate files frequently use 5 file extensions. It can be confusing because there is not a one to one
correspondence. The following table shows the possible file extension used for each certificate type:
Please note which certificate types are supported by the different certificate fields used on the
configuration screens (PEAP, TTLS, and TLS). The following table outlines the firmware fields and their
supported certificate types.

Cache Settings Page
The options on the Cache Settings page (FIG. 72) allow setting and clearing of the flash memory cache,
as well as viewing the status of the current cache settings. The G4 graphics engine caches images to
decrease load time of previously viewed images. RAM caching is always enabled, and both static and
dynamic images are stored in the RAM cache as they are viewed. The size of RAM cache is
automatically configured to take into account available memory versus memory that may be needed by
the panel later. As the RAM cache approaches its maximum size, the oldest items in the cache may be
discarded to make room for newer items. If Flash caching is enabled, dynamic images that would have
been discarded will actually be moved to Flash, since retrieving images on Flash is typically faster than
across a network, although it is slower than using a RAM cache. Note that since static images are already
stored on Flash, they are never moved to the Flash cache, so Flash caching applies only to dynamic
images. Images in Flash cache are moved back to RAM cache the next time they are viewed. As the
Flash cache approaches its maximum size, the least recently used items may be discarded to make room
for new items.
