QUICK START GUIDE
NXV-300 Modero® Virtual Touch Panel
Overview
The Modero NXV-300 is an ideal solution when you need the intelligence and ease of
use that only a touch panel can offer but from remote locations - the back of the room,
across the campus or anywhere over the Internet. This small rack-mountable device
(similar in size to an NI-700 NetLinx Controller) allows users to access their system via
any PC or Mac via Virtual Network Connection (VNC). Users simply navigate to the
device using a browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari for PCs and Firefox and
Safari for Macs) and login with a username/password. Except for viewing the device in a
browser window and interacting with a mouse, everything looks and works similar to
using an Modero Touch Panel. And the NXV-300 is easily configured for viewing. It is
viewable in two resolutions, 800x480 and 480x272, which allows the use of many
existing touch panel page files.
Common Application
Ideal for simplified room control, convenient back-up in case a touch panel is
inaccessible, cost-effective secondary control, or enhanced help desk support.
Product Specifications
Wiring and Connections
The NXV-300 connects to the NetLinx Master via an Ethernet switch, as indicated in
FIG. 2:
After completing the installation, consult the Setup Pages and Descriptions section of
the NXV-300 Operation/Reference Guide, available at www.amx.com, for instructions
on specifying IP and Security settings.
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-300 uses CAT5/CAT6 wire via the Ethernet port for PoE power. The maximum
power draw for the NXV-300 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-300 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-
300.
•
If the NXV-300 is used with a PoE-capable Ethernet switch, then no PoE Injectors
are required.

Configuration
Accessing the NXV-300 via Zero-Config Networking
A user does not need to know the device IP address. That is purpose of having Bonjour.
Anyone with a zero-config network plugin (i.e. Bonjour) can access the device.
The default state of the NXV-300 allows anyone with the device IP address to access
the device via a Bonjour-enabled Web browser, up to the maximum of three users at a
time. This may be changed by setting a password through the G4 Web Control page,
which then prompts the user to enter the password when accessing the device.
The NXV-300 may also be accessed via a standard VNC client, making it accessible from
smartphones and computers with VNC viewer software.
NOTE: The NXV-300 should not be accessed by a smartphone via a browser, as this may
affect the screen appearance. Smartphone access should always be done through VNC
viewers.
Changing Screen Resolution
Because the NXV-300 may be accessed from computers and smartphones of varying
screen sizes, the screen resolution of the touch panel interface may be modified to fit
available screens. The resolutions available are 480 x 272 pixels and 800 x 480 pixels.
To change the resolution for the display:
1.
From the Setup page, click the Display icon.
2.
In the Display page (FIG. 4), click the Resolution button until it displays the
desired resolution for the display.
3.
Click the Back button to return to the Setup page.
4.
Click the Protected Setup icon.
5.
In the Protected Setup page, click the Reboot button and wait for the device to
finish rebooting.
6.
The device should now display the new resolution.
NOTE: The NXV-300 MUST be rebooted after changing the display resolution.
In the case of smartphone access, many VNC viewers for
smartphones will automatically scale images for the best available
display on the screen.
Determining the IP Address of the NXV-300
NXV-300 units feature a built-in zero-configuration networking client that allows you to
determine the unit’s IP address via Bonjour or a similar zero-configuration client.
Zeroconf (also known as "Bonjour") technology provides a general method to discover
services on a local area network.
Zero-Configuration (Bonjour) Client
Many zero-configuration clients are available for use, but for the purposes of this
document, we will refer to the Bonjour plugin for Internet Explorer. It is free and widely
available for download. If you don’t already have it installed on your PC, download and
install Bonjour for Windows before you begin.
If working from a Macintosh, use a zero-configuration plug-in for your Web browser.
The Bonjour plug-in is already installed in Safari, but other plug-ins may be used as
well.
Note: The NXV-300 is set to DHCP by default.
1.
With Bonjour for Windows running on a PC that has access to the LAN that the
NXV-300 resides on, connect the NXV-300 to the network (see the Wiring and
Connections section).
2.
Select the device from the Bonjour list of devices on the browser.
3.
The browser will bring up the main touch panel page. To open the Setup pages,
press and hold the Reset Button on the front of the device for 5 seconds.
4.
Access the Protected Setup pages, using your password if necessary. The unit’s IP
Address is displayed in the System Settings - IP page in the Protected Setup
pages.
At this point, you can assign a static IP Address if necessary.
If no DHCP server can be detected by the device, then the device will default to the IP
address 169.254.2.2.

complete configuration information.
