Configuring Communication

NXD-500i 5" Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom

Configuring and Using USB with a Virtual Master

NetLinx Studio can be set up to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP

Address for communication to the panel. The PC is first equipped with the USB driver, the panel is then

configured for USB communication, and then Studio is configured to act as the Master.

For a personal computer to establish a connection to a Modero panel via USB, the target computer must have

the appropriate AMX USB driver installed. This installation is bundled into the latest TPDesign4 software

setup process or can be downloaded independently from the main Application Files page on www.amx.com.

Step 1: Setup the Panel and PC for USB Communication

If you do not currently have the latest version of TPDesign4, navigate to www.amx.com > Tech Center >

Downloadable Files > Application Files > NetLinx Design Tools section of the website and locate the

File Transfer 2 executable (FT2Setup.exe). This will install the native RNDIS USB driver when

executed.

2. Download this executable file to a known location on your computer.

3. Launch the Setup.exe file and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.

Step 2: Confirm the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC

The first time each AMX touch panel is connected to the PC, it is detected as a new hardware device and the

panel-specific USBLAN driver becomes associated with it. Each time thereafter, the panel is "recognized" as a

unique USBLAN device and the association to the driver is done in the background.

When the panel is detected for the first time, some user intervention is required during the association

between panel and driver.

1. After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the large

Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port, and restart the PC.

2. Connect the terminal end of the Ethernet cable to the connector on the side of the touch panel and then

apply power.

3. After the NXD-500i panel powers up, press and hold the Front Setup Access button for 4 seconds to

continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.

4. Insert the mini-USB connector into the Program Port on the panel.

It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a signal to the PC, as indicated

by a green System Connection icon.

If this is the first time for installing the USB driver, a USB driver installation popup window appears on

the PC.

This window states that the panel has been detected by the PC as a USB-compliant device and the

PC is installing an appropriate USB driver to establish a proper communication to the panel.

This driver was installed on the PC during the installation of the latest NetLinx Studio and

TPDesign4 software application installations.

These applications should be installed prior to setting up a USB connection to the panel.

Windows

notes that the driver does not contain a Microsoft

digital signature.

5. Click Ye s when told that a digital signature was not found. This action accepts the installation of the new

AMX USB driver. The panel is now configured to communicate directly with the PC.

This process completes the association between driver and device. Each time the same touch panel

is connected to the computer, the driver is automatically loaded (using a unique name - example

USB LAN LINK #1, #2). Each time a different touch panel is connected to the computer, the

previous procedures will need to be repeated.

6. Navigate back to the System Settings page.

If the panel is already powered, continue with step 3.

The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before

connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.
