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.

Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and

Modero panel-specific firmware. Verify you are using the latest versions of AMX’s

NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 programs.

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.
