AMX NXD/NXT-1700VG, NXD/NXT-1500VG manual Confirming the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC

Configuring Communication

For Windows XP machines the setup program asks if you would like to create a restore point. It is always a good idea to create restore points prior to installing new software.

Click the Next button when done.

9.At the end of the installation, press the Finish button.

Step 2: Confirming 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 USBLAN driver becomes associated with it (panel specific). 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 your machine.

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

The panel MUST be powered and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to the panel’s Program Port.

2.Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on the rear/side of the touch panel and then apply power.

3.After the panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (for 3 seconds) to continue with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.

4.Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page (FIG. 74).
