AMX NXT-1200V manual Confirming the Installation of the USB Driver on the PC

Configuring Communication

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. 53).

5.Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB. Refer to the System Settings Page section on page 118 for more information about the fields on this page.

ALL fields are then greyed-out and read-only, but still display any previous network information.

6.Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.

7.Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that the panel’s connection type must be set to USB prior to rebooting the panel and prior to inserting the USB connector.
