Quick Start Guide
MVP-7500 7.5" Modero ViewPoint Touch Panel
Overview
The AMX MVP-7500 panel (FG5965-01) uses an internal wireless compact flash
card to communicate with a NetLinx Master via a standard 802.11g Wireless
Access Point. The MVP-7500 utilizes a 7.5" Color Passive LCD to display a 640
x 480 pixel image using over 4000 colors, and features programmable firmware
that can be upgraded via either the wireless card or the mini-USB port.
The MVP-7500 also features nine programmable external pushbuttons and two
sets of programmable LEDs. On the 4 available IR channels, this panel utilizes
both AMX IR frequencies (38 KHz or 455 KHz) and 2 additional user-defined IR
libraries.
For detailed installation, configuration, programming, file transfer, and operating
instructions refer to the MVP-7500 Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels Operation/
Reference guide, available on-line at www.amx.com (see Related Documents).
Specifications
Connections and Wiring
The PS4.4 Power Supply (with barrel connector) provides power to the
MVP-7500 either directly (via the power connector located on the lower right-
side of the panel) or indirectly (by routing incoming power through the Docking
Station’s MVP Interface Connector).
• Once the MVP is connected to a docking station; charging priority is first
given to any MVP-BP battery packs found within the MVP-7500 and then to
any other batteries inserted into the docking station’s battery charging com-
partments.
Warning: Although firmware upgrades can be done over wireless Ethernet; it is
strongly recommended that firmware KIT files be transferred over a direct USB
connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery
power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file
system may become corrupted.

various features on the panel. Consult the MVP-7500 Modero ViewPoint Touch

Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings
The first step is to configure the wireless communication parameters, this only
configures the card to communicate to a target WAP, it is still necessary to tell
the panel which Master it should be communicating with; see Master
Connection.
Consult the MVP-7500 Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/reference
guide for setting the wireless communication using a static IP address.
Wireless Communication Using a DHCP Address
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Wireless Settings. Wireless communication is set within the IP
Settings section of this page.
2. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the
choice cycles to DHCP. This action causes all fields in the IP Settings
section (other than Host Name) to be greyed-out.
Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section.
Once the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and
displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.
Consult the MVP-7500 Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/reference
guide for setting a Host Name.
Configuring the Card’s Wireless Settings
This section configures both the communication and security parameters from
the internal wireless card to the WAP.
Once you have set up the wireless card parameters, you must configure the
communication parameters for the target Master; see Master Connection.
Consult the MVP-7500 Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/reference
guide for configuring the wireless card for unsecured access to the WAP.
Configuring the Wireless Card for Secured Access to the WAP
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Wireless Settings.
2. Enter the SSID information automatically by pressing the Site Survey
button.
3. Select a WEP secured WAP from within the Site Survey page, and press
the Connect button.
4. Write down the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC
Address information so you can later enter it into the appropriate WAP
dialog fields in order to "sync-up" the secure connection. These values
must be identically reproduced on the target WAP.
Consult the MVP-7500 Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/reference
guide for manually entering the SSID information.
Master Connection
The panel requires you establish the type of connection you want made
between it and your master. In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select System Settings

available connection modes:
4. Select the Master Port Number to open the keypad and change this
value. The default setting for the port is 1319.
