Quick Start Guide
MVP-8400i Modero Wireless Touch Panel w/Duplex Intercom
Overview
The AMX MVP-8400i panel (FG5965-04) uses an internal wireless compact
flash card to communicate with a NetLinx Master via a standard 802.11g
Wireless Access Point. Panel to panel communication is enabled via a full
duplex VoIP intercom interface. The MVP-8400i utilizes a 8.4" Color Active LCD
to display a 800 x 600 pixel image using over 256 K colors, and features
programmable firmware that can be upgraded via either the wireless card or the
mini-USB port. The MVP-8400i 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-8400i Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/
reference guide, available on-line at www.amx.com.
Specifications
Connections and Wiring
The PS4.4 Power Supply (with barrel connector) provides power to the
MVP-8400i 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-8400i and then
to any other batteries inserted into the docking station’s battery charging
compartments.
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-8400i 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-8400i 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-8400i 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-8400i Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/reference
guide for configuring the wireless card for unsecured access to the WAP.

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-8400i Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels operation/reference
guide for manually entering the SSID information.
