Section 1: PoE Touch Panel Features
The Logical Solution
Thinklogical’s TPL-10 and TPL-7 Power-over-Ethernet Touch Panels are Linux based computers
with widescreen color PCAP (Projected CAPacitive) LCD displays with Gigabit Ethernet control and
feature a secured version of a Mozilla Firefox web browser operating in kiosk mode.
TPL-10 and TPL-7 Touch Panels support seamless integration with Thinklogical’s SMP solutions to
facilitate control of TLX, VX and MX Matrix Switches.
At turn-on, TPL auto-boots to a FIREFOX browser in kiosk mode to https://192.168.13.9:60090 (SMP
web-server default URL).
•Resolutions supported: 1280x800 (10”), 800x480 (7”)
•Time to boot: 1.5 minutes with network, 2.5 minutes without network
PoE Touch Panels are web-clients that display a customizable graphical user interface provided by an
SMP Appliance or SMP Module webserver. The Touch Panel operates on a closed, isolated network in
kiosk mode to limit access to only the SMP webserver. The system administrator can configure the SMP
so that each Touch Panel’s GUI has a unique set of sources, destinations and macros.

The 10-inch and 7-inch PoE Touch Panel Design
•Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) Projective Capacitive (PCAP) Touch Panel.
•i.MX 6 QUAD (Freescale) Processor platform, featuring an ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore 4 x CPU and
Gigabit Ethernet Controller
•TPL-10’s 10”display has 1280 x 800 resolution. TPL-7’s 7”display has 800 x 480 resolution.
•The 4.5”x 4.8”steel base with rubber feet adds desktop stability.
•Standard VESA mounts provided on the rear panel.
•High-impact aluminum enclosure and display housing. Friction-lock hinge for easy adjustment.
•Two USB-A ports provide external Keyboard and Mouse connections for initial configuration and
installation.
•Choice of Input Power: Power is applied when either the PoE cable is connected or the 12VDC
supply is plugged in.
➢The unit is powered by either PD class 4,
25.5W POE+ Ethernet via the GbE
connector or by +12V 25W external power
supply (PWRA-67) via the 2mm external
power connector. (If both sources are
present, the 12V external power supply will
power the unit.)
➢The unit connects to the network via a 10/100/1000 Ethernet POE+ RJ45, indicated by
Orange(1G), Green(100M), and Yellow(10M) LEDs. The center taps of the input pairs provide the
POE+ power, if available. The unit is categorized as a Type 2 (Class 4) POE+ PD (powered
device), meaning that its signature to the POE+ PSE (power sourcing equipment) will request
25.5W.
➢A lit green External Power LED on the bottom panel indicates that +12V is available, either from
the POE+ circuit or the external power supply.
•An illuminated button indicates operating system status with a bi-color LED (see pg. 9).

•A lit green External Power LED on the back panel indicates that +12V is available, either from the
POE+ circuit or the external power supply.
Note: Adding a power supply while the unit is running on Power-over-Ethernet may cause
an improper shut-down.
The OS Shut-down Switch
Operating System status is indicated by a bi-color LED/push-button.
•At power-on, a red LED indicates that the i.MX 6 processor is booting.
•Blue indicates normal operation.
•Pressing the button during operation initiates a controlled
software shut-down and the LED will turn red. The unit will remain
powered until it is physically disconnected from its power source. The
LED will then extinguish.
