I/O

The I/O port (available only on the MCP-108) responds to switch closures and voltage level (high/low) changes, or can be used for logic-level outputs. The +12 pin provides +12 V DC @ 200 mA and is designed as a power output for the PCS Power Current Sensors, VSS2 Video Sync Sensors (or equivalent). The GND connector is a common ground and is shared by all I/O ports. A common ground is shared with I/O ports 1 - 2.

FIG. 8 displays the I/O connector.

FIG. 8 I/O port

CAUTION: Improper wiring could damage your ControlPad. The CP-3008 ControlPad has the ground and power signals in swapped positions on the I/O port. If you are replacing a CP-3008 ControlPad with the MCP-108, you may need to make a wiring change in your I/O connector to avoid damaging the MCP-108.

• A contact closure between the GND and an I/O port is detected as a Push.
• When used for voltage inputs, the I/O port detects a low signal (0 - 1.5 V DC ) as a Push, and a high signal (3.5 - 5 V DC ) as a Release. (This I/O port uses 5V logic but can handle up to 12V without harm.)

The following table provides wiring requirements for the I/O port:

I/O Port Wiring Specifications

Signal Function
GND: Signal GND
1: Output
2: Output
+12 V: PWR

IR/Serial

You can connect up to two IR-controllable devices to the IR connectors to the Massio ControlPads. The MCP-106 features only one IR connector; the MCP-108 features two connectors.

The IR connectors support generating carriers up to 1.142 MHz. The IR connectors accept an IR Emitter (CC-NIRC) that mounts onto the device's IR window, or a mini-plug (CC-NSER) that connects to the device's control jack.

You can also connect a data (0 - 5 V _DC ) device.

CAUTION: Do NOT connect a power connector to either IR port. Doing so may damage the ControlPad.

IMPORTANT: The IR positive (+) and negative (-) connections are positioned from left to right. The signal connector is located on the left side of the IR connection while the ground connector is located on the right side.

LAN (RJ-45)

The LAN RJ-45 port provides 10/100 Mbps communication via Cat5/5e/6 network cable. The LAN port automatically negotiates the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode. The LAN port is best used for connecting to a network switch. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables. The port LEDs show communication activity, connection status, speeds, and mode information.

The LAN port also receives its power via the LAN port and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) when you connect this port to a PoE switch which conforms to the 802.3af standard. See the Applying Power section on page 15 for information on PoE setup.

NOTE: If Ethernet connectivity is lost on any ControlPad, and then re-established, connectivity may take some time to resume. You will be unable to program the ControlPad until it is fully online.

Applying Power

Applying power to Massio ControlPads and Keypads requires Cat5 cable and a PoE injector, such as the PS-POE-AF-TC (FG423-83) available from AMX, or a PoE-capable Ethernet switch which conforms to the 802.3af standard. The network must be connected through the PoE injector to send power to the ControlPad.

1. Connect the PoE injector to an AC outlet (\~100-240V) using a standard power cord.
2. Connect the switch category cable to the Data In port on the PoE injector (FIG. 12).

FIG. 12 Connecting to a PoE Injector

1. Using a separate category cable, connect the Data & Power Out port on the PoE injector to LAN Port on the ControlPad or keypad.

ID Pushbutton

Each Massio ControlPad and Keypad features a pinhole reset pushbutton located on the bottom of the device. FIG. 13 displays the location of the reset pushbutton on each ControlPad or keypad.

6-button ID pushbutton 8-button

FIG. 13 Location of the ID Pushbuttons on each ControlPad

You can use the ID pushbutton to perform the following procedures:

- Perform a factory reset of the ControlPad or Keypad: Press the ID pushbutton for approximately 10 seconds during the boot process. While pressing the ID pushbutton, disconnect and reconnect the cable from the LAN port on the rear panel of the ControlPad to reset the ControlPad's factory defaults. During factory reset, the backlight turns off for all buttons, but all buttons should be back online after 1-2 minutes. If you do not hold in the ID pushbutton for the full 10 seconds, the reset does not occur. (There is no soft reboot with the ID pushbutton, but you can perform a soft reboot from the web pages.)

On Massio ControlPads and Keypads, the LEDs on buttons 1 and 2 blink while you keep them pressed. Hold them until the LEDs begin blinking at double the rate (approximately 10 seconds.) Release the buttons and the keypad will reset.

NOTE: When you reset a ControlPad or Keypad, the device is restored to the factory default, so you will lose any scripts, IRL files, Device Interrogation settings, or RMS server information loaded on the system.

• Restore the factory image on the ControlPad or Keypad: Press the ID pushbutton for approximately 20 seconds or longer during the boot process. While pressing the ID pushbutton, disconnect and reconnect the cable from the LAN port on the rear panel of the device to restore the factory image firmware on the ControlPad.
• Toggle between a DHCP or static IP address. See the Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP section on page 26 for more information.

In place of using the ID pushbutton, you can press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously on the ControlPad or keypad to simulate the functions of the ID pushbutton. You must keep both buttons pressed for approximately 10 or 20 seconds as you would with the ID pushbutton to perform a factory reset or restore the factory firmware image on the device. You must also disconnect and reconnect the cable from the LAN port while pressing the buttons. FIG. 14 displays the locations of buttons 1 and 2 on each Massio device.

Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP

Massio ControlPads support both DHCP and static IP addresses. You can use a static IP address which you can set via a Telnet command (SET IP), or you can use the factory default static IP address (192.168.1.3). The default static IP address can be recalled at any time by resetting the unit to its factory default configuration.

You can toggle between the DHCP and Static IP modes by pressing the ID Pushbutton located on the bottom of the ControlPad. After the ControlPad boots, press and hold the ID Pushbutton for 10 seconds. While pressing the ID pushbutton, disconnect and reconnect the cable from the LAN port on the rear panel of the ControlPad to toggle between IP addressing modes.

NOTE: You must wait until the ControlPad is finished booting before toggling the IP address. Pressing the pushbutton while booting will cause the ControlPad to restore its factory default settings.

When you release the Pushbutton, the switcher toggles either from static to dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing or vice versa and remains in that mode until the you use ID Pushbutton to toggle the IP mode again or you perform a factory reset. The switcher automatically reboots to complete the process.

In place of using the ID pushbutton, you can press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously on the ControlPad to simulate the functions of the ID pushbutton. You must keep both buttons pressed for 10 seconds as you would with the ID pushbutton to toggle between IP address modes. See the ID Pushbutton section on page 16 for the button locations for each type of ControlPad.

The MKP-106 is configured for DHCP addressing by default. The keypad uses link local addressing as a backup in case the DHCP server is inaccessible. See the Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP section for information on setting a static IP address. Verify there is an active LAN connection on the controller's LAN port before beginning this procedure.

1. Using category cable, connect the LAN port on the keypad to your external network.
2. In NetLinx Studio, select the OnLine Tree tab. You should see the Keypad listed among the Unbound Devices.
3. Right-click the Keypad and select Network Bind/Unbind Device from the menu that appears. The Bind/Unbind Device dialog opens.
4. By default, the selected keypad appears in the Device to Bind/Unbind menu at the top of the dialog. If there is more than one Unbound device in the system, click the down arrow to select which device you want to bind.
5. Select the check box next to the Master to which you want to bind the keypad. If there is more than one Master in the system, check the specific Master to which you want to bind the keypad.
6. Click OK to save changes and close this dialog.
7. Select Refresh System (in the Online Tree context menu). The device should now appear in the Bound Devices folder.

Toggling Between IP Addressing Modes: DHCP and Static IP

Massio Keypads support both DHCP and static IP addresses. You can use a static IP address which you can set via a Telnet command (SET IP), or you can use the factory default static IP address (192.168.1.2).

With the keypad powered and booted up (or in ID Mode), you can toggle between the DHCP and Static IP modes by pressing and holding buttons 1 and 2. The LEDs on buttons 1 and 2 blink while you keep them pressed. Hold them until the LEDs begin blinking at double the rate (approximately 10 seconds), then release the buttons.

When you release the buttons, the keypad toggles either from static to dynamic (DHCP) IP addressing or vice versa and remains in that mode until the you use the buttons to toggle the IP mode again or you perform a factory reset. The keypad automatically reboots to complete the process.

NOTE: You must wait until the keypad is finished booting before toggling the IP address. Pressing the buttons while booting will cause the keypad to restore its factory default settings.

Upgrading Firmware

Overview

The basic process of upgrading firmware on Massio ControlPads involves downloading the latest firmware files from www.amx.com and using NetLinx Studio to transfer the files to a target ControlPad.

Use the OnLine Device tree in NetLinx Studio to view the firmware files currently loaded on the device. FIG. 34 shows an example OnLine Tree indicating an MCP-108:

FIG. 34 NetLinx Studio - Sample OnLine Tree
While the method of upgrading firmware files is the same for all Massio ControlPads, there are some specific points relative to the specific model and type of controller that must be noted:

Massio ControlPads - Firmware Files

Massio ControlPads contain two devices (Master and Device Controller), each of which require a separate firmware (*.kit) file.
The ControlPad firmware file is not the same as the Device Controller firmware file. These two devices must be kept at compatible firmware versions for proper operation. Therefore, both files should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the Integrated Controllers.

Massio ControlPads - Firmware Files
Master Firmware	The on-board Master Is listed first in the OnLine Tree as "00000 MCP-10x Master ()"For example, the Master in FIG. 34 above is "00000 - MCP-108 Master (v1.3.23)"."00000" represents Device ID 0, which is reserved for the Master.The number in parenthesis (in this case "v1.3.23") is the current Master firmware version.
Device Controller Firmware	The Device Controller Is listed next as "05001 MCP-10x ()"For example, the Device Controller In FIG. 34 above is "05001 - MCP-108 (v1.1.18)"."05001" represents Device ID 5001, which is reserved for the Device Control ports.The number In parenthesis (In this case "v1.1.18") is the current Device Controller firmware version.

Before You Start

1. Verify you have the latest version of the NetLinx Studio application installed on your PC.

NetLinx Studio is available to download from www.amx.com. Login to download the latest version. Alternatively, if it is already installed, use the Web Update option in NetLinx Studio's Help menu to obtain the latest version.

The default location for the NetLinx Studio application is Start > Programs > AMX Control Disc > NetLinx Studio > NetLinx Studio.

1. Verify that a LAN cable is connected from the controller to the LAN Hub.
2. Verify that the controller is powered on.
3. Connect to the controller via IP address.
4. Establish what version of firmware is currently loaded on the controller (see Verifying the Current Firmware Version below).

Verifying the Current Firmware Version

Use the OnLine Tree in NetLinx Studio (see FIG. 34 on page 28) to verify which version of each firmware file is currently installed.

NOTE: These steps assume that you have already established a connection with the target ControlPad (see the Initial Configuration section on page 23 for details).

1. In NetLinx Studio, click on the OnLine Tree tab (in the Workspace Bar) to view the devices on the System.
2. Click Display and select Refresh System from the context menu. This establishes a new connection to the System and populates the device tree with devices on that system.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog indicates active communication between the PC and the Central Controller, verify the Central Controller and associated devices are listed in the OnLine Tree.
4. Check the appropriate product page on www.amx.com for the latest Master and Device Controller firmware files for your device.

If necessary, follow the procedures outlined in the following sections to obtain these firmware (*.kit) files from www.amx.com and then transfer the new firmware files to the device.

Downloading the Latest Firmware Files from www.amx.com

NetLinx Controllers

Massio ControlPads require two firmware (*.kit) files: Master firmware and Device firmware. The Master firmware file is not the same as the Device firmware file.

Both files should be used when upgrading any firmware associated with the Integrated Controllers.

NOTE: The process of downloading and transferring firmware files is the same for all types of firmware. However, it is important that the firmware files are upgraded in specific following order for Massio ControlPads (see the Required Order of Firmware Updates section on page 29).

Master and Device Firmware Kit Files for Massio ControlPads

Below is a table outlining the Master and Device Firmware (*.kit) files used by Massio ControlPads:

Master and Device Firmware Files for Massio ControlPads
MCP-106/108	Master Firmware: SW2102_MCP_10x_vx_x_xxx.kit
	Device Firmware: SW2102_MCP_10x_Device_vx_xx_x.kit
	HTTP Firmware Kit: SW2102_MCP_10x_vx_x_xxx-http.kit

NOTE: The HTTP firmware kit enables you to upgrade firmware via an HTTP server. Upgrading a Massio ControlPad to firmware version 1.4 or higher requires the current firmware version on the ControlPad to be version 1.3.106 or higher. Follow the same steps in NetLinx Studio as you would with a typical firmware upgrade. Upgrading firmware via HTTP server is typically much faster than upgrading with the standard firmware kit files. See the Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio section on page 30 for more information.

Downloading Massio ControlPad Firmware Files on www.amx.com

Visit the appropriate product page on www.amx.com for the latest Master and Device Controller firmware (*.kit) files for your Massio ControlPad. Firmware file links are available along the right-side of the catalog page.

Firmware files are bundled in a ZIP file, along with a Readme.TXT file that provides details on this firmware release.

1. Accept the AMX Licensing Agreement.
2. Download the ZIP file and unzip the contents to a known location.

Required Order of Firmware Updates

The Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio instructions (below) apply equally to all types of firmware files. However, it is important that the firmware files are upgraded in the following order:

1. First, upgrade the Device firmware.
2. When that process is complete, upgrade the Master firmware.

Upgrading Firmware via NetLinx Studio

NOTE: These steps assume that you have already established a connection with the target ControlPad (IP connection is preferred.) See the Initial Configuration section on page 23 for details. You can also use the NetLinx Diagnostics application to upgrade firmware, if preferred.

e v e l s i n

Programming the Knob and LED Bargraph (MCP/MKP-108)

The knob on the MCP/MKP-108 has multiple programming functions and can be treated from a NetLinx programming perspective as 1 pushbutton plus Channel up and down. The button layout for the knob is indicated in FIG. 39.

Knob - Button 11

The knob is a pushbutton that provide an event on Channel #11, and can be programmed like any other button.

Knob - Buttons 12-13

The knob itself can be rotated clockwise and counterclockwise, and is intended to provide level control (for example volume or lighting levels).

• When rotated clockwise, the knob provides events on Channel #12.
• When rotated counter-clockwise, the knob provides events on Channel #13.
• When rotated (clockwise/counter-clockwise), the knob provides level events on Level #2.

Navigation Wheel - Level Control

In addition to generating button events, a rotation of the knob causes a level change on Level #2:

• Clockwise rotations increase the level
• Counter-clockwise rotations decrease the level.

Example code is provided below:

LEVEL_EVENT[dvMassio,2]
{
    volume = level.value
    SEND_STRING 0, "Volume is now: ', ITOA(volume)"
} 

Display Bargraph

The display bargraph consists of 7 LEDs and is controlled via Level #1. Sending a level will update the LEDs on the display bargraph. Example code is provided below:

SEND_LEVEL dvMassio,1,200 

Supported SEND\_LEVELs

MKP-108 keypads support a SEND_LEVEL on Level #1. This level is used to adjust the LED bargraph display on the keypad.

SEND_LEVELs
SEND_LEVEL Adjusts	the LED bargraph display on the keypad. Syntax: SEND_LEVEL,1,Variables: level = LED bargraph display (range = 0 - 255).

Supported SEND\_COMMANDs

Massio Keypads support a number of NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs, described in the following section. To use these commands, establish a Telnet session from the PC to the NetLinx master (see the Establishing a Terminal Connection via Telnet section on page 36 for more information.)

NOTE: All text is based on a Unicode index.

SEND_COMMANDs
Command Description
@BRT	Set Brightness level for all LEDs (pushbuttons and levels indicator bar) for both On and Off states. Syntax:@BRT-,,Variables:on brightness = LED On brightness; ranges from 0 (off) to 32 (max).off brightness = LED Off level brightness; ranges from 0 (off) to 32 (max).Example:SEND_COMMAND keypad, '@BRT-32,0'Sets the LEDs to max brightness in the On state (32), and minimum brightness (no illumination) in the Off state (0).

If more than 25 characters are sent for either friendly name or location, they will be truncated to a max of 25 characters.Neither the friendly name nor the location should contain a ":" character, as that character is used as a delimiter.NOTE: This command requires a reboot to enable new settings.

Terminal (Telnet) Commands

Telnet terminal communication can be accessed remotely via TCP/IP.

Establishing a Terminal Connection via Telnet

1. In your Windows task bar, go to Start > Run to open the Run dialog.
2. Type cmd in the Open field and click OK to open an instance of the Windows command interpreter - "Cmd.exe" (FIG 40):

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. C:\Users\Icarey>

FIG. 40 Windows command interpreter (Cmd.exe)

1. Type "telnet" followed by a space and the keypad's IP address:

>telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 

1. Press .

- Without a Telnet password set, a session will begin with a welcome banner similar to the following:

Welcome to MKP-108 v1.0.44 Copyright AMX LLC > 

- If a Telnet password is set, then user credentials are required:

Enter username:
Enter protected password:
Welcome to MKP-108 v1.0.44 Copyright AMX LLC
> 

Telnet User Name and Password

There are two Telnet commands that set the Telnet user name and password:

• Set Telnet Username (see page 41)
• Set Telnet Password (see page 41)

By default, both the user name and password are blank (empty string). Performing a factory reset on the device will return these values to that default. See the ID Pushbutton section on page 16 for details.

• Setting the User Name will have no effect if the password remains blank (empty string). That is, defining the user name alone will not result in Telnet prompting for user login.
• Setting the Password will cause Telnet to prompt for user login, whether the user name has been defined or not. If the user name has been defined, this value must be entered.

However, since the password can be set independently of the user name, it's possible to have a password defined, but the user name still at its default (blank, empty string).

In this case, do not enter anything for the user name when prompted. Simply press , which will then present the password prompt. Here, the defined password must be entered, in order to successfully open the Telnet session.

Additional Notes

• Both the Telnet user name and password are case-sensitive.
• Three consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to log in to Telnet will cause the Telnet window to close. Re-launching Telnet will again present the login prompt, with a fresh "batch" of login attempts.
• If Telnet login fails because of an incorrect user name, you will receive the "Invalid Password" message (as opposed to an "Invalid Username" message).

Setting a Telnet User Name and Password

To set a Telnet user name and password:

1. Establish a terminal connection via Telnet.
2. Type Set Telnet Username, and press . The program will prompt you to enter a new Telnet user name.
3. Enter a user name and press . The program will indicate that the user name is being stored.
4. Type Set Telnet Password, and press .

NOTE: Press twice when asked to enter the password to clear both the telnet user name and password.

1. The program will prompt you to enter a password. Enter a password and press .
2. The program will prompt you to re-enter the Telnet password. Re-enter the password and press . The program will indicate that the password is being stored.

Telnet Commands

The commands listed in the following table can be sent directly to the Keypad via a Telnet terminal session.

In your terminal program, type "Help" or a question mark ("?") and to access the Help Menu, and display the Program port commands described below:

Notes on Specific Telnet Clients

Telnet and terminal clients will have different behaviors in some situations. This section states some of the known anomalies.

Windows Client Programs

Anomalies occur when using a Windows™ client if you are not typing standard ASCII characters (i.e. using the keypad and the ALT key to enter decimal codes). Most programs will allow you to enter specific decimal codes by holding ALT and using keypad numbers.

For example, hold ALT, hit the keypad 1, then hit keypad 0, then release ALT. The standard line feed code is entered (decimal 10). Windows will perform an ANSI to OEM conversion on some codes entered this way because of the way Windows handles languages and code pages.

The following codes are known to be altered, but others may be affected depending on the computer's setup.

Characters 15, 21, 22, and any characters above 127.

This affects both Windows Telnet and Terminal programs.

Linux Telnet Client

The Linux Telnet client has three anomalies that are known at this time:

• A null (\00) character is sent after a carriage return.
• If an ALT 255 is entered, two 255 characters are sent (per the Telnet RAFT).

- If the code to go back to command mode is entered (ALT 29 which is ^]), the character is not sent, but Telnet command mode is entered.

Enabling/Disabling Telnet on the Keypad

By default, Telnet is enabled on all Massio keypads. The default Telnet port is 23.

You can change the Telnet port by using the SET TELNET PORT command (see page 41). Setting the Telnet port to zero disables Telnet access.

The SET TELNET PORT command requires a reboot to enable new settings.

NOTE: The only way to re-enable Telnet once it has been disabled is to reset the unit to the factory default firmware image. See the ID Pushbutton section on page 16 for details.
