Frequently Asked Questions - NT-ST-701 AMX

How do I log in to the N-Touch web interface?

Open a web browser and enter the device's IP address. The default username is 'admin' and the default password is 'password'. Refer to the Quick Start Guide for details.

What is the default IP address of the NT-ST-701?

The default IP mode is Auto IP or DHCP. You can find the IP address by checking your router's DHCP client list or using the AMX discovery tool. The device can also be set to a static IP.

How can I change the device name?

On the Settings page, under 'Device Name', enter a new name and click 'Save'. The name must be meaningful and user-friendly.

How do I create a custom touch panel?

Use the Panel Builder from the web interface. You can drag and drop buttons, sliders, text, images, and dialers. Refer to the Panel Builder section in the manual for step-by-step instructions.

Can I access the panel from my smartphone?

Yes. First, create a panel and assign it to a user on the Users page. Then download the SVSI Conductor Mobile app, log in with the same username, and the panel will appear. Ensure the N-Touch is on the same WiFi subnet.

How do I reset the device to factory defaults?

On the Settings page, click the 'Factory Restore' button. This will reset all settings to factory defaults, but does not affect the configuration immediately until a reboot.

What is the 'Panel Project' setting?

It allows you to select a saved panel from Panel Builder to be the home screen on the N-Touch display. You can also set it from within Panel Builder by choosing 'File > Save > Set project to Wall Controller'.

How do I adjust the screen brightness?

On the Settings page, use the 'Brightness' and 'Dimness' sliders. 'Sleep Delay Sec' sets the idle time before the screen dims. Enter 0 for never sleep.

Does the device support static IP?

Yes. On the Settings page under 'Network Setup', set IP Mode to 'STATIC', then enter the IP address, netmask, and gateway. A gateway address is required even if not present (e.g., 169.254.1.1).

How do I update the firmware?

Firmware updates are not described in this manual. Typically, you would download the latest firmware from the AMX website and upload it via the web interface. Check the 'Software' section for current versions.

USER MANUAL NT-ST-701 AMX

The N-Touch web interface allows you to configure basic settings (e.g., unit name, network settings, screen brightness, passwords, etc.), view logs and LLDP information, set up mobile access, as well as create custom touch-panel layouts for display on the N-Touch device's screen.

This guide takes you through all of the N-Touch configuration options, screen-by-screen. For ease of navigation, it is organized to directly reflect the graphical user interface (GUI).

N-Touch Interface Overview

The N-Touch interface is divided into five main pages:

• Settings (described in detail beginning on page 7)
• Logs (described on page 9)
  • LLDP (described on page 9)
• Users (described on page 10)
  • Panel Builder (described in detail beginning on page 11)

You can access the main pages by clicking on the links available at the top of any screen (see Figure 1).

NOTE: The Panel Builder page opens in a new webpage, therefore whichever page you launch it from remains accessible on a separate tab of your browser.

Access the main pages using these links.

FIG. 1 Accessing the Main Pages

Settings Page

The first screen to display after you log in is the Settings page (shown in Figure 2). Here you can perform important unit setup operations such as:

• Changing the device's name and home screen.
