MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station & CB-MVPWDS Rough-In Box
18 MVP-WDS Wall Docking Station for MVP Panels
Undock-<USER> String
When the MVP is removed from the docking station (undocked), the undock-<user> string is sent to the
NetLinx Master.
If the panel has no information within the User Access Passwords list, ’none’ is sent as a user.
If the undock button on the Protected Setup page is used, ’setup’ is sent as a user. This string
can be disabled from within the firmware setup pages.
When the MVP is placed on a docking station (docked), the dock string is sent to a target
Master. This string can be disabled from within the firmware setup pages.
Installing and Charging Batteries in the Docking Stations
The MVP-TDS and MVP-WDS Docking Stations recharge any installed MVP-BP batteries and provide
USB input device interaction to the connected MVP panel through the two USB connectors on the
docking stations. Both docking stations are firmware upgradeable and provide battery feedback
information to the MVP (battery status information is accessible through the MVP Batteries page).
Refer to the MVP-7500/8400 Operation/Reference Guide (available online at www.amx.com) for more
information on setting up a User Access username and password.
Installing MVP-BP Batteries Into the MVP-WDS
The MVP-WDS connects directly to a PSN4.4 power supply and provides both power and
communication to docked MVP panel. The MVP-WDS can charge batteries in its own battery
compartments, as well as those within the MVP panel.
1. Raise the rear connector cover to expose the battery compartments and connectors.
2. Slide the MVP-BP into the battery compartment (AMX label up) until the connector makes contact
with the battery pins at the end of the battery slot.
3. Repeat these steps for any additional MVP-BP batteries.
4. The status of the connected batteries are reflected on the panel’s Batteries page and the LEDs on the
docking station.
Once an MVP is connected to a docking station, charging is first applied to any
MVP-BP batteries found within the panel’s rear battery compartment and then to any
batteries inserted within the docking station.
The MVP-WDS top battery slot is Slot #1. The bottom battery slot is Slot #2.
The recessed white cradle activation button is adjacent to Slot #2.
A completely discharged battery requires 1 full charge cycle from within battery slot
#1.
