6. Connect an Ethernet cable to the rear of the TPI/4. This cable provides
10/100 network connectivity between the unit and the NetLinx Master.
7. Cycle power to the unit. This cycling allows the unit to detect the new
configuration.
Note: Verify that all rear connectors are connected prior to the unit being
installed onto a surface or within an equipment rack. Once the TPI/4 has been
configured, connected, and installed properly; you can then provide power.
Note: The factory-shipped default resolution of the TPI/4 is 640x480@60Hz.
If your panel doesn’t match the initial TPI/4 output resolution, the following
procedures must be done to manually "sync-up" both device settings.
Step 2: Setting the Output Resolution on the TPI/4
1. Firmly press and hold the front TPI/4 RESOLUTION button. This
single press opens the Resolution Setup page (FIG. 3) on the panel.
Selections originate at a 640x480@60Hz display option and with every
consecutive single push of the RESOLUTION button, the TPI/4 resolution
increases to a maximum output of 1280x1024@60Hz.
2.
Firmly press the RESOLUTION button again to cycle through the
available resolution settings.
• Every consecutive button push cycles the output resolution to the next
highest available setting.
• A double-push of the RESOLUTION button adjusts the resolution to
previous setting. The following list describes the available pixel display
and refresh rates.
3. Press and hold-down firmly the RESOLUTION button to save the
resolution setting.
4. A message stating: "Please wait, loading new resolution..." appears to
indicate the new resolution is being saved. The Resolution Setup page
then displays and exits the resolution setup process.
• If using a CRT monitor, use the monitor’s video controls to stretch and
move the incoming video so that the borders of the desired resolution
pattern follow the edges of the screen without
disappearing.
• Continue with the following step to set the Touch Drivers.
Step 3: Setting the Touch Drivers
After matching the resolution between the TPI/4 and the touch panel, the next
step is to select the appropriate touch driver.
1.
Press the TOUCH button on the front of the TPI/4 to open the on-screen
Protected Setup page (FIG. 4). The Touch Input Driver is defaulted to
EloTouch.
2. Press the TOUCH button again to cycle through the available touch input
drivers until the correct driver appears within the on-screen Touch Input
Driver field. Choose NullTouch when using a CRT monitor.
3. Press the on-screen Reboot button to save your changes and reboot the
connected TPI/4.
Note: Verify the selected touch drivers match the connected touch panel.
Step 4: Calibrating the TPI/4
1. Firmly press the front CALIBRATE button on the TPI/4. This process
opens a calibration page that uses a series of cross-hairs coordinates to
calibrate the touch panel for use with the TPI/4.
2. Press the two on-screen cross-hairs to set the calibration points on the
touch panel.
3. If the calibration fails, repeat the above steps to select another driver and
recalibrate. NO calibration is necessary with a CRT monitor.
4. After the "Calibration Successful." message appears, press anywhere to
return to the Setup page.
5. Press the on-screen Reboot button (from the Protected Setup page) to
save any changes and reboot the connected TPI/4.
Step 5: TPI/4 Setup and System Connection
1. Press the TOUCH button on the front of the TPI/4 to open the on-screen
Protected Setup page (FIG. 4).
2. Press the Device Number field to open the on-screen Device Number
keypad and enter a value for the panel (default is 2275).
3. Press Done when finished and press the on-screen Reboot button to
cycle power to the panel.
4. Press the front panel TOUCH button to return to the Protected Setup
page.
5. Press the System Connection button to open the System Connection
page (FIG. 5).
6. Toggle the DHCP Static field to DHCP.
7. Toggle the ICSNET/Ethernet field to Ethernet.
8. Toggle the Mode field to URL.
9. Enter both the System Number and IP Address of the target Master.
10. Enter a valid username and/or password if the target Master is secured.
11. Press the Back button and then press the on-screen Reboot button to
save any changes and cycle power.
