Calibrating the Mio R-4

Note: Due to the wireless nature of the ZigBee network, temporary interference may prevent a command from reaching the NetLinx master. If this happens while increasing volume, the master may receive the command to increase the volume but not the command to stop increasing it. Therefore, programmers should consider setting safeguards for volume control, either established volume limits or timeouts with the NetLinx master or more interactive adjustment from the Mio R-4 (i.e., direct volume control), to prevent issues with lost commands.

TPControl for AndroidTM - Install and Setup Instructions
The following is a guide to the installation and operation of the TPControl application for Android devices (by Touch Panel Control).

Overview

Our software solution comes in two parts: TPControl which is an application that runs on your portable device, and TPTransfer which is used to upload your AMX designs to a device with TPControl installed. Once you have installed TPTransfer successfully on your computer, you will notice that your edition of AMX TPDesign4 will now contain additional panel types for TPControl specific devices. This will enable you to build a new panel design or convert existing designs for use on the device. The TPTransfer application is then responsible for licensing of TPControl on your Android device and for the actual transfer of your TP4 design file to the TPControl enabled device. Current supported products include: - Apple iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch - Android devices TPControl is an application that can be installed on your Android device. This software enables the device to talk directly to an AMX NetLinx controller as if it were a native AMX touch panel and also facilitates communication with the TPTransfer software. Upon initial installation, a default panel file is installed to the device where you can preview functioning G4 controls much like on the AMX Modero series of touch panels. Customisation of designs is facilitated using AMX's TPDesign4 software. These can in turn be loaded onto your TPControl empowered device, which will communicate with an AMX NetLinx controller and operate seamlessly like any other native AMX system component.

Prerequisites

Microsoft Windows XP/Vista/7 AMX TPDesign4 must be installed and up to date Android device running v1.6 or later NOTE: certain features are not available prior to Android v2.0, and multitouch functionality may vary between devices TPTransfer v1.1.2.0 or later, available from www.touchpanelcontrol.com To enable uploads to your device, either a Trial or Full Licence is required, available from www.touchpanelcontrol.com An internet connection is required at the time of licence validation (performed once for each device registration) A WiFi connection on your device for TPTransfer updates and to connect to your AMX NetLinx master

Operation
Licensing 1. With TPTransfer running, from the initial loading page you will be presented with a screen providing three options. Firstly, select the "Tools" button and choose "Settings" from the dropdown list. 2. Ensure that the correct adapter has been selected in TPTransfer by choosing "Tools -> Settings -> Network". Multiple adapters can be selected at the same time.

NOTE: Your device must be configured to be connected to the same LAN and IP subnet as the TPTransfer computer. 3. Ensure that the Network adapter that you intend to use is selected and has a valid IP address that falls within the same subnet as your TPControl enabled device. 4. On your device, if you have not already, ensure that you have configured the devices Wi-Fi connection to be connected to the same LAN and IP subnet as the TPTransfer computer. 5. Start the TPControl application and wait for it to finish loading. The first load may take a moment or two as it prepares any default demonstration panel files. 6. If the "Auto Device Polling" option is enabled on the Network settings page in TPTransfer, then discovered TPControl devices will be listed automatcally. Alternately, click the "Find Devices" button in TPTransfer to discover TPControl devices on your network. You can also manually add a device by choosing the "Add Device" option, then specify the Host/IP address and Port (default 10700). 7. Initially your device will be listed including a blue icon embossed with a PLUS symbol, indicating it is not licenced. Click the "Get Licence" option against the device and TPTransfer will prompt for an email and token. If you already have a valid token, skip to the next step. Otherwise, obtain your token from our website by clicking either "Try" or "Buy", and following the checkout process. Ensure that you select the correct device type when requesting a licence e.g. an Smartphone licence will not operate on a Tablet device. 8. Ensure that you have a valid connection to the internet and select the "Submit" option to successfully complete application registration. Then, select the "Close" option to close the registration page.

Creating and Sending a panel design
1. Using TPDesign4 you can either create a new panel design from the included TPControl(TPC) panel types or you can load an existing design and choose "Save As Different Panel Type." to convert to Android/iPhone/iPad.
2. Once you have created a suitable TP4 file, close TPDesign4 or at least close the file you have open, and return to the TPTransfer application. 3. Against the device you wish to upload to, click the "Upload New" option and select the TP4 file that you just created. Alternately, you may drag-n-drop the TP4 file directly onto the device in TPTransfer, or between listed devices, then select the "Reupload" option.

Page 5 of 11

4. The system will now attempt to connect to your device and transfer of the TP4 file will begin. Progress is shown both in TPTransfer and on the device itself.
5. When the upload is completed, the device will process the file and then automatically load the new design. The first load of the design will take a few moments to complete while it preprocesses the design files (time taken depends on the size of the design). Subsequent restarts of TPControl will load much more quickly. 6. You should then see your design has been loaded onto the device and is ready to use provided you have configured your NetLinx parameters within the device "Settings". NOTE: To configure NetLinx connection parameters for Android devices, ensure TPControl is running, then select the MENU button on your device, followed by the Settings option. NOTE: TPTransfer will only connect to your device if TPControl is running. NOTE: TPControl does not require a connection to an AMX NetLinx Master to communicate with TPTransfer.

This is the connection that will be used to communicate to the NI Master when on a Local Network. Supports: IP address and Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Local Port This is the IP Port number on which the ICSP protocol communicates between the NI Master and TPControl. Default is port 1319. Keep Wifi Active When Enabled, TPControl will continue to keep a connection live with the NI Master when the device goes to sleep (assuming TPControl is running). Remote NI Master Remote Host The Remote Host field is used for entering the remote address of the NI Master. This is the connection that will be used to communicate to the NI Master when using a 3G connection. Supports: IP address and Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). Remote Port This is the IP Port number on which the ICSP protocol communicates between the NI Master and TPControl. When using a Remote connection this port will need to be available to access from outside the local network. It is advised to use a VPN connection, or lock down access to the port to the specified device only. Default is port 1319. Enable 3G When Enabled, TPControl will use the Remote NI Master settings when there is no Local Network available. Device Device ID This is the AMX Device ID that TPControl will use to identify itself with the NI Master. AMX programming events utilise this Device ID for communication to and from the NI Master and TP Control. Enable Auto-Lock When Enabled this will allow the Device to run the OS screen lock feature as set in General Settings on the device. If Enable AutoLock is set to Off the screen will stay active until the Power button is pressed. Battery life can be reduced significantly when this feature is set to Off.

Beep Volume Level Sets the level at which the volume for the Beep will be announced. When running TPControl, the device Hard Volume buttons will adjust the audible level independently of the Beep Volume Level, acting as a Master Volume. Version Version This is the current software version of TPControl running on the device. Token This is the Token that the device is registered to. Verify Device This option provides the ability for the device to update its licence information when changes have been applied at the TPC servers, and is independent of TPTransfer. For example, in the case of "rolling licences", this option can be used to update and extend the licence period for the device. When enabled, the function is performed once you select the "Back" option, and apply the changes by selecting "OK" (refer to "Applying the settings" for more information). The option is reset back to off after changes have been applied, but can be re-enabled at any time to repeat the verification process. NOTE: A connection to the internet is required in order to utilise this function. Passwords User passwords There are up to 4 user passwords that can be used within a TP4 file for protected Page Flip actions, and a 5th for system protected Page Flip actions. Define each password in this section. Project Inactivity Page Flip Time When a value is set, if a button has not been pressed within the specified time, TPControl will flip to the Inactivity page that has been defined within the properties of the AMX TPDesign4 TP4 file. Lock Rotation Enabled Prevents the device from rotating the project content based on the orientation of the device. Disabled Allows the project content to rotate based on the orientation of the device. Screen Resize Options provided here allow for the loaded TP4 project to be presented in the following modes: None No resizing of the original TP4 project is applied, and will be shown using the original aspect and resolution. Scale-to-fit (default on first install) The original TP4 file will be upsized or downsized, retaining the original aspect-ratio of the project. At least one dimension will be fully utilised when displayed on the device. Stretch-to-fit The original TP4 file will be upsized or downsized, independently for the height and width of the project i.e. the aspect ratio of the design may be affected/stretched as a result. The project will fill the entire display on the device when presented.

Known Issues
Devices The TPControl application has been developed and tested on a select range of Android devices. Over time, as the Android platform matures and our development continues, we expect that TPControl will be compatible across all relevant Android devices. TPControl Certain Fonts may not appear correctly, particularly when non-standard indexing methods are embedded in the font file. We have endeavoured to support most of the G3 and G4 commands used for control and manipulation of AMX touch panels. However, not all functions, nor all parameters for these commands may be supported. Over time, these will be further developed on to provide a truly seamless experience. Please notify us through the helpdesk if we have overlooked one of your favourites. TPDesign4/TPTransfer If you re-install TPDesign4 or apply an update that affects TPDesign4's G4 Support Files, and you can no longer see TPC template options in the panel type menu, you will need to re-run the TPTransfer XML patcher found in TPTransfer -> Tools -> Settings -> Language and updates -> Patch TPDesign4.
