Configuring Communication

2. Connect the terminal end of the 12 VDC-compliant power supply cable to the power connector on the
rear/side of the touch panel and then apply power.
3. After the panel powers-up, press and hold the grey Front Setup Access button (for 3 seconds) to continue
with the setup process and proceed to the Setup page.
4. Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page
(FIG. 73).
5. Toggle the blue Type field (from the Master Connection section) until the choice cycles to USB. Refer to
the System Settings Page section on page 147 for more information about the fields on this page.
6. Press the Back button on the touch panel to return to the Protected Setup page.
7. Press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that the
panel’s connection type must be set to USB prior to rebooting the panel and prior to inserting the USB
connector.
8. ONLY AFTER the unit displays the first panel page, THEN insert the mini-USB connector into the
Program Port on the panel. It may take a minute for the panel to detect the new connection and send a
signal to the PC (indicated by a green System Connection icon). If this is your first time installing the
USB driver, a USB driver installation popup window (FIG. 74) then appears on the screen.
 This window notifies you that the panel has been detected by the PC as a USB-compliant device
and the PC is installing an appropriate USB driver to establish a proper communication to the
panel.
 The driver does not contain a Microsoft
®
digital signature and Windows
®
then informs you of such.
9. Click Yes when told that a digital signature was not found. This action accepts the installation of the new
USB driver. The panel is now configured to communicate directly with the PC.
 This process completes the association between driver and device.
Each time the same touch panel is connected to the computer the driver is automatically
loaded (using a unique name - example USB LAN LINK #1, #2).
Each time a different touch panel is connected to the computer, the previous procedures will
need to be repeated.
If the panel is already powered, continue with steps 3. The panel MUST be powered
and configured for USB communication before connecting the mini-USB connector to
the panel’s Program Port.
