NXA-USBCC G4 USB Computer Control Stick (MAC/PC)
Introduction
The newest AMX Touch Panels (Modero), TPI/4 Touch Panel Interfaces,
and TPDesign4 software now come Computer Control ready. In
combination with the NXA-USBCC (FG070-602), this innovative application
allows the user to connect any computer to the control network. Simply plug
in the USBCC stick into any computer to experience complete access to
control your computer directly through an AMX Touch Panel. For more
information, refer to the on-line literature at www.amx.com.
The USB Control Stick contains everything that you need to implement
Computer Control functionality including:
• The amxCC server application
• The configCC configuration utility
• NetLinx cc-GuestPC Code Module
• Sample Code and Programming/Configuration Pages
Specifications
Note: G4 Computer Control has been modified to address security issues
identified in conjunction with Windows XP Service Pack 2 and the
placement of the application within the Windows Startup group.
• This modification includes a new command line argument in the form
of /wait=X (where Xrefers to a number of seconds (with a valid range
between 5 to 120 seconds) used to delay the G4 Control Control
application’s startup. An argument outside of this range will default the
wait to 20 seconds.
• This modification must be used to ensure proper application startup
when placed within the Windows Startup group.
The addition of this argument to the G4 Computer Control shortcut (FIG. 2)
(found within the Startup group) delays the execution of the application for
the specified amount of time, ensuring that G4CC is capable of sending it's
initialization to known Masters after Windows XP has completed its startup
procedures after which communication is then allowed.

1. Connect the computer to an Ethernet Network that can communicate with
the NetLinx Control System (FIG. 3).
