How do I install the mTouch?

No software configuration or pairing is needed during installation.

Requirements :

The mTouch operates over a Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection and requires:
  • A Messana control system (mBox) already running on your local network.
  • A PoE switch on the same network or, if you do not have one, a PoE injector placed between your network and the mTouch. With PoE, a single Ethernet cable carries both data and power, so no separate power supply is needed. In most home installations, a PoE injector is commonly used instead of a PoE switch.

Steps:

  1. Connect the cable. Plug the Ethernet cable into the back of the mTouch.
  2. Wait for discovery. When powered on, the mTouch displays a system selection screen and searches the network for Messana systems.
  3. Tap your system. Once it appears in the list, tap to connect.
Once connected, see How do I set up the mTouch? to configure operating mode, display settings, and visible zones.

Auto-Reconnect:

The mTouch remembers the last system you connected to. After a reboot, it reconnects automatically.
