The WPX Wall Panel X¶

The Green-GO WPX Wall Panel X provides direct access to up to 32 high quality, low latency channels or functions via a color TFT touchscreen; indicating the name, volume level, and status of a channel or function. With 3 associated multicolor push-buttons controlling each channel's screen features; Talk, Listen, Call, or Cue – depending on which function is selected. A multifunction encoder allows for easy volume adjustments and menu control.

Audio is presented through a XLR4M HANDSET/HEADSET connector (handset/headset not included). Powered exclusively via PoE through the network cable connected to the devices internal RJ45 port for flush installation.

A separately routable internal speaker allows creation of an independent audio mix for the public facing speaker(s) while allowing for private communication via a handset or headset.

What's in the box?¶

The Green-GO WPX wall panel X comes with the following package contents:

• 1 x Green-GO WPX wall panel X
• 1 x Printed quickstart guide

Device overview¶

Front panel¶

3 Multicolor Buttons

The three multicolor Buttons are primarily used to open a channel for voice communication or to control a function. As a secondary function, the multicolor buttons serve as a status indicator with their back-light.

1 TFT Touchscreen

Status information on channels or functions is presented to the user in a clear and compact manner on the full-color TFT touchscreen. The touchscreen provides easy access to a bank of six freely configurable channels or functions.

1 Multifunction Encoder

The multifunction Encoder allows for rotation and clicks and is mainly used to navigate the setup menu or control specific functions like volume control.

1 Front Speaker

The WPX wall panel X comes with an internal 2-watt loudspeaker as separately routable hardware output. Additionally, an external speaker can be connected to the same hardware output.

1 Neutrik XLR4-Male Headset Connector

It is possible to connect any headset to the XLR4 male connector. The built-in amplifier supports an impedance range from 32 Ω to 600 Ω.

Internal connectors¶

External Speaker(s)

It's possible to connect an external speaker (max. 8 Ω, 10 W) to the device's internal screw terminals. The internal and external speakers are connected to the same hardware output and will always work together.

1 PoE powered 10/100 Mbps RJ45 Connector

The internal 10/100 Mbps RJ45 connector serves as power input and connection to the local network.

The user interface¶

The Green-GO WPX wall panel X user interface is a simpler version of the MCX rack or MCX desktop user station. It features the same 2-watt built-in speaker, Encoder, and also shares the Touchscreen and multicolor Buttons, but in a different configuration.

Channel and function control¶

With only three multicolor Buttons, the WPX wall panel X only provides direct access to 3 Channels.

The three Buttons on the left of the display and their corresponding Touchscreen sections are directly linked and show channel information and status. The three touchscreen sections to the right mainly serve the purpose of function and communication control.

However, the WPX wall panel X user interface is freely configurable, and either channels or functions can be configured on any button or touchscreen section.

Channel display¶

When linked to a channel, the touchscreen section displays the following information:

Channel Status

The red X indicates that the Green-GO Engine can't reach any remote device for the configured channel target.

Channel ID

This shows the ID of the channel. Usually, a user has access to channels 1 through 32.

Display Name

The name or display name of the channel target (user or group).

Channel Color

The channel color is defined by the channel target (user or group).

Channel Volume

The current channel volume level.

Configuring the user interface¶

The WPX wall panel X user interface is highly configurable: Any function or channel can be assigned to any Button and Touchscreen section.

However, it is recommended to use the left Buttons and Touchscreen sections only for channels and use functions for communication control on the right.

The assignments can be configured in the setup menu Buttons.

The channel Flexlist¶

The Flexlist is a new UI concept introduced with Green-GO 5.

The function essentially enables the user to quickly change a channel's communication target to a set of 20 pre-defined destinations (users and groups). This allows comfortable and easy control over more channels on devices with limited or crammed user interfaces.

The Flexlist items can be added and configured either directly in a device's User Settings setup menu or with the help of the software.

The Flexlist is enabled on a per-channel basis by configuring a channel's Channel Mode to Flex. Doing so on multiple channels gives independent access to the same Flexlist.

Changing a channel's destination¶

Changing a channel's destination with the flex by touching the channel's Touchscreen section while the Screen Function is set to Listen.

This brings up the Flexlist selection menu that can be navigated by rotating the Encoder. A new channel destination is chosen by clicking the Encoder.

Functions¶

The WPX wall panel X comes with a set of useful default functions that can be assigned to any Button and its Touchscreen section.

General functions¶

Screen function switches¶

The MCX rack and MCXD desktop station can be operated in three modes that primarily dictate a Touchscreen section's function. The listed functions below all allow for switching between the three modes of operation: Listen, Call, and Cue.

Communication control¶

Volume control¶

These functions generally allow for volume control with the help of the Encoder.

The setup menu¶

The setup menu allows local access to almost all user and device configuration properties. All changes in the setup menu are done and stored locally on the device but can be easily synced back into the configuration file using the Green-GO Control software. These settings are also persistent on the device unless overwritten.

The setup menu is accessed by pressing in the multi-function Encoder which is used to navigate the menu lists:

• The Encoder rotation moves a selection or changes a selected value.
• A click of the Encoder enters submenus and allows to change values.
• A submenu can be exited either with the menu entry Exit or Cancel

Access to the setup menu can be restricted by configuring the security options of a configuration file or user with the help of the Green-GO Control software. In restrictive security configurations, the user may be asked to enter the Tech Pincode before access is given.
