Common Application
The MXT-701 is intended for boardrooms, conference rooms, or auditoriums where a 
panoramic control surface is needed to provide access to multiple functions 
simultaneously while remaining elegantly unobtrusive. In residences, it is perfect for 
kitchens, home theaters, or home offices where the panoramic control surface can be 
used to manage systems throughout the house.
Features

applications (apps) within the control environment.
• Simplified Enterprise Touch Panel Updates – Deploy and update touch panel 
files from a network URL for simplified company-wide updates.
• Latest Communication Technologies – Supports Near Field Communication™ 
(NFC) - short-range wireless technologies that deliver peer-to-peer 
communication by 'sharing, pairing and transaction' between RF devices like 
exchanging data/identities.
• Enhanced Usability – HD video streaming.
• Perfect From Any Angle – Includes In-Plane Switching (IPS), the latest 
technology in popular tablet/mobile devices that delivers the widest viewing 
angles and the most accurate color reproduction on the market.
Product Specifications 
Panel Connectors and Wiring
Any USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard, etc.) may be connected to one of the two 
USB ports on the rear of the device (FIG. 2). Updates to the device’s firmware are also 
made via the USB ports
.
Power via Power Over Ethernet
Power for the MXT-701 is supplied via Power Over Ethernet (PoE), utilizing an AMX-
certified, capacitive touch-compliant PoE injector such as the PS-POE-AT High Power 
PoE Injector (FG423-81) or equivalent PoE device. If using a PoE injector, the PoE 
injector should be installed between the MXT-701 and the incoming Ethernet cable, 
and connected to the RJ45 port on the cable attached to the device (FIG. 3)
.
Ethernet Cable Installation and Modification
In installations where you wish to conceal the Ethernet cable, a hole at least 1.00” 
(2.54 cm) in diameter is required in the surface to allow passage of the female RJ45 
connector (FIG. 3). If using a smaller hole is unavoidable, you will need to disconnect 
the Ethernet cable (ECA5968-05) from the device.
 
NOTE: The minimum diameter hole through which the Ethernet cable may pass is 
0.50" (1.27 cm).
