AMX Touch Panel Connection Status

I’ve often been confused with the AMX setup pages connection status. It seems logical that it would be a simple boolean, but it has 12 states. Hmmm….
To figure out what the 12 states are, you have to dig further down. If you open up the panel’s “system page template” and view the __setup page, you’ll find all that you’re looking for.
The first clue is viewing the states of the Connection Status level code. The text value for each state is “Connected To System” for all states except 1, 8, and 9. This tells us the quasi-boolean value we were looking for (2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11,12=Connected and 1,8,9=Not Connected).
Next look at the states of the Encryption variable text code. The text values give us the various states of encryption: No Encryption, Authenticated, Encrypted, Authentication Failed, and Invalid Access Rights.
Here is a screen capture that I took listing the various states. It makes it a bit more clear.
