IP Settings:

Sets the IP communication values for the touch panel and contains:

 

DHCP/STATIC

 

 

Sets the panel to either DHCP or Static communication modes.

 

 

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP Addresses to client

 

 

stations logging onto a TCP/IP network from a DHCP server.

 

 

Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP

 

 

network.

 

 

Note: If DHCP is selected, the following fields become read-only: IP Address,

 

 

Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain.

 

IP Address

 

 

Sets the secondary IP Address assigned to the panel.

 

Subnet Mask

 

 

Sets a subnetwork address to the panel.

 

 

Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages

 

 

into a particular network segment (subnet).

 

Gateway

 

 

Sets a gateway value to the panel.

 

 

Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between

 

 

different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between for two or

 

 

more networks that use the same protocols.

 

Host Name

 

 

Sets the host name of the panel.

 

 

• PRIMARY DNS sets the address of the primary DNS server being used by the

 

 

Modero panel for host name lookups.

 

 

- DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers

 

 

on a local network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by host and domain. The

 

 

DNS server maintains a database of host names for its’ domain and their

 

 

corresponding IP Addresses.

 

 

• SECONDARY DNS sets the secondary DNS value to the panel.

 

Primary DNS

 

 

Sets the address of the primary DNS server used by the panel for host name

 

 

lookups.

 

Secondary DNS

 

 

Sets the secondary DNS value to the Modero panel.

 

Domain

 

 

Sets the unique name on the Internet to the panel for DNS look-up.

 

MAC Address

 

 

This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the wireless Ethernet card.

 

 

 

 

Access Point MAC

This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the Wireless Access Point

 

Address:

(WAP).

 

 

Site Survey button: Clicking this button launches a page which allows a user

 

 

to "sniff-out" all transmitting Wireless Access Points within the detection

 

 

range of the internal NXA-WC80211GCF (this feature is not available with the

 

 

802.11b Wi-Fi card). The Site Survey page contains categories such as:

 

 

- Network Name (SSID) - Wireless Access Point names

 

 

- Channel (RF) - Channel currently being used by the WAP

 

 

(Wireless Access Point)

 

 

- Security Type - security protocol enabled on the WAP

 

 

(if detectable - such as WEP, OPEN and UNKNOWN)

 

 

- Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent

 

 

- MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point

 

 

• Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 61 for more detailed

 

 

information on the SIte Survey page.

 

 

• When communicating with a WAP200G enter the MAC Address (BSSID) of

 

 

the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the WAP200G

 

 

Instruction Manual for more detailed information on the interaction between

 

 

these two product lines.
