Configuring Communication

17.Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master.

18.After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal Strength:

The descriptions are: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent.

The signal strength field provides some descriptive text regarding the strength of the connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address displayed; configuration of your network could be required.

Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures.

Configuring multiple wireless Moderos to communicate to a target WAP200G

1.For each communicating touch panel, complete all of the steps outlined within the previous Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G section on page 65.

2.Navigate back to the Wireless/Wireless Settings page on each panel.

3.Verify that all communicating Modero panels are using the same SSID, encryption level, Default Key #, and an identical Current Key value.

As an example, all panels should be set to Default Key #1 and be using aa:bb:cc..as the Current Key string value. This same Key value and Current Key string should be used on the target WAP.

4.Repeat steps 1 - 3 on each panel. Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for all communicating Modero panels.

Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

It is necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master. If you have previously established a wireless connection to the Internet you must still navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a Master).

If you have previously configured an internal wireless card for communication to the Internet, you do not need to configure the panel’s IP Settings fields and can skip the following Step 1.

Step1: Configure the Panel’s Wired IP Settings

There are only two available methods of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wireless (via an internal card) or Wired (direct Ethernet connection). If you are not using an internal wireless card, you can only configure the connection parameters through the System Settings page. This type of communication can be established either via either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address (typically provided by your System Administrator).
