2. Locate the Wireless Security menu (FIG. 21).
3. Press the Static WEP button to open the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 22).
4. Press the SSID field. From the Network Name (SSID) keyboard, enter the SSID name used by the
target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive), and press Done when finished.
The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the device
will attempt to connect to the first available WAP.
One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arises because of an
improperly entered SSID. The same case must be maintained when entering this information.
ABC is not the same as Abc.
The alpha-numeric string is AMX by default, but can later be changed to any 32-character
entry. This string must be duplicated within the Network Name (SSID) field on the WAP. As an
example, if the SSID is MINISTRY, this word and the case within must match both the
Network Name (SSID) field on the touch panel’s Network Name SSID field and on the WAP’s
Basic Wireless Configuration page.
5. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 22) until it reads either 64 Bit Key Size or 128 Bit Key Size.
The 64/128 selection reflects the bit-level of encryption security. This WEP encryption level must
match the encryption level being used on the WAP.

WEP will not work unless the same Default Key is set on both the panel and the
Wireless Access Point. For example: if the Wireless Access Point has been set to
default key 4 (which was 01:02:03:04:05), the panel’s key 4 must be set to
01:02:03:04:05.
