Configuring Communication

3.Press the Static WEP button to open the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 26).

Required Information:

- SSID (Network Name used by the Target WAP) - Encryption Method

- Passphrase

- WEP Key assignment - Authentication Method

FIG. 26 Wireless Settings page - Static WEP security method

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 TECHPUBS, 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. 26) 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.

6.Toggle the Default Key field to choose a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches what will be used on the target. This value MUST MATCH on both devices.

These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.

7.With the proper WEP Key value displayed, press the Generate button to launch the WEP Passphrase keyboard.

If the target WAP is to generate the Current Key, do not press the Generate button. Instead, continue with Step 13.
