AMX MVP-7500/8400 manual Configure the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings

Configuring Communications

Step 1: Configure the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings

The first step to successfully setting up your internal wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on the Wireless Settings page. The section configures the communication parameters from the MVP panel to the web.

Wireless communication using a DHCP Address

In the Protected Setup page:

1.Select Wireless Settings. Wireless communication is set within the IP Settings section of this page (FIG. 15).

2.Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP. This action causes all fields in the IP Settings section (other than Host Name) to be greyed-out.

Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.

DHCP will register the unique MAC Address (factory assigned) on the panel and once the communication setup process is complete, assign IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway values from the DHCP Server.

3.Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.

4.Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.

5.Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.

This information can be found in either the Workspace - System name > Define Device section of your code (that defines the properties for your panel), or in the Device Addressing/Network Addresses section of the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog.

6.Setup the security and communication parameters between the wireless card and the target WAP by configuring the Wireless Settings section on this page. Refer to Step 2: Configure the Card’s Wireless Security Settings section on page 23 for detailed procedures to setup either a secure or unsecure connection.

Wireless communication using a Static IP Address

In the Protected Setup page:

1.Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page. Wireless communication is set within the IP Settings section of this page (FIG. 15).

Check with your System Administrator for a pre-reserved Static IP Address assigned to the panel. This address must be obtained before Static assignment of the panel continues.
