3. Press the Static WEP button to open the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 22).
4. Press the SSID field and from the Network Name (SSID) keyboard, enter the SSID name you are using on your
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 unit will attempt to
connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned SSID value.
One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arise because the SSID was not
entered properly. You must maintain the same case when entering this information. ABC is not the same as
Abc.
The alpha-numeric string is by default AMX 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 you use TECHPUBS as your SSID, you must match this word and the case within 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.
6. Toggle the Default Key field until the you’ve chosen a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches what you’ll be
using on your target WAP200G. 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 you are wanting to have your target WAP (other than an NXA-WAP200G) generate the Current Key - Do not
press the Generate button and continue with Step 13.
This keyboard allows you to enter a Passphrase (such as AMXPanel) and then AUTOMATICALLY generate a
WEP key which is compatible only among all Modero panels.
8. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG.23), enter a character string or word (such as AMXPanel)
and press Done when you have finished.

WEP will not work unless the same Default Key is set on both the panel and the
Wireless Access Point.
For example: if you have your Wireless Access Point set to default key 4 (which
was 01:02:03:04:05), you must set the panel’s key 4 to 01:02:03:04:05.
The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula.
Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical keys when done on any
Modero because they all use the same Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase
generator is case sensitive.
