Configuring Communications

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 25.

2.Navigate back to the 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.

Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode

The panel requires you establish the type of connection you want made between it and your master.

In the Protected Setup page:

1.Select System Settings.

2.Select Type to toggle between the Master Connection Types USB and Ethernet.

A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master).

A Wireless Ethernet connection involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via a wireless connection to the network.

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.
