IP Settings:	Sets the IP communication values for the panel:
DHCP/STATIC
	Sets the panel to either DHCP or Static communication modes.
	• DHCP - a temporary IP Addresses is assigned to the panel by a DHCP
	server.
	• Static IP is a permanent IP Address assigned to the panel. If Static IP is
	selected, the other IP Settings fields are enabled (below).
IP Address
	Enter the secondary IP address for this panel.
Subnet Mask
	Enter the subnetwork address for this panel.
Gateway
	Enter the gateway address for this panel.
Host Name
	Enter the host name for this panel.
Primary DNS
	Enter the address of the primary DNS server used by this panel for host name
	lookups.
Secondary DNS
	Enter the secondary DNS address for this panel.
Domain	Enter a unique name to the panel for DNS look-up.
MAC Address
	This unique address identifies the wireless Ethernet card in the panel
	(read-only).
Active Roaming on	When enabled, the device is actively roaming on the channels 1, 6, and 11. By
Channels 1,6,11	default, Active Roaming is disabled.
	Of all the frequency channels that are assigned for wireless, only three are
	non-overlapping frequencies that do not interfere with each other.
	Non-overlapping channels avoid the interference that can affect the signal.
Access Point MAC	This unique address identifies the Wireless Access Point (WAP) used by this
Address:	panel for wireless communication (read-only).
	• Site Survey button: Launches the Site Survey page. The options on this
	page allow you to detect (“sniff-out”) all WAPs transmitting within range of the
	panel’s NXA-WC80211GCFWi-Fi card.
	Data displayed on the Site Survey page is categorized by:
	- Network Name (SSID) - WAP names
	- Channel (RF) - channels currently being used by the WAP
	- Security Type - security protocol enabled on the WAP, if detectable
	- Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
	- MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
	• Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 22 for more detailed
	information on the SIte Survey page.
	• When communicating with a NXA- WAP200G, enter the MAC Address
	(BSSID) of the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the
	WAP200G Instruction Manual for more information.
Roaming:	This button allows selection between three states: Disabled, Active, and
	Averaged:
	• Disabled - No roaming: this setting will not scan for SSIDs until the panel
	loses its connection to the WAP. It will then roam to first matching SSID it
	finds on any channel.
	• Active - Faster roaming. This setting actively scans channels 1, 6, and 11
	for matching IDs
	• Averaged - Slower roaming: designed for noisy wireless environments. This
	setting actively selects channels 1. 6, and 11 for matching SSIDs. When the
	site survey falls below -65dBm, the connection will roam to the nearest
	access point to a connection whose site survey is at least 10 dBm better than
	the previous one.
