AMX MVP-7500/8400 manual Wap Mac

Setup Pages

Connection Utility Page (Cont.)

Connection Status icon:

The icon in the upper-right corner of each Setup page shows online/offline state of the panel to the master.

•Bright red - disconnected

•Bright green - connected. Blinks when a blink message is received to dark green every 5 seconds for half a second then go back to bright green.

•Bright yellow - panel missed a blink message from the master. It will remain yellow for 3 missed blink messages and then turn red. It will return to green when a blink message is received.

Note: a Lock appears on the icon if the panel is connected to a secured NetLinx Master.

Connection Information

Master IP	The IP Address for the connected master.
Panel IP	The IP Address for the panel.
Wireless Information
WAP MAC	The MAC Address for the WAP currently in use.
	If the MAC Address changes, it means the panel has switched/roamed to a
	different access point. This can be used to determine coverage for each access
	point and help isolate "brown" areas where coverage is minimal or non-existent,
	and thus require another access installed.
SSID	Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
Channel	The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read -only).
Signal Level Value	The value of the outgoing signal in dBm.
(MVP-7500)
Data Rate (MVP-8400)	The data rate (in Mbps) at which the panel is currently communicating with the
	target WAP.
	Note: Data rates for 802.11b communication are: 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
Signal Level (MVP-7500)	A bar display showing the current signal strength.
Link Quality (MVP-8400)	Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to the Wireless Access
	Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good,
	Very Good, and Excellent).
	• Even when link quality is at its lowest you still have a connection, and the
	ability to transmit and receive data, even if at lower speeds.
	Note: “Link Quality” and “Signal Strength” are applicable to RF connections
	only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to
	communicate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
Signal Strength	This indicator displays a description of the signal strength from the Wireless
(MVP-8400)	Access Point connection in real time (None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and
	Excellent).
	SNR (Signal Noise Ratio) is a measure of the relative strength of a wireless RF
	connection. Given this value and the link quality above, you can determine the
	noise level component of the SNR. For example, if signal strength is high but
	the link quality is low, then the cause of the link degradation is noise. However,
	if signal strength is low and link quality is low the cause would simply be signal
	strength.
Connection Statistics
Query Messages Sent	The number of messages sent from the panel to the master.
Responses Received	The number of responses the panel has received from the master.
Responses Missed	The number of expected responses from the master to the panel missed.
