Configuring Communications

Configuring a Wireless Network Access

When working with a wireless card, the first step is to configure wireless communication parameters within the Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the card to communicate to a target WAP (such as the NXA-WAP200G), it is still necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master.

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.
