4.Press the red SSID field (FIG. 19) to display an on-screen Network Name (SSID) keyboard.

5.In this keyboard, enter the SSID name used on your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive).

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 the SSID information. ABC is not the same as Abc.

7.From the Open (Clear Text) Settings page (FIG. 19), press the Save button to incorporate your new information into the panel and begin the communication process.

9.Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the

System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master.

10.After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page’s RF Link Info section and verify the Link Quality and Signal Strength:

The descriptions are: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent (FIG. 17).

The signal strength field should provide 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.
