Manually set SSID

In the Protected Setup page:

1.Select Wireless Settings.

2.Locate the Wireless Security section (FIG. 21).

FIG. 21 Wireless Settings page

You must first take down the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC Address information so you can later enter it into the appropriate WAP dialog fields in order to "sync-up" the secure connection. These values must be identically reproduced on the target WAP.

3.Press the Static WEP button to open the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 22).

Required Information:

- SSID (Network Name used by the Target WAP) - Encryption Method

- Passphrase

- WEP Key assignment - Authentication Method

FIG. 22 Wireless Settings page - Static WEP security method

4.Press the SSID field and from the Network Name (SSID) keyboard, enter the SSID name you are using on your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive), and press Done when finished.

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 this information. ABC is not the same as Abc.

The alpha-numeric string is by default AMX but can later be changed to any 32-character entry. This string must be duplicated within the Network Name (SSID) field on the WAP.
