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 18 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.
Information/Configuration:	•	Mode - Displays the current Security Type selected via either the Simple
		or Enterprise options.
	•	Security Type - Displays whether the currently used security type is
		Simple or Enterprise.
	•	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 - 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: “Signal Level Value” and “Signal Level” 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 Level - This bar graph demonstrates the strength of the current
		signal.
Simple/Enterprise:	•	Opens either the Wireless Security: Simple Mode or the Wireless Security:
		Enterprise Mode windows.

Pressing the Simple or Enterprise buttons at the bottom of the Information/Configuration section open an appropriate Wireless Security window for Simple Mode or Enterprise Mode. Simple Mode is best used for smaller installations that use a single Master, such as for residences or smaller office environments. Enterprise Mode is intended for installations that use multiple Masters, where a wireless device may need to switch between multiple wireless access points connected to different Masters in a network.
