Configuring Communication

Configuring Multiple Wireless Moderos To Communicate To a Target WAP200G

1.For each communicating touch panel, complete all of the steps outlined within the previous Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G section on page 48.

2.Navigate back to the Wireless Settings page on each panel.

3.Verify that all communicating Modero panels are using the same SSID, encryption level, Default Key #, and an identical Current Key value.

As an example, all panels should be set to Default Key #1 and be using aa:bb:cc..as the Current Key string value. This same Key value and Current Key string should be used on the target WAP.

4.Repeat steps 1 - 3 on each panel. Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for all communicating Modero panels.

Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode

The panel requires you establish the type of connection you want made between it and your master.

In the Protected Setup page:

1.Select System Settings.

2.Select Type to toggle between the Master Connection Types USB and Ethernet.

A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master).

A Wireless Ethernet connection involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via a wireless connection to the network.

It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become corrupted.

USB

NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP Address for communication to the panel. For a PC to establish a USB connection with a Modero panel, it must have the AMX USBLAN driver installed.

The AMX USBLAN driver is included with both NetLinx Studio2 and TPDesign4, and can also be downloaded as a stand-alone application from www.amx.com.
