Configuring a Wireless Network Access

When working with a wireless card, the first step is to configure wireless communication parameters within the Secondary Connection 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 Connection 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 wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on the Secondary Connection page. The section configures the communication parameters from the Modero panel to the web.

Wireless communication using a DHCP Address

1.Press the Protected Setup button (located on the lower-left of the panel page) to open the Protected Setup page and display an on-screen keypad.

2.Enter 1988 into the Keypad’s password field and press Done when finished.

3.Press the Secondary Connection button (located on the lower-left) to open the Secondary Connection page. Wireless communication is set within the IP Settings section of this page (FIG. 56).

4.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.

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.

5.Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.
