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.
5. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.
6. Press Done after you are finished assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.
7. Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section. Once the panel
is rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after
power-up.
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.
