You must first take the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC Address information and then 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.

7.Touch the Network Name (SSID) field and from the Service Set Identifier keyboard, enter the SSID name you will be using on your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive).

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 the SSID 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.

As an example, if you use TECHPUBS as your SSID, you must match this word and the case within both the Network Name (SSID) field on the touch panel’s Network Name SSID field and on the WAP’s Basic Wireless Configuration page.

8.Leave the Authentication field reading Open System (default).

Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID

matches the WAP’s SSID. An Open System is recommended for communication

between Modero panels and an NXA-WAP200G.
