Configuring Communication

13.Write down this Current Key string value for later entry into your WAP’s WEP Key field (typically entered without colons) and into the communicating panel’s Current Key field (FIG. 60).

14.If you are entering a Current Key generated either by your target WAP or another Modero panel, within the WEP Keys section, touch the Key # button to launch the WEP Key # keyboard (FIG. 62), enter the characters and press Done when finished.

This Key value corresponds to the Default WEP Key number used on the Wireless Access

Point and selected in the Default Key field described in the previous step.

If your target Wireless Access Point does not support passphrase key generation and has previously been setup with a manually entered WEP KEY, you must manually enter that same WEP key on your panel.

15.Verify the fields within the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 60 for detailed information.

16.Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master.

17.After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal Strength:

The bargraphs have been replaced with descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent.

The signal strength field provides some descriptive text regarding the strength of the connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address displayed; configuration of your network could be required.

Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures.

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 63.

Those procedures walk you through assigning an SSID, selecting a WEP encryption level, and obtaining a Current Key string value for a specific WEP Key on a target panel.

2.Navigate back to the Wireless/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.
