Sets a gateway value to the panel.
• Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between different
types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between for two or more networks that
use the same protocols.
Sets the host name of the panel.
• PRIMARY DNS sets the address of the primary DNS server being used by the
Modero panel for host name lookups.
- DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers
on a local network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by host and domain. The
DNS server maintains a database of host names for its' domain and their
corresponding IP Addresses.
• SECONDARY DNS sets the secondary DNS value to the panel.
Sets the address of the primary DNS server used by the panel for host name lookups.
Sets the secondary DNS value to the Modero panel.
Sets the unique name on the Internet to the panel for DNS look-up.
This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the wireless mini-PCI Ethernet card.
This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the Wireless Access Point (WAP).
• When communicating with a WAP200G enter the MAC Address (BSSID) of the
target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the WAP200G
Instruction Manual for more detailed information on the interaction between these
two product lines.
Sets the communication values for the NXA-PCI80211G mini-PCI wireless
communication card installed within the Modero panel.
Provides the Service Set Identifier (SSID), required by the panel, before it is permitted to
join the wireless network. The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and assigned to
all panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.
• It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any keyboard
character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wireless network.
• This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users on the
same network.
Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open System or Shared Key:
• An Open system network allows connections from any client without authenticating
whether that client has permission to associate with the network.
• A Shared key network requires the client to submit a key which is shared by the
network Wireless Access Point before it is given permission to associate with the
network. In this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.
• In both cases, even after association has taken place, if WEP encryption has also
been enabled then the client will still require the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt
packets in order to communicate successfully with the network.
Cycles through the available encryption options: Clear Text, WEP64, and WEP128. Wired
Equivalent Privacy is an 802.11 security protocol for wireless networks. The WEP
encryption method is designed to provide the "equivalent" security available in wireline
networks.
• Clear Text causes network packets to be sent out as unencrypted text.
• WEP64 enables WEP encryption at 64-bits. In this case all packets will be
transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• WEP128 enables WEP encryption at 128-bits. All packets are transmitted with their
contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the number of bits
required for the WEP encryption mode selected.
