Configuring A Wireless Connection; Step 1: Configuring The Panel's Wireless Ip Settings; Wireless Communication Using A Dhcp Address; Wireless Communication Using A Static Ip Address - AMX NXD-1700VG Instruction Manual

Conf iguring a Wireless Connection
When working with a wireless card, the first step is to configure wireless communication parameters within the Wireless Settings
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 Settings page where
you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the target Master.
Step 1: Conf iguring 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 Wireless Settings 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 Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page. Wireless communication is
set within the IP Settings section of this page (FIG. 76).
4. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP. This action causes all f ields in the IP
Settings section (other than Host Name) to be disabled.
NOTE: 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 being communicated to the panel.
5. Press the optional Host Name field to open a Keyboard and enter the Host Name information.

7. Do not alter any of these remaining disabled 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.
NOTE: The information can be found in either the Workspace - System name > Def ine Device section of your code (that def ines
the properties for your panel), or in the Device Addressing/Network Addresses section of the Tools > NetLinx Diagnostics dialog.
8. Setup the security and communication parameters between the wireless card and the target WAP by configuring the Wireless
Settings section on this page. Refer to the Step 2: Conf iguring the Card's Wireless Security Settings section on page 81 for
detailed procedures to setup either a secure or insecure connection.

Wireless communication using a Static IP 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 Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page. Wireless communication is
set within the IP Settings section of this page (FIG. 76).
NOTE: Check with your System Administrator for a pre-reserved Static IP Address assigned to the panel. This address must be
obtained before Static assignment of the panel continues.
4. Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to Static. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway f ields then become user-editable (red).
5. Press the IP Address field to open a Keyboard and enter the Static IP Address (provided by your System Administrator).
6. Press Done after you are finished entering the IP information.
