Step 2: Conf iguring the Card's Wireless Security Settings
The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the Wireless Settings
page. The section configures both the communication and security parameters from the internal wireless card to the WAP. The
procedures outlined within the following sections use an NXA-WAP200G and the target WAP.
NOTE: Once you have completed setting up the wireless card parameters, you must then navigate to the System Settings page and
conf igure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are conf igured, your Connection Status icon
will remain red (indicating that there is no current connection to a Master).
Conf iguring the Modero's wireless card for unsecured access to a WAP200G
1. Power-down the Modero unit and follow the wireless card installation procedures (on NXD panels) outlined in the Step 2:
Install the 802.11g mini-PCI Wireless Card section on page 34.
2. Power-up the panel (this allows it to detect the card).
3. 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.
4. Enter 1988 into the Keypad's password field and press Done when finished.

7. From the Service Set Identif ier keyboard, enter the SSID name used by 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.
8. Toggle the Authentication field to an Open System (default).
Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel's SSID matches the WAP's SSID.

9. Toggle the Encryption field until it reads Clear Text (default).
NOTE: The remaining Wireless Settings f ields are then disabled and become read-only. All NXA-WAP200Gs are factory-shipped
as an unsecured WAP with no WEP encryption. The WAP200G initial Status page will display the status of both the WEP and WPA
(both disabled).
10. Verify the fields in the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to the Step 1: Conf iguring the Panel's Wireless
IP Settings section on page 80 for detailed information.
11. 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 conf igure the
connection to a target Master.
12. After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal Strength:
