Page 63: Configuring Communication
Configuring Communication Configuring Communication Overview Communication between the Modero panel and the Master consists of using either ETHERNET (DHCP, Static IP) or ICSNet. Ethernet communication can be achieved through either a direct connection or through the use of the optional NXA-WC80211b wireless interface card. If you are currently using a Static IP Address, continue with the IP Settings section - Configuring a Static IP Address over Ethernet section on page 63.
Page 64 Configuring Communication FIG. 55 Protected Setup page Press the on-screen Reboot button to restart the panel and incorporate any changes. Before continuing, open NetLinx Studio 2.4. This program assists in developing a System Number, Master IP/URL, and Master Port number. Refer to your NetLinx Master’s instruction manuals for more information.
Page 65: Master Connection - Using Icsnet
Configuring Communication Master Connection - Using ICSNet Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware. Before beginning: Verify that an ICSNet cable is connected from either the rear (NXT model) or side (NXD model) of the panel to the NetLinx Master and from the Master to an ICSNet port. Verify that the NetLinx Master is receiving power and is turned On.
Page 66: Secondary Connection Page - Wireless Access Overview
Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXA- WC80211b AMX Wireless Interface Card (FG2255-02) communicating to the Wireless Access Point (WAP)). In determining the Ethernet method of communication, the panel will always default first to the direct Ethernet communication.
Page 67: Configuring A Wireless Access Connection
Configuring Communication Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Security is a method by which WLANs protect wireless data streams. A data stream encrypted with WEP can still be intercepted or eavesdropped upon, but the encryption makes the data unintelligible to the interloper. The strength of WEP is measured by the length of the key used to encrypt the data.

Configuring Communication Do not alter any of these remaining greyed-out 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.

Page 72: Configuring A Wired Ethernet Connection
Configuring Communication This process begins with setting up a common password within the panels and then associating that password with a 128-bit key on the Wireless Access Point. Rather than replicating the long key on all wireless Modero panels and possibly creating errors in the replication, a less-complex string can be used to ensure security by associating the password with the key on the Wireless Access Point.
