Wireless Security - Static WEP Settings
SSID (Service Set Identifier):
WEP 64 / WEP 128:
Generate (Passphrase):
Default Key:
10" Modero Touch Panels
The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and then assigned to all
panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.
• This is required by the WAP before the panel is permitted to join the
wireless network.
• 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.
• Use the on-screen keyboard's Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored SSID information.
Cycles through the available encryption options: 64 Bit Key Size or
128 Bit Key Size.
Wired Equivalent Privacy is an 802.11 security protocol for wireless networks.
The WEP encryption method is designed to provide the "equivalent" security
available as in wireline networks.
• WEP64 enables WEP encryption using a 64 Bit Key Size. In this case all
packets will be transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default
WEP Key.
• WEP128 enables WEP encryption using a 128 Bit Key Size. 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.
Pressing the Generate button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows
you to enter a passphrase and then AUTOMATICALLY generate all four WEP
keys which are compatible only among Modero panels.
• Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key
generation formula. Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical
keys when done on any Modero because they all use the same
Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.
• Take these WEP keys and enter them into the target WAP. When also
working with multiple panels, these WEP Keys (identical across all Modero
panels) must be entered manually into the target WAP.
• Once all panels have been setup in this way, these WEP keys can then be
entered into the associated Wireless Access Point for ease of installation.
• The Passphrase generator is unique to Modero panels. The Key generator
on these Modero panels are specific and do not generate the same keys as
other external non-AMX wireless devices.
- Example: If you enter the word apple into the Passphrase generator on a
3rd-party Wireless Access Point, it comes back with 1a:2b:3c:4d:etc.
Entering the same apple in the Passphrase generator of any
Modero panel generates a different key: a1:b2:c3:d4:etc.
Only AMX Modero panels generate the same Current Key by using
a unique Passphrase key generation technology.
A Current Key string, when generated anywhere else, will not match
those created on the Modero panels.
Note: The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key
generation formula. The passphrase generator is case sensitive.
Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers in order to select a
WEP key to use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the
corresponding Current Key is displayed. Each of these corresponds to a
WEP key.
• This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to
re-enter that networks' WEP key.
• It is also sometimes used to set up a rotating key schedule to provide an
extra layer of security.
