If the panel detects more than 10 WAPs, the Up/Down arrows at the far right side of
the page become active (blue) and allow the user to scroll through the list of entries.
4.
Select a desired Access Point by touching the corresponding row. The up arrow and down arrow will be
grayed out if there are ten or less access points detected. If there are more, then they will be enabled as
appropriate so that the user can scroll through the list.
5.
With the desired WAP selected and highlighted, click the Connect button to be directed to the selected
security mode's Settings page with the SSID field filled in. You can then either Cancel the operation or
fill in any necessary information fields and then click Save.
If you select an Open, WEP, and WPA-PSK Access Point and then click Connect, you will be flipped to the
corresponding Settings page. For any other security mode, if you click Connect you will only return to the
previous page without any information being pre-filled out for you.

Step 2: Configure 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 802.11g card
to configure a common security configuration to a target WAP.
Once you have completed setting up the wireless card parameters, you must then
navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters
for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your Connection Status
icon will remain red (indicating that there is no current connection to a Master).

Configuring the Modero's wireless card for unsecured access to a WAP200G

Prior to beginning the configuration of the wireless settings, verify that the panel has
been upgraded to a wireless panel via the installation of the NXA-WC80211GCF
wireless CF card.
1.
Power-down the panel and follow the wireless card installation procedures outlined in the Installation and
Upgrade of the Internal NXT Components section on page 20 and Installation and Upgrade of the
Internal NXD Components section on page 24.
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.
5.
Press the Wireless Settings button (located on the lower-left) to open the Wireless Settings page.

Up arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Ascending order.
SSID (A to Z), Channel (1 to 14), Security (Unknown to WEP), Signal (None to Excellent). The

firmware considers the following to be the security order from least secure to most secure: Open,
WEP, WPA, WPA2, and Unknown.
Down arrow - indicates that the information is being sorted in a Descending order.
SSID (Z to A), Channel (11 to 6), Security (WEP to Unknown), Signal (Excellent to None)

In an Open security mode, when a target WAP is selected and the connect to, the SSID name of the
selected WAP is saved for the open security mode.
In a Static WEP security mode, when a WEP Access Point is selected and then connected to, the
user is then redirected back to the Static WEP security screen where the SSID field is already filled
out and the user is only required to enter in the remaining WEP key settings.
A similar process occurs for WPA-PSK access points. For any other case, the firmware switches
back to the previous page and security and connection parameters must be entered in as normal.
