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 59.

    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 63: 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.
