NXD-1000Vi 10" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
This unique address identifies the Wireless Access Point (WAP) used by this
panel for wireless communication (read-only).
• Site Survey button: Launches the Site Survey page. The options on this page
allow you to detect ("sniff-out") all WAPs transmitting within range of the
panel's NXA-WC80211GCF Wi-Fi card.
Data displayed on the Site Survey page is categorized by:
- Network Name (SSID) - WAP names
- Channel (RF) - channels currently being used by the WAP
- Security Type - security protocol enabled on the WAP, if detectable
- Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
- MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
• Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 42 for more detailed
information on the SIte Survey page.
• When communicating with a NXA- WAP200G, enter the MAC Address
(BSSID) of the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the
WAP200G Instruction Manual for more information.
Sets the wireless security method to be used by the panel to connect to the net-
work. Selecting any of the connection method buttons invokes the relevant con-
figuration page, with options that allow you to define parameters specific to the
selected method of connection.
• Refer to the following Wireless Security Page section on page 83 for further
details on these security options.
This button opens the Open (Clear Text) Settings page (FIG. 74 on page 88).
"Open" security does not utilize any encryption methodology, but requires an
SSID (alpha-numeric) entry. This entry must match the Network Name (SSID)
entry of the target WAP so the panel knows what device it is using to communi-
cate with the network.
• Refer to the following Wireless Security Page section on page 83 for further
details on these security options.
This button opens the Static WEP Settings page (FIG. 75 on page 89).
"Static WEP" security requires that both a target WAP be identified and an
encryption method be implemented prior to establishing communication.
• Refer to the Wireless Security Page section on page 83 for further details on
these security options.
This button opens the WPA-PSK Settings page (FIG. 76 on page 91).
"WPA-PSK" security is designed for environments where is it desirable to use
WPA or WPA2, but an 802.1x authentication server is not available.
PSK connections are more secure than WEP and are simpler to configure since
they implement dynamic keys but share a key between the WAP and the panel
(client).
• Refer to the Wireless Security Page section on page 83 for details.
This button opens the EAP-PEAP Settings page (FIG. 80 on page 97).
"EAP-PEAP" security is designed for wireless environments where it is neces-
sary to securely transmit data over a wireless network.
• Refer to the Wireless Security Page section on page 83 for details.
