If the WAP’s SSID is hidden (not broadcast) it will not show up on the site survey screen but it can still be configured via the SSID field on the specified security mode screen.
Page 73: Step 2: Configure The Card's Wireless Security Settings
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.
Page 74 The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the unit will attempt to connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned SSID value.
Page 75: Configuring The Modero's Wireless Card For Secured Access To A Wap200G
One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arise because the SSID was not entered properly. You must maintain the same case when entering the SSID information. ABC is not the same as Abc. 10. Click Done when you’ve completed typing in the information. 11.

My Modero panel isn’t appearing in my Workspace window. My Modero panel can’t obtain a DHCP Address My NXT-BP battery pack is blinking when I check the battery life indicator.
Page 197 "USB Connecting" is displayed when the panel is trying to establish USB communication with the PC (either within the NetLinx Studio or TPDesign4 applications). • Remove the USB connector from the panel and close any AMX applications. • Reboot the panel.
Page 198 • The NXA-BASE/1 Battery base should be updated with the latest firmware (part of the Modero firmware KIT file) from www.amx.com. • The base can only charge the battery while the NXT panel is in Sleep Mode. If the panel parameters are set to their highest values, the priority for the power draw becomes the active panel functions and no power is routed to the base for charging.

Page 201: Appendix A
Appendix A Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These codes would be entered into the text field along with any other text. The following is a code list used for bargraphs: Bargraph Text Code Inputs Code...
Page 202: Text Area Input Masking
Appendix A Text Area Input Masking Text Area Input Masking can be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters but, with input masking, you could limit them to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits.
Page 203: Input Mask Ranges
Refer to the following Send Commands for more detailed information: • ^BIM page 150). • ^BMF ^BMF section on page 152). Input mask ranges These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is allowed per field.
Page 204: Input Mask Output Examples
Appendix A A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is applied, the behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's requirement. When working with masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any cursor movement including cursor keys, backspace, and delete.

Page 207: Appendix B - Wireless Technology
Appendix B - Wireless Technology Overview of Wireless Technology 802.11b/2.4 GHz and 802.11a/5 GHz are the two major WLAN standards and both operate using radio frequency (RF) technology. Together the two standards are together called Wi-Fi and operate in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. The 802.11b specification was the first to be finalized and reach the marketplace.
Page 208: Terminology
The certificate authority (CA) is a trusted external third party which "signs" or validates the certificate. When a certificate has been signed, it gains some cryptographic properties. AMX supports the following security certificates within three different formats: Typical certificate information can include the following items:...
Page 209 TKIP Short for Temporal Key Integration, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, message integrity check and re-keying mechanism, thus ensuring every data packet is sent with its own unique encryption key. Key mixing increases the complexity of decoding the keys by giving the hacker much less data that has been encrypted using any one key.
Page 210 Appendix B - Wireless Technology WPA2 Also know as IEEE 802.11i, is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks. The 802.11i scheme makes use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher; WEP and WPA use the RC4 stream cipher.
Page 211: Eap Authentication
EAP Authentication EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both a wired and wireless network environment. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a Radius server. Although there are currently over 40 different EAP methods defined, the current internal Modero 802.11g wireless card and accompanying firmware only support the following EAP methods (listed from simplest to most complex): EAP-LEAP (Cisco Light EAP)
