MVP-8400i Modero Viewpoint Wireless Touch Panels
Enter a unique name to the panel for DNS look-up.
This unique address identifies the wireless Ethernet card in the panel
(read-only).
When enabled, the device is actively roaming on the channels 1, 6, and 11. By
default, Active Roaming is disabled.
Of all the frequency channels that are assigned for wireless, only three are
non-overlapping frequencies that do not interfere with each other.
Non-overlapping channels avoid the interference that can affect the signal.
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 22 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
network. Selecting any of the connection method buttons invokes the relevant
configuration 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 61 for further
details on these security options.
This button opens the Open (Clear Text) Settings page (FIG. 51 on page 62).
"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
communicate with the network.
• Refer to the following Wireless Security Page section on page 61 for further
details on these security options.
This button opens the Static WEP Settings page (FIG. 52 on page 63).
"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 61 for further details on
these security options.
This button opens the WPA-PSK Settings page (FIG. 53 on page 65).
"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 61 for details.
