    Ethernet Communication from the panel can be direct (using an Ethernet cable) or indirect (through the NXA-WC80211B/CF AMX Wireless Card communicating to a Wireless Access Point (WAP) such as the NXA-WAP200G). In determining the Ethernet method of communication, the panel will always default first to the direct Ethernet communication.
  • Page 64 The CV7 touch panels allow users to connect to a wireless network through their use of the optional AMX 802.11b wireless interface card. This internal card transmits data using the 802.11b signals at 2.4 GHz. Before beginning, there are several concepts that should be explained: Wireless Access Points are the cornerstone of any wireless network.
