Configuring A Wireless Network Access; Wireless Communication Using A Dhcp Address - AMX Modero Viewpoint MVP-5200i Operation/Reference Manual

Configuring Wireless Network Access
The first step in connecting the MVP-5200i to a wireless network is to configure the wireless
communication parameters within the device's Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the
card to communicate to a target WAP: the device must still be directed to communicate with the
correct Master. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page, which allows
configuration of the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the
target Master.
Step 1: Configure the Device's Wireless IP Settings
The first step to a successful setup of the internal wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on
the Wireless Settings page. This section configures the communication parameters from the MVP panel
to the web.

Wireless communication using a DHCP Address

In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select Wireless Settings. Wireless communication is set within the IP Settings section of this page
(FIG. 19).
FIG. 19 Wireless Settings page (IP Settings section)
2. Toggle the DHCP/Static field from the IP Settings section until the choice cycles to DHCP. This
action causes all fields in the IP Settings section, other than Host Name, to be greyed-out.
DHCP will register the unique factory-assigned MAC Address on the panel, and once
the communication setup process is complete, assign IP Address, Subnet Mask, and
Gateway values from the DHCP Server.
3. Press the optional Host Name field to open the Host Name keyboard and enter the host name
information.
4. Press Done after assigning the alpha-numeric string of the host name.
5. The remaining greyed-out fields in the IP Settings section cannot be altered. Once the panel is
rebooted, these values are obtained by the unit and displayed in the DNS fields after power-up.
