Wireless Settings - Wireless Access Overview

DHCP

When choosing DHCP, a DHCP server must be accessible before the IP, subnet, and gateway fields are populated.
The parameters of the wireless card must be set before selecting the Master Connection Type. The Access Point
communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless CF card inside the device.
MVP touch panels connect to a wireless network through the use of a pre-installed AMX 802.11a/b/g wireless interface
card. This allows users to communicate via a wireless LAN. For a more detailed explanation of the new security and
encryption technology, refer to the Appendix B: Wireless Technology section on page 175.
For more information on utilizing the AMX Certificate Upload Utility in conjunction with the EAP security, refer to the
AMX Certificate Upload Utility section on page 181.

Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)

Certain frequencies in the 802.11a operational bands are available for restricted use because of the presence of radar
systems and other communications technologies on those bands. 802.11a technology is allowed to work on those
frequencies, but only if it implements an optional feature called Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS). DFS allows Wi-Fi
devices to avoid interference by automatically navigating out of the way of other users of the band. Because this can
result in connection loss while the network is moving to the new frequency, AMX has restricted the 5GHz operation at
this time to only those channels that are allowed without supporting DFS. While this restricts the number of usable
channels, it avoids the network complications that might be present when using DFS-restricted channels.
The following table shows the currently allowed channels for some of the most common regions in which the MVP-
9000i may be used. Verifying which channels are available in a particular frequency in your area is highly recommended.
