Configuring Multiple Wireless Moderos To Communicate To A Target Wap200G; Configuring A Wired Ethernet Connection; Step 1: Configuring The Panel's Wired Ip Settings; Ip Settings Section - Configuring A Dhcp Address Over Ethernet - AMX NXD-1200VG Operation/Reference Manual

Configuring Communication
16.
Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button to both save
any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the System Settings page and
configure the connection to a target Master.
17.
After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal Strength:

The signal strength field provides some descriptive text regarding the strength of the
connection to a Wireless Access Point. If there is no signal or no IP Address
displayed; configuration of your network could be required.
Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures.

Configuring multiple wireless Moderos to communicate to a target WAP200G

1.
For each communicating touch panel, complete all of the steps outlined within the previous Configuring the
Modero's wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G section on page 89.

2.
Navigate back to the Wireless/Wireless Settings page on each panel.
3.
Verify that all communicating Modero panels are using the same SSID, encryption level, Default Key #, and an
identical Current Key value.

4.
Repeat steps 1 - 3 on each panel. Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for all communicating
Modero panels.

Configuring a Wired Ethernet Connection

It is necessary to tell the panel which Master it should be communicating with. This "pointing to a Master" is done
via the System Settings page where you configure the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information
assigned to the target Master. If you have previously established a wireless connection to the Internet you must still
navigate to the System Settings page and configure the communication parameters for the target Master. Until those
parameters are configured, your Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating there is no current connection to a
Master).


Step 1: Configuring the Panel's Wired IP Settings

There are only two available methods of communicating to a target Master over the Internet: Wireless (via an internal
card) or Wired (direct Ethernet connection). If you are not using an internal wireless card, you can only configure the
connection parameters through the System Settings page. This type of communication can be established either via
either a Dynamic IP Address (DHCP) or via a pre-reserved Static IP Address (typically provided by your System
Administrator).

IP Settings section - Configuring a DHCP Address over Ethernet

1.
Select Protected Setup > System Settings (located on the lower-left) to open the System Settings page.
2.
Locate the IP Settings section of this page.
Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields
appear on the two separate System Settings and Wireless Settings pages; the
information populating these fields is identical. If the information within one of
these fields is altered, the change is reflected on both pages within the altered field.
Example: Domain is altered on Wireless Settings page, the value is then also
changed within the Domain field of the System Settings page.
3.
Toggle the DHCP/Static field (from the IP Settings section) until the choice cycles to DHCP.

The bargraphs have been replaced with descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent.
Those procedures walk you through assigning an SSID, selecting a WEP encryption level, and obtaining a
Current Key string value for a specific WEP Key on a target panel.
As an example, all panels should be set to Default Key #1 and be using aa:bb:cc.as the Current Key string
value. This same Key value and Current Key string should be used on the target WAP.
If you have previously configured an internal wireless card for communication to the Internet, you do not
need to configure the panel's IP Settings fields and can skip the following Step 1.
