Step 2: Configuring the Card’s Wireless Settings
The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of
the Secondary Connection page. The section configures both the communication and security parameters from
the internal wireless card to the WAP.
Configuring the panel for unsecured access to the WAP
1.
Power-down the Modero unit and insert the interface card into the PCMCIA slot.
2.
Power-up the panel (this allows it to detect the card).
3.
Select Protected Setup > Secondary Connection (located on the lower-left) to open the Secondary
Connection page.
4.
Locate the Wireless Settings section of the Secondary Connection page.
5.
Touch the Network Name (SSID) field (FIG. 54).
6.
From the Service Set Identifier keyboard, enter the SSID name used on your target Wireless Access Point
( case sensitive ).
Do not leave this field blank. The card must be given the SSID for a target WAP.
One of the most common problems associated with connection to the WAP arises because the SSID
was not entered properly. You must maintain the same case when entering the SSID information.
ABC is not the same as Abc.
7.
Toggle the Authentication field between Open System or Shared Key .
Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID matches
the WAP’s SSID.
Shared Key Authentication requires that the panel and the Wireless Access Point have the same
WEP Key to authenticate.
8.
Toggle the Encryption field until it reads Clear Text (default) .
Once you have completed setting up the wireless card parameters, you must then
navigate to the System Connection page and configure the communication
parameters for the target Master. Until those parameters are configured, your
Connection Status icon will remain red (indicating that there is no current connection
to a Master).

The remaining Wireless Settings fields are then greyed-out and become read-only.
