Configuring multiple wireless Moderos to communicate with a target WAP
1.
Follow the steps outlined above for the particular method of wireless access.
2.
Press the
Generate
button to launch the WEP Passphrase keyboard.
3.
Enter a passphrase into the keyboard.
4.
Click
Done
when you are finished entering the passphrase.
5.
Repeat steps 1 - 4 on each of the other panels.
Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for
all communicating Modero panels.
6.
Enter the Current Key string value (displayed within the
Current Key
field) manually into the Wireless
Access Point. This facilitates the process of entering the long key identically onto all 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 Connection 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 Connection 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
).
If you have previously configured the 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.
Step 1: Configuring the Panel’s IP Settings
There are only two available methods of communicating a target Master over the Internet: Wireless (via the
PCMCIA 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 Connection 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 Connection
(located on the lower-left) to open the System Connection
page.
2.
Locate the IP Settings section of this page.
3.
Toggle the
DHCP/Static
field (
from the IP Settings section
) until the choice cycles to
DHCP
.
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.
This process begins with setting up a common password within the panels and then
associating that password with a 128-bit key on the Wireless Access Point. Rather
than replicating the long key on all wireless Modero panels and possibly creating
errors in the replication, a less-complex string can be used to ensure security by
associating the password with the key on the Wireless Access Point.
Even though the Host, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain fields
appear on the two separate System Connection and Secondary Connection 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 Secondary Connection page, the value is then also
changed within the Domain field of the System Connection page.
