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 105.
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.
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 .
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.
4.
Repeat steps 1 - 3 on each panel. Using the same passphrase, generates the same key for all
communicating Modero panels.
If your target Wireless Access Point does not support passphrase key generation and
has previously been setup with a manually entered WEP KEY, you must manually
enter that same WEP key on your panel.
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.
