Wireless Settings Page
The Wireless Settings page (FIG. 125) sets the communication information for the installed wireless
interface card. This information includes its corresponding IP communication parameters, wireless
communication settings, and read the device number assigned to the Modero panel. These panels can use
the optional NXA-PCI80211G wireless card for wireless communication. This card also supports
Wired
Encryption Protocol (WEP) encryption of 64-bit and 128-bit key lengths.
Refer to both the Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview section on page 101 and
Configuring a Wireless Connection section on page 102 for more detailed information of setting up the
Modero panel for wireless network access.
The elements of the Wireless Settings page are described in the table below:

Wireless Settings Page Elements
Back: Saves the changes and returns you to the previously active touch panel page.
Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current
visual update of the panel’s connection status regardless of what page is
currently active.
• A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection
with a currently secured target Master ( requiring a username and password ).
IP Settings: Sets the IP communication values for the touch panel and contains:
DHCP/STATIC Sets the panel to either DHCP or Static communication modes.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP Addresses to client
stations logging onto a TCP/IP network from a DHCP server.
• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP
network.
Note: If DHCP is selected, the following fields become read-only: IP Address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain.
IP Address Sets the secondary IP Address assigned to the panel.
Subnet Mask Sets a subnetwork address to the panel.
• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages
into a particular network segment (subnet).
Gateway Sets a gateway value to the panel.
• Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between
different types of networks/applications or acts as a go-between for two or
more networks that use the same protocols.
