MVP-8400i 8.4" Modero® ViewPoint® Touch Panel with Intercom
If a WAP displayed in the list is not detected for 10 scans in a row, it is then removed
from the screen. In this way, a user can walk around a building and see access points
come and go as they move in and out of range.
3.
Sort the information provided on this page by pressing on a column name and toggling the direction
of the adjacent arrow.
Up arrow
- indicates that the information is being sorted in a Ascending order.
SSID
(A to Z),
Channel
(1 to 14),
Security
(Unknown to WEP),
Signal
(None to
Excellent). The firmware considers the following to be the security order from least
secure to most secure: Open, WEP, WPA, WPA2, and Unknown.
Down arrow
- indicates that the information is being sorted in a Descending order.
SSID
(Z to A),
Channel
(11 to 6),
Security
(WEP to Unknown),
Signal
(Excellent
to None)
4.
Select a desired Access Point by touching the corresponding row. The up arrow and down arrow
will be grayed out if there are ten or less access points detected. If there are more, then they will be
enabled as appropriate so that the user can scroll through the list.
5.
With the desired WAP selected and highlighted, click the
Connect
button to be directed to the
selected security mode’s Settings page, either
Simple
or
Enterprise
, with the
SSID
field filled in.
You can then either
Cancel
the operation or fill in any necessary information fields and then click
Save
.
If you select an Open, WEP, and WPA-PSK Access Point and then click
Connect
, you will be flipped
to the corresponding Settings page. For any other security mode, if you click
Connect
you will only
return to the previous page without any information being pre-filled out for you.
In an Open security mode, when a target WAP is selected and the connect to, the SSID name
of the selected WAP is saved for the open security mode.
In a Static WEP security mode, when a WEP Access Point is selected and then connected to,
the user is then redirected back to the Static WEP security screen where the
SSID
field is
already filled out and the user is only required to enter in the remaining WEP key settings.
A similar process occurs for WPA-PSK access points. For any other case, the firmware
switches back to the previous page and security and connection parameters must be entered in
as normal.
Step 2: Configure the Card’s Wireless Security Settings
The second step to successfully setting up your wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section
of the Wireless Settings page. This section configures both the communication and security parameters
from the internal wireless card to the WAP.
The procedures outlined within the following sections use
an 802.11g card to configure a common security configuration to a target WAP.
Refer to either the Wireless Settings Page
section on page 65
or the Appendix B - Wireless
Technology
section on page 181
for more information on the other security methods.
Once you have set up the wireless card parameters, you must configure the communication parameters
for the target Master; see
Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode
section on page 27.
If the panel detects more than 10 WAPs, the Up/Down arrows at the far right side of
the page become active (blue) and allow the user to scroll through the list of entries.
