Configuring Communication
60 7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels
One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arise 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.
8. Toggle the Authentication field to an Open System (default).
Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID
matches the WAP’s SSID.
9. Toggle the Encryption field until it reads Clear Text (default).
10. Verify the fields in the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1:
Configure the Panel’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 57 for detailed information.
11. Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot
button to both save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to
navigate to the System Connection page and configure the connection to a target Master.
12. After the panel restarts, return to the Secondary Connection page to verify the Link Quality
and Signal Strength:
The bargraphs have been replaced with descriptions: None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very
Good, and Excellent (FIG. 57).
Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration
procedures.
Configuring the Modero’s wireless card for secured access to a WAP200G
After logging into the WAP200G, the default Status page appears within the web browser. These
read-only values are "pulled" from some of the other user-configurable Configuration Utility pages.
By default, wireless Modero panels are configured for unsecured communication to a Wireless
Access Point. To properly setup both the WAP200G and panel for secure communication, you must
first prepare the Modero panel and then use the information provided to fill out the fields within the
WAP’s browser-based Basic Wireless Configuration page.
Since the code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula, all panels
will generate identical keys for the same Passphrase. The generators used on WAPs will not
produce the same key as the Modero generator even if you use the same Passphrase. This is why
we recommend creating the Current Key FIRST on the Modero and then entering that
information into the appropriate WAP200G fields.
1. Power-down the Modero unit and follow the wireless card installation procedures outlined in
the Installation of the Wireless Card (Table Top Panel) section on page 15.
When configuring touch panels for wireless communication, verify that no Ethernet
connector is installed within the panel before the unit is power cycled.
The remaining Wireless Settings fields are then greyed-out and become read-only. All
NXA-WAP200Gs are factory-shipped as an unsecured WAP with no WEP
encryption. The WAP200G initial Status page will display the status of both the WEP
and WPA (both disabled).
The signal strength field should provide 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.
