Configuring Communication
64 7" Modero Widescreen Touch Panels
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 60.
2. Navigate back to the Wireless/Secondary Connection 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.
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 an internal 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.
Step1: Configure the Panel’s Wired IP Settings
There are only two available methods of communicating a target Master over the Internet: Wireless
(via an internal 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.
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.
