3. Press the Static WEP button to open the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 26).
4. Press the SSID field. From the Network Name (SSID) keyboard, enter the SSID name used by the
target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive), and press Done when finished.
The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the device
will attempt to connect to the first available WAP.
One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP arises because of an
improperly entered SSID. The same case must be maintained when entering this information.
ABC is not the same as Abc.
The alpha-numeric string is AMX by default, but can later be changed to any 32-character
entry. This string must be duplicated within the Network Name (SSID) field on the WAP. As an
example, if the SSID is TECHPUBS, this word and the case within must match both the
Network Name (SSID) field on the touch panel’s Network Name SSID field and on the WAP’s
Basic Wireless Configuration page.
5. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 26) until it reads either 64 Bit Key Size or 128 Bit Key Size.
The 64/128 selection reflects the bit-level of encryption security. This WEP encryption level must
match the encryption level being used on the WAP.
6. Toggle the Default Key field to choose a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches what will be used
on the target. This value MUST MATCH on both devices.
These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.
7. Verify that the fields within the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1:
Configure the Device’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 25 for detailed information.
8. Press the Back button to navigate to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot
button to save any changes and restart the panel. Remember that you will need to navigate to the
System Settings page and configure the connection to a target Master.
9. After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page to verify the Link Quality and Signal
Strength:
The descriptions are None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent.

WEP will not work unless the same Default Key is set on both the panel and the
Wireless Access Point. For example: if the Wireless Access Point has been set to
default key 4 (which was 01:02:03:04:05), the panel’s key 4 must be set to
01:02:03:04:05.
