Automatically Setting SSID
In the System Settings page:
1. Select the WiFi tab.
2. Press the Site Survey button at the bottom of the page.
3. Select a secured WAP from within the Site Survey page, and press the Connect button (FIG. 22).
4. If the security is not handled automatically, the information must be entered manually from the Wireless
Security menu.
Manually Setting SSID
In the System Settings page:
1. Select the WiFi tab.
2. Press the Next button to move to the second WiFi page.
3. From the Security Modes options, press the Simple button to open the Wireless Security: Simple Mode
popup window.
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 OK 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 button to the right of the Security Type field until it reads either 64 or 128.
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. Choose a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches what will be used on the target.
7. Verify that the fields within the IP Settings section have been properly configured. Refer to Step 1:
Configure the Device’s WiFi Settings section on page 24 for detailed information. Press Save when
finished to save any changes and return to the System Settings page.
8. Press the Back button twice to navigate to the Status page and save any changes. Remember that you will
need to return to the System Settings page after the reboot and configure the connection to a target Master.
9. After the panel restarts, return to the second page of the WiFi tab to verify the Signal Level Value and the
Signal Level.
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.
The WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.
The Signal Level Value field provides some value indicating regarding the strength of
the connection to a Wireless Access Point. Configuration of the network could be
required if there is no signal or no IP Address is displayed.
