4. Press the red SSID field (FIG. 38) to display an on-screen Network Name (SSID) keyboard.
5. In this keyboard, enter the SSID name used on your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive).
The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP. If this field is left blank, the unit will
attempt to connect to the first available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their
assigned SSID value.
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.
6. Click Done when you’ve completed typing in the information.

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 given 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. For this reason, we recommend FIRST creating the
Current Key on the Modero and then entering that information into the appropriate NXA-WAP200G
fields.
