Refer to the NXA-WAP200G Instruction Manual for more detailed setup and configuration procedures.
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 45.
2. Navigate back to the Wireless Settings 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.
Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode
The panel requires you establish the type of connection you want made between it and your master.
In the Protected Setup page:
1. Select System Settings.
2. Select Type to toggle between the Master Connection Types USB and Ethernet.
A USB connection is a direct connection from the panel’s mini-USB port to a corresponding USB
port on the PC (acting as a Virtual Master).
A Wireless Ethernet connection involves indirect communication from the panel to a Master via a
wireless connection to the network.
USB
NetLinx Studio can be setup to run a Virtual Master where the PC acts as the Master by supplying its own IP
Address for communication to the panel. For a PC to establish a USB connection with a Modero panel, it must
have the AMX USBLAN driver installed.
The signal strength field provides 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.
It is recommended that firmware KIT files only be transferred over a direct connection
and only when the panel is connected to a power supply. If battery power or wireless
connection fails during a firmware upgrade, the panel flash file system may become
corrupted.
