Wireless Settings Page
The Wireless Settings page (FIG. 129) sets the communication information for the installed wireless interface card. This
information includes its corresponding IP communication parameters, wireless communication settings, and read the
device number assigned to the Modero panel. These panels can use the optional NXA-PCI80211G wireless card for
wireless communication. This card also supports Wired Encryption Protocol (WEP) encryption of 64-bit and 128-bit key
lengths.
Refer to both the Wireless Settings Page - Wireless Access Overview section on page 86 and Configuring a Wireless
Connection section on page 86 for more detailed information of setting up the Modero panel for wireless network
access.
The elements of the Wireless Settings page are described in the table below:
Connection Utility Popup Window Elements (Cont.)
Wireless Information
WAP MAC The MAC Address for the WAP currently in use.
If the MAC Address changes, it means the panel has switched/roamed to a different
access point. This can be used to determine coverage for each access point and help
isolate "brown" areas where coverage is minimal or non-existent, and thus require another
access installed.
SSID Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
Channel The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read -only).
Signal Level Value The value of the outgoing signal in dBm.
Signal Level A bar display showing the current signal strength.
Connection Statistics
Query Messages Sent The number of messages sent from the panel to the master.
Responses Received The number of responses the panel has received from the master.
Responses Missed The number of expected responses from the master to the panel missed.
