VG Series Modero Touch Panels
Wireless Settings Page Elements
Back: Saves the changes and returns you to the previously active touch panel page.
Connection Status icon: This visual display of the connection status allows the user to have a current visual update of
the panel’s connection status regardless of what page is currently active.
• A Lock only appears on the icon if the panel has established a connection with a
currently secured target Master (requiring a username and password).
IP Settings: Sets the IP communication values for the touch panel and contains:
DHCP/STATIC Sets the panel to either DHCP or Static communication modes.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns IP Addresses to client stations
logging onto a TCP/IP network from a DHCP server.
• Static IP is a permanent IP Address that is assigned to a node in a TCP/IP network.
Note: If DHCP is selected, the following fields become read-only: IP Address, Subnet Mask,
Gateway, Primary DNS, Secondary DNS, and Domain.
IP Address Sets the secondary IP Address assigned to the panel.
Subnet Mask Sets a subnetwork address to the panel.
• Subnetwork mask is the technique used by the IP protocol to filter messages into a
particular network segment (subnet).
Gateway Sets a gateway value to the panel.
• Gateway is a computer that either performs protocol conversion between different types
of networks/applications or acts as a go-between for two or more networks that use the
same protocols.
Host Name Sets the host name of the panel.
• PRIMARY DNS sets the address of the primary DNS server being used by the Modero
panel for host name lookups.
- DNS (Domain Name System) is software that lets users locate computers on a local
network or the Internet (TCP/IP network) by host and domain. The DNS server maintains
a database of host names for its’ domain and their corresponding IP Addresses.
• SECONDARY DNS sets the secondary DNS value to the panel.
Primary DNS Sets the address of the primary DNS server used by the panel for host name lookups.
Secondary DNS Sets the secondary DNS value to the Modero panel.
Domain Sets the unique name on the Internet to the panel for DNS look-up.
MAC Address This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the wireless mini-PCI Ethernet card.
Access Point MAC
Address:
This value is factory set by the manufacturer of the Wireless Access Point (WAP).
• When communicating with a WAP200G enter the MAC Address (BSSID) of the target
WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the WAP200G Instruction Manual for
more detailed information on the interaction between these two product lines.
Wireless Settings: Sets the communication values for the optional NXA-PCI80211G mini-PCI wireless
communication card (if present).
Network Name (SSID) Provides the Service Set Identifier (SSID), required by the panel, before it is permitted to join
the wireless network. The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and assigned to all
panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.
• It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any keyboard
character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your wireless network.
• This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users on the same
network.
Authentication Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open System or Shared Key:
•An Open system network allows connections from any client without authenticating
whether that client has permission to associate with the network.
•A Shared key network requires the client to submit a key which is shared by the network
Wireless Access Point before it is given permission to associate with the network. In this
case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.
• In both cases, even after association has taken place, if WEP encryption has also been
enabled then the client will still require the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in
order to communicate successfully with the network.
