Modero VG Series Touch Panels - Instruction Manual
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 f ields 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.
• Ga t e w a y 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.
Encryption Cycles through the available encryption options: Clear Text, WEP64, and WEP128. Wired Equivalent Privacy is
an 802.11 security protocol for wireless networks. The WEP encryption method is designed to provide the
"equivalent" security available in wireline networks.
• Clear Text causes network packets to be sent out as unencrypted text.
• WEP64 enables WEP encryption at 64-bits. In this case all packets will be transmitted with their contents
encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• WEP128 enables WEP encryption at 128-bits. All packets are transmitted with their contents encrypted
using the Default WEP Key.
• If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the number of bits required for the WEP
encryption mode selected.
