3. Press the Simple button to open the Wireless Security: Simple Mode window (FIG. 22).
4. Press the SSID field and from the Network Name (SSID) keyboard, enter the SSID name you are using on your
target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive). Press Done when finished.
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 this information. ABC is not the same as
Abc.
The alpha-numeric string is by default AMX but can later be changed to any 32-character entry. This string
must be duplicated within the Network Name (SSID) field on the WAP.
As an example, if you use TECHPUBS as your SSID, you must match this word and the case within both
the Network Name (SSID) field on the touch panel’s Network Name SSID field and on the WAP’s Basic
Wireless Configuration page.
5. Toggle the Encryption button (FIG. 22) until it reads either: 64 or 128 for Bit Key Size.
The 64/128 selection reflects the bit-level of encryption security. This WEP encryption level must match the
encryption level being used on the WAP.
6. Toggle the Default Key field until the you’ve chosen a WEP Key value (from 1- 4) that matches what you’ll be
using on your target WAP200G. This value MUST MATCH on both devices.
These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.
This series of hex digits (26 hex digits for a 128-bit encryption key) should be entered as the Current Key
into both the WAP and onto other communicating Modero panels by using the WEP Key dialog
(
FIG. 23).
7. Write down this Current Key string value for later entry into your WAP’s WEP Key field (typically entered without
colons) and into other communicating panel’s Current Key field (
FIG. 23).
You must first take down the SSID name, Current Key string value, and panel MAC
Address information so you can later enter it into the appropriate WAP dialog fields in
order to "sync-up" the secure connection. These values must be identically
reproduced on the target WAP.

WEP will not work unless the same Default Key is set on both the panel and the
Wireless Access Point.
For example: if you have your Wireless Access Point set to default key 4 (which
was 01:02:03:04:05), you must set the panel’s key 4 to 01:02:03:04:05.
