DHCP
When choosing DHCP, a DHCP server must be accessible before the fields are populated.
The parameters of the wireless card must be set before selecting Ethernet as the Master Connection
Type. The Wireless Access Point communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed
wireless CF card inside the device.
MVP touch panels connect to a wireless network through their use of the pre-installed AMX 802.11g
wireless interface card. This allows users to communicate with a Wireless Access Point (WAP). The
WAP communication parameters must match those of the pre-installed wireless interface card installed
within the panel. This internal card transmits data using 802.11x signals at 2.4 GHz. For a more detailed
explanation of the new security and encryption technology, refer to the Appendix B: Wireless
Technology section on page 156.
For more information on utilizing the AMX Certificate Upload Utility in conjunction with the EAP
security, refer to the AMX Certificate Upload Utility section on page 162.
Configuring Wireless Network Access (MVP-5150 Only)
The first step in connecting the MVP-5150 to a wireless network is to configure the wireless
communication parameters within the device’s Wireless Settings page. This page only configures the
card to communicate to a target WAP: the device must still be directed to communicate with the
correct Master. This "pointing to a Master" is done via the System Settings page, which allows
configuration of the IP Address, System Number and Username/Password information assigned to the
target Master.
Step 1: Configure the Device’s Wireless IP Settings (MVP-
5150 Only)
The first step to a successful setup of the internal wireless card is to configure the IP Settings section on
the Wireless Settings page. This section configures the communication parameters from the MVP panel
to the web.
If the SSID (Network Name) and WEP fields have not previously been configured, the
Wireless Settings page will not work until the panel is rebooted.
