AMX Modero NXD/NXT-1200VG - Manual (Page 111)

Configuring Communication
97 VG-Series Modero Touch Panels
 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.
8. Leave the Authentication field reading Open System (default).
 Open System Authentication allows any device to join the network if the panel’s SSID matches
the WAP’s SSID. An Open System is recommended for communication between Modero panels
and an NXA-WAP200G.
 Shared Key Authentication requires that the panel and the Wireless Access Point have the same
WEP Key to authenticate.
9. Toggle the Encryption field (FIG. 80) until it reads WEP64 or WEP128. 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.
10. 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.
 These WEP Key identifier values must match for both devices.
11. With the proper WEP Key value displayed, press the Generate button to launch the WEP Passphrase
keyboard.
If you are wanting to have your target WAP (other than a 200G) generate the Current Key -
Do not press the Generate button and continue with Step 14.
 This keyboard allows you to enter a Passphrase (such as AMXPanel) and then AUTOMATICALLY
generate a WEP key which is compatible only among Modero panels.
12. Within this on-screen WEP Passphrase keyboard (FIG. 81), enter a character string or word (such as
AMXPanel) and press Done when you have finished.
 As an example, enter the word AMXPanel using a 128-bit hex digit encryption. After pressing
Done, the on-screen Current Key field displays a long string of characters (separated by colons)
which represents the encryption key equivalent to the word AMXPanel.
 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. 82).
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.
The code key generator on Modero panels use the same key generation formula.
Therefore, this same Passphrase generates identical keys when done on any
Modero because they all use the same Modero-specific generator. The Passphrase
generator is case sensitive.
