Step 1 – Get Network Info
When you use a Baseline Wi-Fi module to connect BaseStation 3200 V12 controller to an existing
wireless network, you need to configure the Wi-Fi module with information specific to that
network.
Ask the network administrator at the site for the following information:
Network Name (SSID): _____________________________________________________

Carefully record the Wi-Fi Key or Passcode noting the case of all letters and clearly distinguishing
ones and zeroes from similar alpha characters.
