Pressing the Simple or Enterprise buttons at the bottom of the Information/Configuration section open an appropriate
Wireless Security window for Simple Mode (FIG. 55) or Enterprise Mode (FIG. 56). Simple Mode is best used for
smaller installations that use a single Master, such as for residences or smaller office environments. Enterprise Mode is
intended for installations that use multiple Masters, where a wireless device may need to switch between multiple
wireless access points connected to different Masters in a network.
Wireless Settings Page (Cont.)
Channel Selection: Pressing this button presents a popup that gives the user the option, in high-
interference areas, of excluding three channel groups in order to find the best
possible connection.
• Channel 1 includes channels 1, 2, and 3.
• Channel 6 includes channels 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
• Channel 11 includes channels 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13.
The default on the popup allows scanning on all three channel groups. Click
the checkmark to exclude each channel group: any excluded channel group will
be marked with a red "X".
Information: Pressing this button opens a popup that explains the particular functions of the
Roaming and Channel Selection buttons.
Site Survey: Launches the Site Survey page. The options on this page allow you to detect
(“sniff-out”) all WAPs transmitting within range of the panel’s NXA-
WC80211GCF Wi-Fi card (this feature is not available with the 802.11b).
Data displayed on the Site Survey page is categorized by:
- Network Name (SSID) - WAP names
- Channel (RF) - channels currently being used by the WAP
- Security Type - security protocol enabled on the WAP, if detectable
- Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent
- MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point
• Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 22 for more detailed
information on the SIte Survey page.
When communicating with a NXA- WAP200G, enter the MAC Address (BSSID)
of the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the WAP200G
Instruction Manual for more information.
Information/Configuration: • Mode - Displays the current Security Type selected via either the Simple or
Enterprise options.
• Security Type - Displays whether the currently used security type is Simple
or Enterprise.
• SSID - Displays the currently used SSID of the target WAP.
• Channel - The RF channel being used for connection to the WAP (read-
only).
• Signal Level Value - Displays the quality of the link from the wireless NIC to
the Wireless Access Point (direct sequence spread spectrum) in real time
(None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good
, and Excellent).Even when link quality is
at its lowest you still have a connection, and the ability to transmit and
receive data, even if at lower speeds.
Note: “Signal Level Value” and “Signal Level” are applicable to RF connections
only. It is possible to have an RF signal to a WAP, but be unable to
communicate with it because of either incorrect IP or encryption settings.
• Signal Level - This bar graph demonstrates the strength of the current
signal.
Simple/Enterprise: • Opens either the Wireless Security: Simple Mode or the Wireless Security:
Enterprise Mode windows.
