3. From within the Wireless Security section, press the Open (Clear Text) button to open the Open
(Clear Text) Settings dialog (FIG. 23). An Open security method does not utilize any encryption
methodology, but does require that an alpha-numeric SSID be entered. This method sends out
network packets as unencrypted text.
4. Press the red SSID field to display an on-screen Network Name (SSID) keyboard.
5. In this keyboard, enter the SSID name used on the target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive).
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 involves an incorrect
SSID. Make sure to maintain the same case when entering the SSID information. ABC is not
the same as Abc.
6. Click Done when complete.
7. From the Open (Clear Text) Settings page (FIG. 23), press the Save button to incorporate the new

Device’s Wireless IP Settings section on page 25 for detailed information.
9. Press the Back button to return to the Protected Setup page and press the on-screen Reboot button
to save any changes and restart the device. Remember that the connection must be configured to a
target Master from the System Settings page.
10. After the panel restarts, return to the Wireless Settings page’s RF Link Info section and verify the
link quality and signal strength:
The descriptions are None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent (FIG. 21).
