ado
Before beginning the steps to connect a touchpanel to the access
point, you must know the unique network name (SSID) and network
key that have been assigned to the access point at the factory. Locate
this information on the sticker that is attached to the front of the unit.
Sample Sticker
(Front of
Access Point)
To connect a touchpanel to the access point, refer to the general
guidelines below and, if necessary, to the manual supplied with the
touchpanel for details. An example connecting the TPMC-8X to the
access point is provided to the right.
A. Access the setup screen of the touchpanel.
B. Navigate to the window that allows you to select a wireless
network. Select the network name, which matches the network
name on the sticker attached to the access point.
C. Enter the 10-character network key that appears on the sticker.
Note that the network key is not case sensitive.
D. From the setup screen, navigate to the window that allows you to
enable communication between the touchpanel and the control
system. Select the IP ID of the touchpanel and enter the IP
address of the control system.
E. To verify touchpanel connectivity to the WAP, observe the signal
strength on the touchpanel setup screen as you move the
touchpanel to the perimeters of the intended usage area.
The signal strength should be greater than 50 percent.
After all devices are connected to the network, it is recommended that
you remove the sticker on the front of the access point to ensure
network security.
