Step 2: Configure the Card’s Wireless Security Settings
The second step in setting up the wireless card is to configure the Wireless Settings section of the WiFi Settings tab. This
section configures both the communication and security parameters from the internal wireless card to an access point
(AP). The procedures outlined within the following sections for an 802.11a/b/g card facilitate a common security
configuration to a target access point.
Refer to the Appendix B: Wireless Technology section on page 175 for more information on other security methods.
After setting up the wireless card parameters, configure the communication parameters for the target Master; see Step 3:
Choose a Master Connection Mode section on page 32.

12. Monitor the WiFi Settings tab to verify that the IP address was obtained. This is confirmation of a successful
connection to the AP.
Step 3: Choose a Master Connection Mode
The MVP-9000i requires a decision on the type of connection to be made between it and the Master.
To establish a Master connection:
1. From the System Settings page, select the Master tab if it is not already selected.
2. The Current Connection field displays the current connection availability (FIG. 30). If this field reads “Any”, then
connections may be made via Ethernet, wireless Ethernet, or USB.
A Wired connection involves communication from the panel to a Master via a wired Ethernet connection to
the network. This is available through the Wired tab on the System Settings page.
A WiFi connection involves communication from the panel to a Master via a wireless connection to the
network. This is available through the WiFi tab on the System Settings page.
The selected AP should be preconfigured with an WPA-PSK password.
The signal level field should provide some value indicating the strength of the signal
from the Access Point. If no signal or no IP Address is displayed, configuration of the
network may be required.
