Wireless LAN Module for Use with SK-ACPE and SK-MRCP (NOVA.16) Access Control Panels

INTRODUCTION

The SK-WLSE-MOD Wireless LAN Module is an accessory for the Secura Key SK-ACPE and SK-MRCP (NOVA.16) Access Control Panels, which allows the control panel to connect to the host system via an existing 802.11b/g Wireless Router. The SK-WLSE-MOD is based on the Lantronix xPico® Wi-Fi module, which is a complete device server suitable for mobile M2M applications. It can be configured from any mobile device, including smartphones and tablets, or a laptop.

Required Information

The SK-WLSE-MOD serial number is the MAC Address. This number is available on the label. Provide this number to the System Administrator.

Example: 0080A39805ED

The SK-WLSE-MOD must have a unique Static IP Address on your network. The System Administrator generally provides the IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and the SSID (Network Name). Write these down in the blank spaces below for future reference.
