2 Configure Router for Wireless Network using pre-shared key The SimplicityTouch can be configured to connect directly to your network via the internal router. The internal router supports several features: 1) Wired connection (this is preferred and most common way to connect panel). See separate user guide for wired connection instructions. 2) Wireless connection via Pre-shared Key. 3) Act as wireless access point allowing users to share the panels connection to local network (note, this is typically disabled and not used in commercial environments).
