Wireless Security:

Open (Clear Text)

Static WEP

WPA-PSK

Sets the wireless security method being used by the Modero panel to establish communication with the network (via the target WAP).

Touching any of the eight available connection method buttons launches a new connection-specific dialog page which allows the user to define the communication parameters specific to that type of connection.

Some connection methods can be chosen

Refer to the following Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - Overview section on page 115 for further details on these security options.

An Open security method does not utilize any encryption methodology but does require that an SSID (alpha-numeric) be entered. This entry must match the Network Name (SSID) entry of the target WAP because the panel must know what device its using to bridge the communication gap between itself and the network.

Using this method causes network packets to be sent out as unencrypted text.

Pressing the Open (Clear Text) button opens the Open (Clear Text) Settings dialog (FIG. 102).

The following fields are required: SSID.

Refer to the following Wireless Settings Page - Security Options -

Overview section on page 115 for further details on these security options.

A Static WEP security method requires that both a target WAP be identified and an encryption method be implemented prior to establishing an active communication session.

Pressing the Static WEP button opens the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 103).

The following fields are required: SSID, Encryption method, Passphrase, WEP Key assignment, and Authentication method.

Refer to the following Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - Overview section on page 115 for further details on these security options.

A WPA-PSKsecurity method is designed for environments where is it desirable to use WPA or WPA2 but an 802.1x authentication server is not available. PSK connections are more secure than WEP and are simpler to configure since they implement dynamic keys but share a key between the WAP and the panel (client).

Pressing the WPA-PSKbutton opens the WPA-PSK Settings dialog (FIG. 104).

Although the button is labeled WPA-PSK, the encryption on the WAP could either be WPA or WPA2. The firmware in the panel will connect to the access point using the correct encryption automatically. The WPA encryption type is configured in the access point, not in the firmware.

WAPs do not show WPA or WPA2 on their configuration screens.

-WPA is normally displayed on an WAP as TKIP.

-WPA2 is normally displayed on an WAP as AES CCMP.

The following fields are required: SSID and Password/Pass Phrase.

-The values that need to be entered are the SSID of the WAP and a

pass phrase that is a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 63.

-The exact same pass phrase including capitalization must be entered in the access point.

-Whenever entering a password on any screen, touch the password field to pop up the keyboard, press Clear to completely erase the previous password, and then enter the new password.
