Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - Overview

The Wireless Settings page allows a user to select from up to eight available wireless security methods now available via the NXA-WC80211GCF Wi-Fi card. The new security methods incorporate the following security technology: WPA, WPA2, and EAP (some of which require the upload of unique certificate files to a target panel). Refer to the Appendix B - Wireless Technology section on page 201 for more further information.

Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - Open (Clear Text)

An Open security method does not utilize any encryption methodology but does require that an SSID (alpha-numeric) be entered. Using this method causes network packets to be sent out as unencrypted text. Refer to the Configuring a Wireless Connection section on page 59 for further details on these security options. Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 61 for more information on using this feature. Pressing the Open (Clear Text) button opens the Open (Clear Text) Settings dialog.

SSID (Service Set Identifier): The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and then assigned to all panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.

	• This is required by the WAP before the panel is permitted to join the
	wireless network.
	• It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any
	keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
	wireless network.
	• This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users
	on the same network.
	• From the Network Name (SSID) keyboard, enter the SSID name used on
	your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive).
	- The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP.
	- If this field is left blank, the unit will attempt to connect to the first
	available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned
	SSID value.
	• One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP
	arise because the SSID was not entered properly. You must maintain the
	same case when entering the SSID information. ABC is not the same as
	Abc.
	• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
	previously stored SSID information.
Save/Cancel:	• Use the Save button to store the new security information, incorporate it,
	and then return to the previous Wireless Settings page.
	• Use the Cancel button to cancel any updates to the security parameters
	and return to the previous Wireless Settings page.
