Wireless Security - Static WEP (Cont.)

Current Key:

Displays the current WEP key in use. Keys may also be examined by

 

touching the key buttons and noting the keyboard initialization text.

 

• When working with a single panel and a single WAP, it is recommended that

 

you manually enter the Current Key from the WAP into the selected WEP

 

Key.

 

• When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, it is recommended

 

that you generate a Current Key using the same passphrase on all panels

 

and then enter the panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless

 

Access Point.

 

• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any

 

previously stored key information.

 

 

Authentication:

Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open + WEP or

 

Shared + WEP: The choice here is whether or not the SSID is broadcast

 

publicly or encrypted.

 

• An Open system + WEP network allows connections from any client without

 

authenticating whether that client has permission to associate with the

 

network.

 

• A Shared key + WEP network requires the client to submit a key which is

 

shared by the network Wireless Access Point before it is given permission

 

to associate with the network. In this case the key is the same as the

 

WEP encryption key.

 

• In both cases, even after association has taken place, if WEP encryption

 

has also been enabled then the client will still require the WEP key to

 

encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate successfully with the

 

network.

 

 

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.

 

 

Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - WPA-PSK

A WPA-PSK security method is designed for environments where its 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). 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 Static WEP button opens the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 104).

Required Information:

- SSID (Network Name used by the Target WAP) - Password/Pass Phrase
