Wireless Security - WPA-PSK Settings

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.
	• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
	previously stored SSID information.
Password/Pass Phrase:	When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you
	to enter a passphrase (password).
	• This alpha-numeric string must use a minimum of 8 characters and a
	maximum of 63.
	Note: The exact pass phrase string (including capitalization) must be entered
	on the target WAP.
	• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
	previously stored passwords.
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 - EAP-LEAP

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both a wired and wireless network environment. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a Radius server. Most of the configuration fields described below take variable length strings as inputs. Whenever these fields are selected, an on-screen keyboard appears which allows the string to then be entered.

LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed by Cisco© Systems as a way to securely transmit authentication information over a wireless network environment.

LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates and is therefore one of the least secure EAP security methods but can be utilized successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.

An EAP-LEAP security method is designed for wireless environments where its not required to have both a client or server certificate validation scheme in place yet necessary to securely transmit data over a wireless network. Refer to the EAP Authentication section on page 205 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. Refer to FIG. 106 for an example of what a typical EAP-LEAP system configuration page would like.
