FIG. 68 Wireless Settings page - EAP-FAST Settings

EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) security was designed for wireless environments where security and ease of setup are equally desirable. EAP-FAST uses a certificate file, however it can be configured to download the certificate automatically the first time the panel attempts to authenticate itself. Automatic certificate downloading is convenient but slightly less secure, since its the certificate is transferred wirelessly and could theoretically be “sniffed-out”.

EAP-FAST Settings

SSID (Service Set Identifier):	Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter the SSID name used on the target
	WAP.
	The SSID is a unique name used by the WAP, and is assigned to all panels
	on that network. An SSID is required by the WAP before the panel is
	permitted to join the network.
	• The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
	• Make sure this setting is the same for all points in the wireless network.
	• NXA-WAP200Gs use AMX as their default SSID.
	• With EAP security, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
	the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
	EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
	detected WAP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
	support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.
Identity:	Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter an EAP Identity string (used by the
	panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server).
	Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured
	server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string which is
	similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation.
	Typically, this is in the form of a username such as: jdoe@amx.com.
