Access Point MAC

This unique address identifies the Wireless Access Point (WAP) used by this

 

Address:

panel for wireless communication (read-only).

 

 

Site Survey button: Launches the Wireless Site Survey page. The options on

 

 

this page allow you to detect (“sniff-out”) all WAPs transmitting within range of

 

 

the panel’s Wi-Fi card.

 

 

Data displayed on the Site Survey page is categorized by:

 

 

- Network Name (SSID) - WAP names

 

 

- Channel (RF) - channels currently being used by the WAP

 

 

- Security Type - security protocol enabled on the WAP, if detectable

 

 

- Signal Strength - None, Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good, and Excellent

 

 

- MAC Address - Unique identification of the transmitting Access Point

 

 

• Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 23 for more detailed

 

 

information on the SIte Survey page.

 

 

• When communicating with a NXA- WAP200G, enter the MAC Address

 

 

(BSSID) of the target WAP as the Access Point MAC Address. Refer to the

 

 

WAP200G Instruction Manual for more information.

 

 

 

 

Wireless Security:

Sets the wireless security method to be used by the panel to connect to the

 

 

network. Selecting any of the connection method buttons invokes the relevant

 

 

configuration page, with options that allow you to define parameters specific to

 

 

the selected method of connection.

 

Open (Clear Text)

 

 

This button opens the Open (Clear Text) Settings page (FIG. 63 on page 68).

 

 

“Open” security does not utilize any encryption methodology, but requires an

 

 

SSID (alpha-numeric) entry. This entry must match the Network Name (SSID)

 

 

entry of the target WAP so the panel knows what device it is using to

 

 

communicate with the network.

 

 

• Refer to the Open (Clear Text) Settings section on page 68 for further details.

 

Static WEP

 

 

This button opens the Static WEP Settings page (FIG. 64 on page 69).

 

 

“Static WEP” security requires that both a target WAP be identified and an

 

 

encryption method be implemented prior to establishing communication.

 

 

• Refer to the Static WEP Settings section on page 69 for further details.

 

WPA-PSK

 

 

This button opens the WPA-PSK Settings page (FIG. 65 on page 71).

 

 

“WPA-PSK” security 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).

 

 

• Refer to the WPA-PSK Settings section on page 71 for further details.

 

 

 

 

EAP-PEAP

This button opens the EAP-PEAP Settings page (FIG. 70 on page 77).

 

 

“EAP-PEAP” security is designed for wireless environments where it is neces-

 

 

sary to securely transmit data over a wireless network.

 

 

• Refer to the EAP-PEAP Settings section on page 77 for further details.

 

 

• For information on uploading a certificate file, refer to the AMX Certificate

 

 

Upload Utility section on page 168.

 

EAP-TTLS

 

 

This button opens the EAP-TTLS Settings page (FIG. 71 on page 79).

 

 

“EAP-TTLS” security is designed for wireless environments where having a

 

 

Radius server directly validate the identity of the client (panel) is necessary

 

 

before allowing it access to the network.

 

 

• Refer to the EAP-TTLS Settings section on page 79 for further details.

 

 

• For information on uploading a certificate file, refer to the AMX Certificate

 

 

Upload Utility section on page 168.
