WPA-PSK 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 your wireless network.
	• NXA-WAP200Gs use AMX as their default SSID.
	• If this field is left blank, the panel will attempt to connect to the first
	available WAP.
Password:	Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter a passphrase (password).
	• This alpha-numeric string must use a minimum of 8 characters and a
	maximum of 63.
	• The exact pass phrase string (including capitalization) must be entered on
	the target WAP.
Save/Cancel:	• Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the
	previous page.
	• Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.

EAP-LEAP Settings

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length strings as inputs. An on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.

LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication information securely in 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.

EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where it is not required to have a client or server certificate validation scheme in place, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.

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 your 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. 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.
