Active Roaming on
	In high-interference areas, pressing this button allows the device to switch back
Channels 1,6,11	and forth between channels 1, 6, and 11 in order to find the best possible
	connection.
Transmit Power
	In areas where the connection may be dropped regularly if the device’s
	broadcast power is less than necessary to maintain the connnection, pressing
	this button automatically increases the broadcast strength to 100 percent.
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 Site Survey page. The options on this page
	allow you to detect (“sniff-out”) all WAPs transmitting within range of the
	panel’s NXA-WC80211GCFWi-Fi card (this feature is not available with the
	802.11b).
	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 22 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 net-
	work. Selecting any of the connection method buttons invokes the relevant con-
	figuration page, with options that allow you to define parameters specific to the
	selected method of connection.
	• Refer to the Wireless Settings Page section on page 66 for further details on
	these security options.
Open (Clear Text)
	This button opens the Open (Clear Text) Settings page (FIG. 57 on page 70).
	“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 communi-
	cate with the network.
	• Refer to the Open (Clear Text) Settings section on page 70 for further details.
Static WEP
	This button opens the Static WEP Settings page (FIG. 58 on page 71).
	“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 71 for further details.
WPA-PSK
	This button opens the WPA-PSK Settings page (FIG. 59 on page 73).
	“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 73 for further details.
EAP-PEAP	This button opens the EAP-PEAP Settings page (FIG. 63 on page 78).
	“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 78 for further details.
	• For information on uploading a certificate file, refer to the AMX Certificate
	Upload Utility section on page 157.
