TTLS (EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is an authentication method that does not use a client certificate to authenticate the panel. However. this method is more secure than PEAP because it does not broadcast the identity of the user. Setup is similar to PEAP, but differs in the following areas:

An anonymous identity must be specified until the secure tunnel between the panel and the

Radius server is setup to transfer the real identity of the user.

There is no end-user ability to select from the different types of PEAP.

Additional Inner Authentication choices are available to the end-user.

EAP-TTLS security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to have the Radius server directly validate the identity of the client (panel) before allowing it access to the network. This validation is done by tunneling a connection through the WAP and directly between the panel and the Radius server. Once the client is identified and then validated, the Radius server disconnects the tunnel and allows the panel to access the network directly via the target WAP.

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 permit- ted 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.
