FIG. 59 Wireless Settings page - WPA-PSK Settings

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).

Using WPA-PSK, the encryption on the WAP could either be WPA or WPA2. The firmware in the panel will automatically connect to the WAP using the correct encryption. The WPA encryption type is configured on the WAP, not in the firmware.

WAPs do not display “WPA” or “WPA2” on their configuration screens:

WPA is normally displayed as TKIP.

WPA2 is normally displayed as AES CCMP.

The following fields are required: SSID and Password/Pass Phrase.

Enter the SSID of the WAP.

Enter a pass phrase with a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 63.

The exact same pass phrase (including capitalization) must be entered in the access point.
