keyboard which allows you to enter the name of the file containing the

 

 

PAC shared secret credentials for use in authentication.

 

This field is only valid when the automatic PAC provisioning feature has

 

 

been enabled via the previous field.

EAP-PEAP Settings

PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed as a way to securely transmit authentication information, such as passwords, over a wireless network environment. PEAP uses only server-side public key certificates and therefore does not need a client (panel) certificate which makes the configuration and setup easier.

There are two main versions of the PEAP protocol supported by panel’s DeviceScape Wireless Client: PEAPv0

PEAPv1

PEAP uses inner authentication mechanisms supported by the DeviceScape Wireless Client, the most common of which are:

MSCHAPv2 with PEAPv0 GTC with PEAPv1

EAP-PEAP security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.

EAP-PEAP 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.

 

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.

 

 

Password:

Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter the network password string specified

 

for the user entered within the Identity field (used by the panel to identify itself

 

to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server)

 

Note: This information is similar to the password entered to gain access to a

 

secured workstation.
