AMX NXD-1000Vi Static WEP Settings, WEP 64 / WEP, Generate Passphrase, Default Key, WEP Keys

Firmware Pages and Descriptions

Static WEP security requires that both a target WAP be identified and an encryption method be implemented prior to establishing communication. In addition to providing both Open and Shared Authentication capabilities, this page also supports Hexadecimal and ASCII keys.

Static WEP 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 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.
	• If this field is left blank, the panel will attempt to connect to the first available
	WAP.
WEP 64 / WEP 128:	Cycles through the available encryption options: 64 or 128 Bit Key Size.
	“WEP” (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an 802.11 security protocol designed to
	provide wireless security equivalent to wired networks.
	• WEP64 enables WEP encryption using a 64 Bit Key Size. All packets are
	transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
	• WEP128 enables WEP encryption using a 128 Bit Key Size. All packets are
	transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
	• If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the
	number of bits required for the WEP encryption mode selected.
Generate (Passphrase):	This button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you to enter a pass-
	phrase. The panel then automatically generates four WEP keys (compatible
	only with Modero panels). Enter these WEP keys into the target WAP.
	When working with multiple panels, WEP Keys must be entered into the WAP
	for each panel.
	• All Modero panels use the same code key generator. Therefore, this
	Passphrase generates identical keys on any Modero panel.
	• The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.
	Note: This Key generator is unique to Modero panels and does not generate
	the same keys as non-AMX wireless devices. For example, a Current Key
	string generated anywhere else will not match those created on Modero pan-
	els.
Default Key:	Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers to select a WEP key to
	use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the corresponding
	“Current Key” is displayed. Each Current Key corresponds to a WEP key.
	This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to re-
	enter that networks’ WEP key. It is also sometimes used to set up a rotating
	key schedule to provide an extra layer of security.
WEP Keys:	This feature provides another level of security by selecting up to four WEP
	Keys.
	Push any of the four buttons to open an on-screen keyboard. Both ASCII and
	HEX keys are supported. Up to four keys can be configured for both.
	• An ASCII key utilizes either 5 or 13 ASCII characters
	• A HEX key utilizes either 10 or 26 Hexidecimal characters
	Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value.
	Note: A 64-bit key will be 10 characters in length while a 128-bit key will be
	26 characters in length. The length of the key entered determines the level of
	WEP encryption employed (64 or 128-bit). 128-bit keys may be used if sup-
	ported by the internal wireless card.
