feature.
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-FAST Settings (Cont.)
PAC File Location: This field is used when the previous Automatic PAC Provisioning option has
been Disabled.
• When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen PAC File Location
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.
Save/Cancel: • Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the
previous page.
• Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.
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: [email protected].
