EAP-FAST Settings
Press the EAP-FAST button to open the EAP-FAST Settings dialog (FIG. 62).
EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) security was designed for wireless
environments where security and ease of setup are equally desirable. EAP-FAST uses a certificate file,
however it can be configured to download the certificate automatically the first time the panel attempts to
authenticate itself. Automatic certificate downloading is convenient but slightly less secure, since its the
certificate is transferred wirelessly and could theoretically be “sniffed-out”.

EAP-FAST 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 the wireless network.
• NXA-WAP250Gs 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 to 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].
