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.
Refer to the Configuring a Wireless Network Access section on page 20 for details on these security options.
WEP Settings (Cont.)
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
supported by the internal wireless card.
Current Key: Displays the current WEP key in use.
• When working with a single panel and a single WAP, it is recommended
that you manually enter the Current Key from the WAP into the selected
WEP Key.
• When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, it is recommended
that you generate a Current Key using the same passphrase on all panels
and then enter the panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless
Access Point.
• Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the
keyboard initialization text.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to erase stored key
information.
Authentication: Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open + WEP (broadcast
publicly) or Shared + WEP (encrypted).
•An Open + WEP network allows connections from any client without
authentication.
•A Shared + WEP network requires the client to submit a key which is
shared by the network WAP before it is given permission to associate with
the network. In this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.
In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require
the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the
network.
