EAP Security & Server Certificates - Overview
The following EAP types all support a server certificate:
 EAP-PEAP
 EAP-TTLS
 EAP-TLS
All three of these certificate-using security methods are documented in the following sections. EAP
Authentication goes a step beyond just encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of
credentials be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network
(FIG. 86). Below is a description of this process. It is important to note that there is no user intervention
necessary during this process. It proceeds automatically based on the configuration parameters entered
into the panel.
A server certificate file uses a certificate that is installed in a panel so that the RADIUS server can be
validated before the panel tries to connect to it. The field name associated with this file is Certificate
Authority.
Batteries Page (Cont.)
Battery Status: • The Combined Charge Status bargraph indicates the combined power

available on the Slot 1 battery (in the panel).
• The Battery Two Charge Status bargraph indicates the power charge
available on the Slot 2 battery (in the panel).
• The Battery Dock 1 Charge Status bargraph indicates the power charge
available on the docking station’s battery #1.
• The Battery Dock 2 Charge Status bargraph indicates the power charge
available on the docking station’s battery #2.
Note: If no batteries are being charged within the docking station’s battery
compartments, or the MVP is not connected to a docking station; both Battery
Dock Charge Status fields are left blank.
• The Docking Station Version field indicates the firmware version currently
installed on the docking station.
• The Battery Level Port field indicates the port being used to report charge
status levels back to the NetLinx Master (set in TPDesign4).
