Open Settings
Open security does not utilize any encryption methodology, but requires an SSID (alpha-numeric) entry.
This entry must match the Network Name (SSID) entry of the target WAP so the panel knows what
device it is using to communicate with the network.
 Refer to the Configuring a Wireless Network Access section on page 21 for further details on
these security options.
 Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 22.
WEP Settings
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.
Open 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.
• If this field is left blank, the panel will attempt to connect to the first available
WAP.
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.

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.
