Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - Overview
The Wireless Settings page allows a user to select from up to eight available wireless security methods
now available via the NXA-WC80211GCF Wi-Fi card. The new security methods incorporate the
following security technology: WPA, WPA2, and EAP (some of which require the upload of unique
certificate files to a target panel). Refer to the Appendix B - Wireless Technology section on page 189 for
more further information.
Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - Open (Clear Text)
An Open security method does not utilize any encryption methodology but does require that an SSID
(alpha-numeric) be entered. Using this method causes network packets to be sent out as unencrypted
text. Refer to the Configuring a Wireless Connection section on page 57 for further details on these
security options. Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 59 for more information on
using this feature. Pressing the Open (Clear Text) button opens the Open (Clear Text) Settings dialog.

SSID (Service Set Identifier): The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and then assigned to all
panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.
• This is required by the WAP before the panel is permitted to join the
wireless network.
• It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any
keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network.
• This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users
on the same network.
• From the Network Name (SSID) keyboard, enter the SSID name used on
your target Wireless Access Point (case sensitive).
- The card should be given the SSID used by the target WAP.
- If this field is left blank, the unit will attempt to connect to the first
available WAP. By default, all WAP200Gs use AMX as their assigned
SSID value.
• One of the most common problems associated with connection to a WAP
arise because the SSID was not entered properly. You must maintain the
same case when entering the SSID information. ABC is not the same as
Abc.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored SSID information.
Save/Cancel: • Use the Save button to store the new security information, incorporate it,
and then return to the previous Wireless Settings page.
• Use the Cancel button to cancel any updates to the security parameters
and return to the previous Wireless Settings page.
