Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - WPA-PSK
A WPA-PSK security method is designed for environments where its 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). 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 Static WEP button opens the Static WEP Settings dialog (FIG. 103).
Wireless Security - Static WEP (Cont.)
Current Key: Displays the current WEP key in use. Keys may also be examined by
touching the key buttons and noting the keyboard initialization text.
• 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.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored key information.
Authentication: Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open + WEP or
Shared + WEP: The choice here is whether or not the SSID is broadcast
publicly or encrypted.
• An Open system + WEP network allows connections from any client without
authenticating whether that client has permission to associate with the
network.
• A Shared key + WEP network requires the client to submit a key which is
shared by the network Wireless Access Point before it is given permission
to associate with the network. In this case the key is the same as the
WEP encryption key.
• In both cases, even after association has taken place, if WEP encryption
has also been enabled then the client will still require the WEP key to
encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate successfully with the
network.
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.
