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.
Setup Pages LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication information securely in a wireless network environment. LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates and is therefore one of the least secure EAP security methods but can be utilized successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.
Setup Pages FIG. 61 EAP-LEAP sample Cisco System Security page Refer to the EAP Authentication section on page 155 for further details on these security options. Refer to FIG. 61 for an example of what a typical EAP-LEAP system configuration page would like. EAP-FAST Settings Press the EAP-FAST button to open the EAP-FAST Settings dialog (FIG. 62). FIG.
Setup Pages authenticate itself. Automatic certificate downloading is convenient but slightly less secure, since its the certificate is transferred wirelessly and could theoretically be “sniffed-out”. EAP-FAST 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.
Setup Pages EAP-FAST Settings (Cont.) PAC File Location: This field is used when the previous Automatic PAC Provisioning option has been Disabled. • When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen PAC File Location keyboard which allows you to enter the name of the file containing the PAC shared secret credentials for use in authentication. • This field is only valid when the automatic PAC provisioning feature has been enabled via the previous field.
Setup Pages EAP-PEAP security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network. EAP-PEAP 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.
Setup Pages Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 22 for more information on using this feature. EAP-TTLS Settings Press the EAP-TTLS button to opens the EAP-TTLS Settings page (FIG. 64). FIG. 64 Wireless Settings page - EAP-TTLS Settings TTLS (EAP Tunneled Transport Layer Security) is an authentication method that does not use a client certificate to authenticate the panel. However. this method is more secure than PEAP because it does not broadcast the identity of the user.
Setup Pages EAP-TTLS Settings (Cont.) Identity: Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter an EAP Identity string (used by the panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server). Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string which is similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation. Typically, this is in the form of a username such as: jdoe@amx.com.
Setup Pages EAP-TLS Settings Press the EAP-TLS button to open the EAP-TLS Settings page (FIG. 65). FIG. 65 Wireless Settings page - EAP-TLS Settings TLS (Transport Layer Security) was the original standard wireless LAN EAP authentication protocol. TLS requires additional work during the deployment phase but provides additional security since even a compromised password is not enough to break into an EAP-TLS protected wireless network environment.
Setup Pages EAP-TLS Settings (Cont.) Certificate Authority: When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen Certificate Authority (CA) File Location keyboard which allows you to enter the name of the certificate authority file which is used to validate the server certificate. This field is optional. If a server certificate is used, it should first be downloaded into the panel and the Certificate Authority field should then be set to the name of that certificate file.
Setup Pages AMX supports the following security certificates PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) DER (Distinguished Encoding Rules) PKCS12 (Public Key Cryptography Standard #12) PKCS12 files are frequently generated by Microsoft certificate applications. Otherwise, PEM is more common. Certificate files frequently use 5 file extensions. It can be confusing because there is not a one to one correspondence.
Setup Pages System Settings Page The System Settings page (FIG. 66) displays sets the NetLinx Master’s communication settings. FIG. 66 System Settings page The elements of this page include: System Settings Page Elements Back: Saves all changes and returns to the previous page. Connection Status icon: The icon in the upper-right corner of each Setup page provides a constant visual indication of current connection status.
Setup Pages Mode Cycles between the connection modes: URL, Listen, and Auto. (Ethernet Only - disabled when USB is selected) • URL - In this mode, enter the IP/URL, Master Port Number, and username/ password (if used) on the Master. The System Number field is read-only - the panel obtains this information from the Master. • Listen - In this mode, add the panel address into the URL List in NetLinx Studio and set the connection mode to Listen.
Setup Pages 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. 67). Below is a description of this process.
Setup Pages 88 MVP Modero ViewPoint Touch Panels
Programming Programming Overview You can program the touch panel, using the commands in this section, to perform a wide variety of operations using Send_Commands and variable text commands. A device must first be defined in the NetLinx programming language with values for the Device: Port: System (in all programming examples - Panel is used in place of these values and represents all Modero panels). Verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master and Modero firmware.
