EAP-TTLS
From the Security Modes options, press the Enterprise button to open the Wireless Security: Enterprise Mode
page. Scroll through the Security Type options to select EAP-TTLS (FIG. 74).
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 is similar to PEAP, but differs in the following areas:
An anonymous identity must be specified until the secure tunnel between the panel and the Radius
server is setup to transfer the real identity of the user.
There is no end-user ability to select from the different types of PEAP.
Additional Inner Authentication choices are available to the end-user.
EAP-TTLS security is designed for wireless environments where the Radius server needs to validate directly
the identity of the client (panel) before allowing it access to the network. This validation is done by tunneling a
connection through the WAP and directly between the panel and the Radius server. Once the client is identified
and then validated, the Radius server disconnects the tunnel and allows the panel to access the network directly
via the target WAP.

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 the wireless network.
• With EAP security, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
detected WAP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.
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: [e-mail].
