EAP-TLS
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-TLS (FIG. 78).
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.
EAP-TLS security is designed for wireless environments where it is necessary to securely transmit data over a
wireless network by adding an additional level of security protocol via the use of a private key.

SSID (Service Set Identifier): Opens an on-screen keyboard for entering the SSID name used on the target
AP. The SSID is a unique name used by the AP, and is assigned to all panels
on that network. An SSID is required by the AP 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 AP 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 AP 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 for entering 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.
