Refer to the Configuring Wireless Network Access section on page 29 and the Using the Wireless Site Survey Tool section
on page 30 for further details on these security options.
WEP
SSID (Service Set Identifier): Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter 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 your wireless network.
64 /128: Cycles through the available encryption options: 64 or 128 Bit Key Size .
“WEP” (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is an 802.11 security protocol designed to
provide wireless security.
• 64 enables WEP encryption using a 64 Bit Key Size. All packets are
transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• 128 enables WEP encryption using a 128 Bit Key Size. All packets are
transmitted with their contents encrypted using the Default WEP Key.
• If the key is not the correct size, the system will resize it to match the
number of bits required for the WEP encryption mode selected.
WEP Keys: This feature provides another level of security by selecting up to four WEP
Keys.
Push any of the four buttons to open an on-screen keyboard. Both ASCII and
HEX keys are supported. Up to four keys can be configured for both.
• An ASCII key utilizes either 5 or 13 ASCII characters
• A HEX key utilizes either 10 or 26 Hexidecimal characters
Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value.
Note : A 64-bit key will be 10 characters in length while a 128-bit key will be
26 characters in length. The length of the key entered determines the level of
WEP encryption employed (64 or 128-bit). 128-bit keys may be used if
supported by the internal wireless card.
Default Key: Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers to select a WEP key to
use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the corresponding
“Current Key” is displayed. Each Current Key corresponds to a WEP key.
This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to
re-enter that networks’ WEP key. It is also sometimes used to set up a
rotating key schedule to provide an extra layer of security.
Current Key: Displays the current WEP key in use.
• When working with a single panel and a single AP, manually entering the
Current Key from the AP into the selected WEP Key is recommended.
• When working with a single AP and multiple panels, generating a Current
Key using the same passphrase on all panels and then entering the
panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless Access Point is
recommended.
• Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the
keyboard initialization text.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to erase stored key
information.
Authentication: Allows only one authentication mode: Open (broadcast publicly).
• An Open network allows connections from any client without
authentication.
If WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will require the WEP key to
encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the network.
