NXA-WAP200G Wireless Access Point
To make your network more secure, choose the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security protocol
that is supported by the Modero panels. WPA and 802.1x are not compatible with the current
firmware versions of the Modero panels , but AMX has a roadmap to integrate these security
options in future firmware upgrades. Refer to the following table for a brief description of these
terms.
Configuration of a WEP security protocol
WEP is an encryption scheme used to protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses a
combination of 64-bit and 128-bit keys to provide access control to your network and encryption
security for wireless data transmissions. The NXA-WAP200G and current Modero panels support
both protocols.
Refer to the Wireless Device Communication Setup section on page 27 for detailed instruction on
security setup of both the Modero panels and the WAP200G.
WPA Configuration
To implement WPA, perform the following steps: (This feature is currently not supported on the
Modero panels).
1.
Check the Enable WPA box.
2.
Enter a Pass-Phrase between 8 and 63 Characters. Pass-Phrase characters are alpha-numeric.
Leave this field blank if the Pass-Phrase will be supplied by an authentication server.
3.
Select TKIP for WPA Multicast Cipher. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the
temporal key every 10,000 packets.
4.
Select TKIP for WPA Pairwise Cipher Type.
802.1X Configuration
When 802.1X authentication is enabled, the AP will authenticate clients via a remote RADIUS
server. This feature is currently not supported on the Modero panels. To implement 802.1X,
perform the following steps:
1. Check the Enable 802.1X box.
2. Select the desired authentication timeout, determined by minutes.
3. Enter the RADIUS server IP Address.
4. Enter the RADIUS server port number.
5. Enter the RADIUS server shared secret.
6. Check the MAC Address Authentication , if enabled.
Commonly Used Terms
WAP Refers to the NXA-WAP200G Wireless Access Point.
WEP Short for W ired E quivalent P rivacy, is a security protocol for wireless networks that
authenticate users, encrypt transmitted data, and protect the integrity of the data being
transferred.
• This is the currently supported method of secure communication with Modero panels.
WPA Short for W i-Fi P rotected A ccess, was designed to improve upon the security features of
WEP. This technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been
enabled with WEP. It has two main benefits over WEP communication: improved data
encryption and user authentication.
