WPA-PSK Settings

WPA-PSK security is designed for environments where is it desirable to use WPA or WPA2, but an
802.1x authentication server is not available. PSK connections are more secure than WEP and are
simpler to configure since they implement dynamic keys but share a key between the WAP and the panel
(client).
Using WPA-PSK, the encryption on the WAP could either be WPA or WPA2. The firmware in the panel
will automatically connect to the WAP using the correct encryption. The WPA encryption type is
configured on the WAP, not in the firmware.
WAPs do not display "WPA" or "WPA2" on their configuration screens:

The exact same pass phrase (including capitalization) must be entered in the access point.
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 your wireless network.
• NXA-WAP200Gs use AMX as their default SSID.
• If this field is left blank, the panel will attempt to connect to the first available
WAP.
Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter a passphrase (password).
• This alpha-numeric string must use a minimum of 8 characters and a
maximum of 63.
• The exact pass phrase string (including capitalization) must be entered on
the target WAP.
• Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the
