Wireless Settings Page - Security Options - EAP-LEAP

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both a
wired and wireless network environment. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also
known as a Radius server. Most of the configuration fields described below take variable length strings as
inputs. Whenever these fields are selected, an on-screen keyboard appears which allows the string to then be
entered.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed by Cisco
securely transmit authentication information over a wireless network environment.
LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates and is therefore one of the least secure EAP
security methods but can be utilized successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.
An EAP-LEAP security method is designed for wireless environments where its not required to have both a
client or server certificate validation scheme in place yet necessary to securely transmit data over a wireless
network. Refer to the EAP Authentication section on page 184 for further details on these security options.
Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 59 for more information on using this feature. Refer to
FIG. 108 for an example of what a typical EAP-LEAP system configuration page would like.
Pressing the EAP-LEAP button opens the EAP-LEAP Settings dialog (FIG. 107).

SSID (Service Set Identifier):
116
Required Information:
- SSID (Network Name used by the Target WAP)
- Identity (similar to the Username used for network access)
- Password (similar to the Password used for network access)
The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and then assigned to all
panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.
• This is required by the WAP before the panel is permitted to join the
wireless network.
• It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any
keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network.
• This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users
on the same network.
• Use the on-screen keyboard's Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored SSID information.
Note: In all cases, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point which can be found that
supports EAP. In this situation however, a successful
connection is not guaranteed because the identified WAP may be
connected to a RADIUS server which does not support the specified EAP
type and/or may not have the proper user identities configured.
