FIG. 76 Wireless Settings page - 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:

NXD-1000Vi 10" Modero® Wall/Flush Mount Touch Panel with Intercom
Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open + WEP (broadcast
publicly) or Shared + WEP (encrypted).
• An Open + WEP network allows connections from any client without
authentication.
• A Shared + WEP network requires the client to submit a key which is
shared by the network WAP before it is given permission to associate with
the network. In this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.
In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require
the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the
network.
• Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the
previous page.
• Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.
Refer to the Configuring a Wireless Network Access section on page 40 for further details on
these security options.
Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 42 for more information on using this
feature.
WPA is normally displayed as TKIP.
WPA2 is normally displayed as AES CCMP.
