    Appendix A: Text Formatting Text Formatting Codes for Bargraphs/Joysticks Text formatting codes for bargraphs provide a mechanism to allow a portion of a bargraphs text to be dynamically provided information about the current status of the level (multistate and traditional). These codes are entered into the text field along with any other text.

  • Page 210: Text Area Input Masking

    Text Area Input Masking Text Area Input Masking can be used to limit the allowed/correct characters that are entered into a text area. For example, in working with a zip code, a user could limit the entry to a max length of only 5 characters but, with input masking, you could limit them to 5 mandatory numerical digits and 4 optional numerical digits.

  • Page 211: Input Mask Ranges

    Refer to the following Send Commands for more detailed information: • ^BIM - Sets the input mask for the specified addresses. (see the ^BIM section on page 141). • ^BMF subcommand ^BMF section on page 143). These ranges allow a user to specify the minimum and maximum numeric value for a field. Only one range is allowed per field.
  • Page 212 A keyboard entry using normal text entry is straightforward. However, once an input mask is applied, the behavior of the keyboard needs to change to accommodate the input mask's requirement. When working with masks, any literal characters in the mask will be "skipped" by any cursor movement including cursor keys, backspace, and delete.

    Appendix B - Wireless Technology Overview of Wireless Technology 802.11b/2.4 GHz and 802.11a/5 GHz are the two major WLAN standards and both operate using radio frequency (RF) technology. Together the two standards are together called Wi-Fi and operate in frequency bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. The 802.11b specification was the first to be finalized and reach the marketplace.

  • Page 217 TKIP Short for Temporal Key Integration, is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless LANs. TKIP provides per-packet key mixing, message integrity check and re-keying mechanism, thus ensuring every data packet is sent with its own unique encryption key. Key mixing increases the complexity of decoding the keys by giving the hacker much less data that has been encrypted using any one key.
  • Page 218 WPA2 Also know as IEEE 802.11i, is an amendment to the 802.11 standard specifying security mechanisms for wireless networks. The 802.11i scheme makes use of the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) block cipher; WEP and WPA use the RC4 stream cipher. The 802.11i architecture contains the following components: 802.1X for authentication (entailing the use of EAP and an authentication server), RSN for keeping track of associations, and AES-based CCMP to provide confidentiality,...

EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also known as a Radius server.

    EAP Authentication goes a step beyond just encrypting data transfers, but also requires that a set of credentials be validated before the client (panel) is allowed to connect to the rest of the network (FIG. 98).
