Eap-Leap Settings - AMX Modero ViewPoint MVP-5200i Operation/Reference Manual

If no server certificate will be used, this field should be left blank. If the field contains a file name, then a valid
certificate file with the same file name must be previously installed on the panel. Otherwise the authentication
process will fail.

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an Enterprise authentication protocol that can be used in both
wired and wireless network environments. EAP requires the use of an 802.1x Authentication Server, also
known as a Radius server. The configuration fields described below take variable length strings as inputs. An
on-screen keyboard is opened when these fields are selected.
LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication information
securely in 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. However, it can be utilized
successfully by implementing sufficiently complex passwords.
EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where having a client or server certificate
validation scheme in place is not required, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless network.

SSID (Service Set Identifier):
Identity:
MVP-5200i 5.2" Modero® ViewPoint® Touch Panel with Intercom
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 the wireless network.
• NXA-WAP200Gs use AMX as their default SSID.
• With EAP security, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point detected that supports
EAP. However, a successful connection is not guaranteed because the
detected WAP may be connected to a RADIUS server, which may not
support this EAP type and/or have the proper user identities configured.
Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter an EAP Identity string (used by the
panel to identify itself to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server).
Note: This information is similar to a username used to login to a secured
server or workstation. This works in tandem with the Password string which is
similar to the password entered to gain access to a secured workstation.
Typically, this is in the form of a username such as jdoe@amx.com.
