EAP-FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) security was designed for wireless environments
where security and ease of setup are equally desirable. EAP-FAST uses a certificate file, however it can be
configured to download the certificate automatically the first time the panel attempts to authenticate itself.
Automatic certificate downloading is convenient but slightly less secure, since its the certificate is transferred
wirelessly and could theoretically be "sniffed-out".

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 to 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.
Opens an on-screen keyboard to enter an IT provided alphanumeric string
which (similar to the username) is used as the identity, but that does not
represent a real user.
This information is used as a fictitious name which might be seen by sniffer
programs during the initial connection and setup process between the panel
and the Radius server. In this way the real identity (username) is protected.
Typically, this is in the form of a fictitious username, such as
anonymous@amx.com
