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.
FAST (Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling) was developed by Cisco
©
Systems and has been
described as being as secure as PEAP while being as easy to setup as LEAP.
EAP-FAST does use a certificate file, however, it can be configured to download that certificate
automatically the first time that the panel tries to authenticate itself. Automatic certificate downloading is
more convenient but slightly less secure since its the certificate which is transferred wirelessly and could
then be sniffed-out.
An EAP-FAST security method is designed for wireless environments where both security and ease of
setup are balanced together. Refer to the EAP Authentication section on page 205 for further details on
these security options. Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 61 for more information
on using this feature. Pressing the EAP-FAST button opens the EAP-FAST Settings dialog (FIG. 107).
