LEAP (Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol) was developed to transmit authentication
information securely in a wireless network environment.
EAP-LEAP security is designed for wireless environments where it is not required to have a client or
server certificate validation scheme in place, yet necessary to transmit data securely over a wireless
network.
LEAP does not use client (panel) or server (RADIUS) certificates and is therefore one
of the least secure EAP security methods but can be utilized successfully by
implementing sufficiently complex passwords.
EAP-LEAP Settings
SSID (Service Set Identifier): 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 permit-
ted 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 your 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.
Identity: 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. Typ-
ically, this is in the form of a username such as: jdoe@amx.com.
Password: Opens an on-screen keyboard. Enter the network password string specified
for the user entered within the Identity field (used by the panel to identify itself
to an Authentication (RADIUS) Server)
Note: This information is similar to the password entered to gain access to a
secured workstation.
Save/Cancel: Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the
previous page.
Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.
