10" Modero Touch Panels
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 184 for further details on these security
options. Refer to the Using the Site Survey tool section on page 59 for more information on using this feature.
Pressing the EAP-FAST button opens the EAP-FAST Settings dialog (FIG. 109).

Wireless Security - EAP-FAST Settings
SSID (Service Set Identifier): The SSID is the unique name used on the WAP and then assigned to all
panels in a wireless network that are communicating to the same target WAP.
• This is required by the WAP before the panel is permitted to join the
wireless network.
• It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters, which may be any
keyboard character. Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network.
• This unique string identifies the network and is the same string for all users
on the same network.
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored SSID information.
Note: In all cases, the SSID of the WAP must be entered. If it is left blank,
the panel will try to connect to the first access point which can be found that
supports EAP. In this situation however, a successful
connection is not guaranteed because the identified WAP may be
connected to a RADIUS server which does not support the specified EAP
type and/or may not have the proper user identities configured.
Identity: When pressed, the panel displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you
to enter an EAP Identity string which is how the panel identifies itself to the
Authentication (RADIUS) Server.
• 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.
Note: Typically, this is in the form of a username such as: jdoe@amx.com
• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to completely erase any
previously stored identity/username information.
Required Information:
- SSID (Network Name used by the Target WAP)
- Identity (similar to the Username used for network access)
- Anonymous Identity (similar to a fictitious call-sign)
- Password (similar to the Password used for network access)
