Configure Security

To keep networks secure, Honeywell recommends authentication combined with a protocol that supports authentication methods.

To secure web server communications, VoiceConsole supports HTTPS. To secure the device connectivity on a wireless network, VoiceConsole uses Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP).

• Enabling HTTPS involves obtaining and installing a certificate. See Installing a certificate for detailed steps.
• Enabling EAP consists of the following procedures. This section describes the first two procedures. See VoiceConsole help for more details of loading device profiles.
  • Configuring EAP for each site
  • Creating device profiles with EAP selected
  • Loading the device profiles

These security configurations should be performed by a System Administrator, or the settings should be provided by a System Administrator.
