DESCRIPTION

 

ReAuthentication

Specify how often wireless clients have to resend user names and passwords in

 

Timer

order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 600 and 65535 seconds.

 

 

If wireless client authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the

 

 

reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.

 

 

 

 

Idle Timeout

The ZyWALL automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wireless network

 

 

after a period of inactivity. The wireless client needs to send the username and

 

 

password again before it can use the wireless network again. Some wireless

 

 

clients may prompt users for a username and password; other clients may use

 

 

saved login credentials. In either case, there is usually a short delay while the

 

 

wireless client logs in to the wireless network again.

 

 

This value is usually smaller when the wireless network is keeping track of how

 

 

much time each wireless client is connected to the wireless network (for example,

 

 

using an authentication server). If the wireless network is not keeping track of this

 

 

information, you can usually set this value higher to reduce the number of delays

 

 

caused by logging in again.

 

 

Enter a time interval between 600 and 65535 seconds.
