DESCRIPTION

Key 1 to Key 4

If you chose 8021X-Static64in the Security Mode field, then enter any 5

 

characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by

 

0x for each key.

 

If you chose 8021X-Static128in the Security Mode field, then enter 13 characters

 

(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each

 

key.

 

There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by

 

unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the

 

same on the access points as they are on the wireless clients.

 

 

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.
