Wireless Port

To control wireless stations access to the wired network, select a control method from

 

 

Control

the drop-down list box. Choose from No Authentication Required, Authentication

 

 

 

Required and No Access Allowed.

 

 

 

No Authentication Required allows all wireless stations access to the wired network

 

 

 

without entering usernames and passwords. This is the default setting.

 

 

 

Authentication Required means that all wireless stations have to enter usernames

 

 

 

and passwords before access to the wired network is allowed.

 

 

 

No Access Allowed blocks all wireless stations access to the wired network.

server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has

 

 

 

 

 

priority.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Idle Timeout

The ZyAIR automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network after

 

 

(in seconds)

a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username and password

 

 

again before access to the wired network is allowed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless

 

 

 

Port Control field. The default time interval is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
