|
ReAuthentication | Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in |
Timer | order to stay connected. |
| Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is |
| 1800 seconds (30 minutes). |
| Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS |
| server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has |
| priority. |
|
|
Idle Timeout | The ZyAIR automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network |
| after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username and |
| password again before access to the wired network is allowed. |
| The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour). |
|
|
Authentication | The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local |
Databases | user database is the |
| server. Use this |
| (first) to authenticate a wireless station. |
| Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding |
| database correctly first. |
| Select Local User Database Only to have the ZyAIR just check the |
| database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. |
| Select RADIUS Only to have the ZyAIR just check the user database on the |
| specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. |
| Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the ZyAIR first check the user database |
| on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is |
| not found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS |
| server. |
| Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the ZyAIR first check the user database |
| on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If |
| the ZyAIR cannot reach the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR then checks the local user |
| database on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or password does not |
| match in the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the local user database and |
| the authentication fails. |
Apply | Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyAIR. |
