DESCRIPTION

 

 

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 built-in database on the ZyAIR. The RADIUS is an external

 

server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the ZyAIR should use

 

(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 built-in user

 

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.
