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).

 

 

Group Key Update

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSKkey

Timer

management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new

 

group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of

 

automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a

 

periodic basis. Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-

 

PSK mode. The ZyAIR default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
