The following table describes the labels not previously discussed

Table 25 Security: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Name	Type a name to identify this security profile.
Security Mode	Choose WPA-PSK,WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX in this field.
Pre-Shared Key	The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSKare the same. The only
	difference between the two is that WPA-PSKuses a simple common password,
	instead of user-specific credentials.
	Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
	spaces and symbols).
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).
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).
Apply	Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyAIR.
