LABEL		DESCRIPTION
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 reenter usernames and passwords in
Timer (in	order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The
seconds)	default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
		) If wireless station authentication is done
		using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication
		timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
Idle Timeout	The HomeSafe 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).
