LABEL		DESCRIPTION
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).
Authentication	The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local
Databases	user database is the built-in database on the HomeSafe. The RADIUS is an
	external server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the HomeSafe
	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 HomeSafe just check the built-in
	user database on the HomeSafe for a wireless station's username and password.
	Select RADIUS Only to have the HomeSafe 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 HomeSafe first check the user
	database on the HomeSafe for a wireless station's username and password. If the
	user name is not found, the HomeSafe then checks the user database on the
	specified RADIUS server.
	Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the HomeSafe first check the user
	database on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and
	password. If the HomeSafe cannot reach the RADIUS server, the HomeSafe then
	checks the local user database on the HomeSafe. When the user name is not found
	or password does not match in the RADIUS server, the HomeSafe will not check
	the local user database and the authentication fails.
Preamble	Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short or
	Dynamic. The default setting is Long. See the section on preamble for more
	information.
802.11 Mode	Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
	associate with the HomeSafe.
	Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
	associate with the HomeSafe.
	Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
	devices to associate with the HomeSafe. The transmission rate of your HomeSafe
	might be reduced.
Max. Frame Burst	Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks
	(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the
	performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks.
	Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the
	HomeSafe transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.
	Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
	recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature. The default is 650.
Apply	Click Apply to save your changes back to the HomeSafe.
