ReAuthentication

Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and

 

 

Timer

passwords in order to stay connected.

 

 

 

The default value is 0, which means the reauthentication off.

 

 

 

Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS

 

 

 

server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server

 

 

 

has priority.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Idle Timeout

The NWA automatically disconnects a wireless station from the

 

 

 

wired network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station

 

 

 

needs to enter the user name and password again before access to

 

 

 

the wired network is allowed.

 

 

 

The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
