DESCRIPTION

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).

 

 

Group Key Update

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a

Timer

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

 

equivalent of automatically changing the group 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 NWA default

 

is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
