passwords in order to stay connected.

 

 

 

Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time

 

 

 

interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Alternatively, enter “0” to turn

 

 

 

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).
