Table 39 Wireless: WPA(2)-PSK

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
Security Mode	Choose WPA-PSKor WPA2-PSKfrom the drop-down list box.
WPA Compatible	This field is only available for WPA2-PSK. Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device
	to support WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK simultaneously.
Pre-Shared Key	The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSKare the same.
	The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-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 resend usernames and passwords in
Timer (in seconds)	order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The
	default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).

	Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS
	server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has
	priority.
Idle Timeout	The ZyXEL Device 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).
Group Key Update	The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA(2)-PSK
Timer	key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a
	new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of
	automatically changing the WEP 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 ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
