DESCRIPTION

Security Mode

Choose WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list box.

 

 

WPA Compatible

This field is only available for WPA2. Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to

 

support WPA and WPA2 simultaneously.

 

 

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).

 

 

WPA Group Key

The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-

Update Timer

PSK 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 WPA Group Key Update Timer is also

 

supported in WPA-PSKmode. The ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30

 

minutes).
