DESCRIPTION

 

 

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).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Authentication Server

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address

 

Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal

number is 1812.

 

 

 

 

You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you

 

 

 

 

to do so with additional information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shared Secret

 

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

 

 

 

 

between the external authentication server and the ZyXEL Device.

 

 

 

 

The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your ZyXEL

 

 

 

 

Device. The key is not sent over the network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Accounting Server (optional)

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address

 

Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal notation.

is 1813.

 

 

 

 

You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you

 

 

 

 

to do so with additional information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shared Secret

 

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

 

 

 

 

between the external accounting server and the ZyXEL Device.
