ASCII

Select this option in order to enter ASCII characters as the WEP keys.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hex

Select this option in order to enter hexadecimal characters as the WEP keys. The

 

 

 

preceding "0x", that identifies a hexadecimal key, is entered automatically.

 

 

Key 1 to Key 4

The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the Prestige and the wireless stations

 

 

 

must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

 

 

 

If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal

 

 

 

characters ("0-9", "A-F").

 

 

 

If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal

 

 

 

characters ("0-9", "A-F").

 

 

 

You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time.

 

 

 

The default key is key 1.

 

 

ReAuthentication

Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter 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).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS

 

 

 

 

server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has

 

 

 

 

priority.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Idle Timeout

The Prestige 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).
