FIELD	DESCRIPTION
Idle Timeout	The ZyAIR automatically disconnects a client from the wired network after a period of
(in second)	inactivity. The client needs to enter the username and password again before access to
	the wired network is allowed.
	This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
	Port Control field. The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
Key	Press [SPACE BAR] to select 802.1x, WPA or WPA-PSKand press [ENTER].
Management
Protocol
Dynamic WEP	This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Key Exchange	Port Control field. Also set the Authentication Databases field to RADIUS Only.
	Local user database may not be used.
	Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without
	using Dynamic WEP Key Exchange.
	Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
	Up to 32 stations can access the ZyAIR when you configure Dynamic WEP Key
	Exchange.
PSK	Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces
	and symbols) when you select WPA-PSKin the Key Management Protocol field.
WPA Mixed	Select Enable to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, select Disable and configure
Mode	Group Data Privacy field.
Data Privacy	Group Data Privacy allows you to choose TKIP (recommended) or WEP for
for	broadcast and multicast (“group”) traffic if the Key Management Protocol is
Broadcast/Mult	WPA and WPA Mixed Mode is disabled. WEP is used automatically if you
icast packets	have enabled WPA Mixed Mode.
	All unicast traffic is automatically encrypted by TKIP when WPA or WPA-PSK Key
	Management Protocol is selected.
WPA	The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK
Broadcast/Mult	key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new
icast Key	group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of
Update Timer	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-PSK
	mode. The ZyAIR default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
