Chapter 9 Wireless LAN

The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen.

Table 49 Wireless: WPA/WPA2

LABEL	DESCRIPTION
WPA Compatible	This check box is available only when you select WPA2-PSKor WPA2 in the
	Security Mode field.
	Select the check box to have both WPA2 and WPA wireless clients be able to
	communicate with the ZyXEL Device even when the ZyXEL Device is using
	WPA2-PSK or WPA2.
ReAuthentication	Specify how often wireless clients 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 client authentication is done using a RADIUS
	server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server
	has priority.
Idle Timeout (In	The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wired
Seconds)	network after a period of inactivity. The wireless client 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-PSK/
Timer (In Seconds)	WPA2-PSKkey management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA(2) key
	management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is
	the WPA(2) 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/WPA2-PSKmode. The default is 1800 seconds
	(30 minutes).
Authentication Server
IP Address	Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal
	notation.
Port Number	Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The default port
	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)
Active	Select Yes from the drop down list box to enable user accounting through an
	external authentication server.
IP Address	Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal notation.
Port Number	Enter the port number of the external accounting server. The default port number
	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.
	The key must be the same on the external accounting server and your ZyXEL
	Device. The key is not sent over the network.
