DESCRIPTION

Security Mode

Choose WPA-PSKor WPA2-PSKfrom the drop-down list box.

 

 

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 WPA-PSK and WPA wireless clients

 

be able to communicate with the ZyXEL Device even when the ZyXEL

 

Device is using WPA2-PSK or WPA2.

 

 

Pre-Shared Key

The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSKare

 

the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK

 

uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.

 

Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters

 

(including spaces and symbols).

 

 

ReAuthentication

Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and

Timer

passwords in 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.
