LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Security Mode | Choose WPA or WPA2 from the |
|
|
WPA Compatible | This check box is available only when you select |
| in the Security Mode field. |
| Select the check box to have both |
| be able to communicate with the ZyXEL Device even when the ZyXEL |
| Device is using |
|
|
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. |
|
|
Idle Timeout | The ZyXEL Device 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). |
|
|
Group Key | The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using |
Update Timer | |
| 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. |
| |
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. |
| 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. |
