WPA Mixed Mode

The ZyAIR can operate in WPA Mixed Mode, which supports both clients running

 

WPA and clients running dynamic WEP key exchange with 802.1x in the same Wi-Fi

 

network.

 

Select Enable to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, select Disable.

 

 

WPA Group Key

The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK

Update Timer

key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new

 

group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of

 

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).
