Chapter 7 Wireless LAN

The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Table 33 Network > Wireless LAN > General: 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 NBG-460N even when the NBG-460N is

 

using WPA2-PSK or WPA2.

 

 

ReAuthentication

Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and

Timer (in

passwords in order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between

seconds)

10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is 0 or no

 

reauthentication.

 

Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS

 

server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server

 

has priority.

 

 

Idle Timeout

The NBG-460N 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

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSKkey management) or RADIUS server (if using

 

WPA/WPA2 key management) sends a new group key out to all

 

clients. The re-keying process is the WPA/WPA2 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 NBG-460N

 

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 127 alphanumeric characters) as the key to

 

be shared between the external authentication server and the NBG-

 

460N.

 

The key must be the same on the external authentication server and

 

your NBG-460N. The key is not sent over the network.

 

 

Accounting Server

 

 

 

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.
