DESCRIPTION
Select WPA.
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in
order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds.
The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wireless
network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username
and password again before it can use the wireless network again. Some wireless
clients can do this automatically; some wireless clients cannot, in which case the user
has to enter the information again. In either case, there is usually a short delay while
the wireless client logs in to the wireless network again.
Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. This value is usually smaller
when the wireless network is keeping track of how much time each wireless station is
connected to the wireless network (for example, using an authentication server). If the
wireless network is not keeping track of this information, you can usually set this value
higher to minimize the number of delays caused by logging in again.
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the ZyXEL Device sends a new
group key to all clients. This process changes the WEP key on a regular basis. Enter
a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds.
Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal notation.
Enter the port number of the external authentication server. You need not change this
value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) to be shared between the
external authentication server and the ZyXEL Device. The key must be the same on
the external authentication server. The key is not sent over the network.
These settings are optional.
Select this to enable user accounting through an external authentication server.
Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal notation.
Enter the port number of the external accounting server. You need not change this
value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.
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. The key is not sent over the network.
