DESCRIPTION
Choose WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list box.
This field is only available for WPA2. Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to
support WPA and WPA2 simultaneously.
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
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.
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).
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK 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 Group Key Update Timer is also supported in
WPA-PSK mode. The ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal
notation.
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.
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.
Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal notation.
Enter the port number of the external accounting server. The default port number
is 1813.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you
to do so with additional information.
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 and your ZyXEL
Device. The key is not sent over the network.
