G-3000 Series User's Guide
DESCRIPTION
The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired
network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the user
name and password again before access to the wired network is allowed.
The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
This is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-
keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically changing the group key
for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. The ZyXEL Device
default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK use a simple common password (called a pre-
shared key or PSK), instead of user-specific credentials. Type a PSK from 8 to
63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols).
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Disable to allow wireless
stations to communicate with the access points without any data encryption.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select ASCII to enter ASCII
characters as the WEP keys.
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select HEX to enter hexadecimal
characters as the WEP keys. The preceding "0x" is entered automatically.
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select which of the four WEP keys
the ZyXEL Device is to use for encryption.You must configure all four keys, but
only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.
The WEP keys are used to encrypt data. Both the ZyXEL Device and the
wireless stations must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
Press [SPACE BAR] and then [ENTER] to select Auto, Open System or
Shared Key from the drop-down list box.
The default setting is Auto.
