DESCRIPTION
To control wireless stations access to the wired network, select a control method
from the drop-down list box. Choose from No Authentication Required,
Authentication Required and No Access Allowed.
No Authentication Required allows all wireless stations access to the wired
network without entering usernames and passwords. This is the default setting.
Authentication Required means that all wireless stations have to enter
usernames and passwords before access to the wired network is allowed.
No Access Allowed blocks all wireless stations access to the wired network.
The following fields are only available when you select Authentication Required.
Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter usernames and passwords in
order to stay connected. This field is activated only when you select
Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field.
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 ZyAIR 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.
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the
Wireless Port Control field. The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
Choose 802.1x from the drop-down list.
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the
Wireless Port Control field. Also set the Authentication Databases field to
RADIUS Only. Local user database may not be used.
Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points
without using dynamic WEP key exchange.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
Up to 32 stations can access the ZyAIR when you configure dynamic WEP key
exchange.
This field is not available when you set Key Management Protocol to WPA or
WPA-PSK.
