DESCRIPTION
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(2)-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using
WPAWPA(2) key management) sends a new group key out to all clients.
The re-keying process is the WPA(2) 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(2)-PSK mode. The ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30
minutes).
