DESCRIPTION
Type a name to identify this security profile.
Choose WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX in this field.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only
difference between the two is that WPA-PSK uses a simple common password,
instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols).
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 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.
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 ZyAIR default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
