DESCRIPTION
This field is available only when you select WPA.
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA(2)-PSK
key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA(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).
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.
