where value is any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and takes the format number
{d|h|m|s}.
For example, to set group rekey interval to ten minutes, enter either 10m or 600s:

Increasing the time between rekeys can improve connectivity issues in noisy environments. To
disable group rekeys, set to 0. This will allow any client that has previously connected to see
all broadcast traffic on the wireless network until the Wi-Fi radio is restarted. The default is 10

Configure a Wi-Fi access point with enterprise security

The WPA2 enterprise security mode allows a Wi-Fi access point to authenticate clients by using one or
more RADIUS servers. When the Wi-Fi access point receives a connection request from a client, it
authenticates the client with the RADIUS server before allowing the client to connect.
Using enterprise security modes allows each client to have different usernames and passwords
configured in the RADIUS server, rather than using preshared key on the IX20 device.
By default, the IX20Wdevice comes with one preconfigured access point, Digi AP. You cannot delete
default access points, but you can modify them or you can create your own access points.
Note
The IX20Wdevice supports a maximum of two enabled access points, regardless of the number
of enabled Wi-Fi clients.
