DESCRIPTION
If you chose 802.1x Static 64, then enter any 5 characters (ASCII string) or 10
hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
If you chose 802.1x Static 128-bit, then enter 13 characters (ASCII string) or
26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by
unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the
same on the access points as they are on the wireless stations.
The preceding "0x" is entered automatically. You must configure all four keys,
but only one key can be activated at any one time.
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and passwords in
order to stay connected.
Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. Alternatively, enter "0" to
turn reauthentication off.
Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
The NWA automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired network
after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the user name and
password again before access to the wired network is allowed.
