DESCRIPTION
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the
Wireless Port Control field. Also set the Authentication Databases field to
RADIUS Only. Local user database may not be used.
Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access
points without using Dynamic WEP Key Exchange.
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.
Up to 32 stations can access the ZyXEL device when you configure Dynamic
WEP Key Exchange.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols) when you select WPA-PSK in the Key Management
Protocol field.
Select Enable to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, select Disable and
configure Data Privacy for Broadcast/Multicast packets field.
The WPA Broadcast/Multicast 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 WPA Broadcast/
Multicast Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK mode. The ZyXEL
device default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The
RADIUS is an external server.
When you configure Key Management Protocol to WPA, the Authentication
Databases must be RADIUS Only.
Select RADIUS Only to have the ZyXEL device just check the user database
on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and
password.
