Altitude 4700 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide
Select the Enable Reauthentication checkbox to configure
a wireless connection policy so MUs are forced to
reauthenticate periodically. Periodic repetition of the EAP
process provides ongoing security for current authorized
connections.
Set the EAP reauthentication period to a shorter interval
for tighter security on the WLAN's connections. Set the
EAP reauthentication period to a longer time interval (at
most, 9999 seconds) to relax security on wireless
connections. The default interval of 3600 seconds is
recommended.
Define the maximum number of MU retries to
reauthenticate after failing to complete the EAP process.
Failure to reauthenticate in the specified number of retries
results in a terminated connection. The default is 2 retries.
Specify an idle time (in seconds) between MU
authentication attempts, as required by the authentication
server. The default is 10 seconds.
Define the time (in seconds) for the Access Point's
retransmission of EAP-Request packets. The default is 10
seconds.
Specify the time period (in seconds) for the Access Point's
retransmission of the EAP Identity Request frame. The
default is 5 seconds.
Specify the maximum number of times the Access Point
retransmits an EAP-Request frame to the client before it
times out the authentication session. The default is 2
retries.
Specify the time (in seconds) for the Access Point's
retransmission of EAP-Request packets to the server. The
default is 5 seconds. If this time is exceeded, the
authentication session is terminated.
Specify the maximum number of times for the Access
Point to retransmit an EAP-Request frame to the server
before it times out the authentication session. The default
is 2 retries.
