10. (Optional) Set the amount of time to wait before changing the group key.
The group key is shared by all in clients of the access point, and after a client has

changed.

where value is any number of days, hours, minutes, or seconds, and takes the format number

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

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 TX54 device.
By default, the TX54 device comes with either one or two preconfigured access points:
n
Single-Wi-Fi models: Digi AP (Wi-Fi) .
n
Dual-Wi-Fi models: Digi AP (Wi-Fi) and Digi AP (Wi-Fi2) .
You cannot delete default access points, but you can modify them or you can create your own access
points.
