DESCRIPTION
Security Mode
Select
WPA
or
WPA2
to enable data encryption.
WPA Compatible
This check box is available only when you select
WPA2-PSK
or
WPA2
in the
Security
Mode
field.
Select the check box to enable both WPA2 and WPA wireless clients to communicate
with the EMG2926-Q10A even when the EMG2926-Q10A is using WPA2-PSK or WPA2.
Group Key Update
Timer
The
Group Key Update Timer
is the rate at which the AP (if using
WPA-PSK/
WPA2-PSK
key management) or RADIUS
server (if using
WPA/WPA2
key
management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the
WPA/WPA2 equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all
stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. You can set the
Group Key Update Timer
in
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
mode.
PMK Cache Period
This field is only available if you select
WPA2
.
Specify how often wireless clients have to resend usernames and passwords in order
to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 999,999 minutes.
Note: If wireless client authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
