Table 27 Wireless: WPA(2)-PSK
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Select WPA2-PSK to enable WPA2 authentication with a pre-shared key.
WPA Compatible This check box is available only when you select WPA2-PSK as your security
level.
Select this to have both WPA2-PSK and WPA-PSK wireless clients be able to
communicate with the ZyXEL device even when the ZyXEL device is using WPA2-
PSK.
Pre-Shared Key Type a password from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces
and symbols).
ReAuthentication
Timer (in seconds)
Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter usernames and passwords in
order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The
default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS
server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has
priority.
Idle Timeout The ZyXEL device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired
network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the
username and password again before access to the wired network is allowed.
WPA Group Key
Update Timer
The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP 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.
