6.9.4 Security: WPA
Select WPA in the Security Mode field to display the following screen.
Figure 51 Security: WPA
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Idle Timeout The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wireless
network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to send the
username and password again before it can use the wireless network again. Some
wireless clients may prompt users for a username and password; other clients
may use saved login credentials. In either case, there is usually a short delay while
the wireless client logs in to the wireless network again.
This value is usually smaller when the wireless network is keeping track of how
much time each wireless station is connected to the wireless network (for
example, using an authentication server). If the wireless network is not keeping
track of this information, you can usually set this value higher to reduce the
number of delays caused by logging in again.
The default time interval is
3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
