LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Choose WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list box.
Active Compatible This field is only available for WPA2. Select this if you want the ZyXEL Device to
support WPA and WPA2 simultaneously.
WPA Encryption Select the encryption type ( TKIP or AES ) for data encryption.
WPA2
Preauthentication This field is available only when you select WPA2 .
Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client (already
connecting to an AP) to perform IEEE 802.1x authentication with another AP
before connecting to it. Select
Enabled to turn on preauthentication in WAP2.
Otherwise, select Disabled .
ReAuthentication
Timer This field is available only when you select WPA2 .
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend 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.
The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
