Table 33 Wireless Card: WPA
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Select WPA from the drop-down list.
ReAuthentication
Timer (Seconds) Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and passwords in
order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 65535 seconds.
If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
Idle Timeout
(Seconds) The Vantage CNM 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.
Authentication
Databases Click RADIUS to go to the RADIUS screen where you can configure the Vantage
CNM to check an external RADIUS server.
WPA Group Key
Update Timer
(Seconds) The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK
key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) 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. Setting of the
WPA Group Key Update Timer is also supported in
WPA-PSK mode.
Table 34 Wireless Card: 802.1x + Dynamic WEP
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Select 802.1x + Dynamic WEP from the drop-down list.
ReAuthentication
Timer (Seconds) Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and passwords in
order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 65535 seconds.
If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
