LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Name

Type a name to identify this security profile.

Security Mode

Select 8021X-Static64 or 8021X-Static128 from the drop-down list.

Key 1 to Key 4

If you chose 8021X-Static64 in the Security Mode field, then enter any 5

characters (ASCII string) or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by

0x for each key.

If you chose 8021X-Static128 in the Security Mode field, then enter 13 characters

(ASCII string) or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F") preceded by 0x for each

key.
There are four data encryption keys to secure your data from eavesdropping by

unauthorized wireless users. The values for the keys must be set up exactly the

same on the access points as they are on the wireless clients.

ReAuthentication

Timer

Specify how often wireless clients have to resend user names and passwords in

order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 600 and 65535 seconds.
If wireless client 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 client from the wireless

network after a period of inactivity. The wireless client 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 client 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.
Enter a time interval between 600 and 65535 seconds.

Authentication

Databases

Click Local User to go to the Local User Database screen where you can view

and/or edit the list of users and passwords. Click RADIUS to go to the RADIUS

screen where you can configure the ZyXEL Device to check an external RADIUS

server.
