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.

Group Key

Update Timer

The 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.

Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA(2)-PSK mode.
