The following table describes the labels in this screen.
PMK Cache This field is available only when you select WPA2 or WPA2-MIX.
When a wireless client moves from one AP’s coverage area to another, it performs
an authentication procedure (exchanging security information) with the new AP.
Instead of re-authenticating a client each time it returns to the AP’s coverage area,
which can cause delays to time-sensitive applications, the AP and the client can
store (or “cache”) and use information about their previous authentication.
Select Enable to allow PMK (Pairwise Master Key) caching, or Disable to switch
this feature off.
Apply Click Apply to save your customized settings and exit this screen.
Cancel Click Cancel to exit this screen without saving.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Name Type a name to identify this security profile.
Security Mode Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX from the drop-down list.
Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The
only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common
password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including
spaces and symbols).
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.
