DESCRIPTION

WPA Compatible

This check box is available only when you select WPA2-PSK or WPA2 in the

Security Mode field.
Select the check box to have both WPA2 and WPA wireless clients be able to

communicate with the NBG420N even when the NBG420N is using WPA2-PSK

or WPA2.

ReAuthentication

Timer (in seconds)

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 NBG420N 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).
