Table 36 Wireless: WPA/WPA2

LABEL

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 P-660HWP-Dx even when the P-660HWP-Dx is using

WPA2-PSK or WPA2.

ReAuthentication

Timer (In Seconds)

Specify how often wireless clients 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 client authentication is done using a

RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the
RADIUS server has priority.

Idle Timeout (In

Seconds)

The P-660HWP-Dx automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wired

network after a period of inactivity. The wireless client 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).

Group Key Update

Timer (In Seconds)

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK/

WPA2-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA(2) key

management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is

the WPA(2) 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-PSK/WPA2-PSK mode. The default is 1800 seconds

(30 minutes).

Authentication Server

Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal

notation.

to do so with additional information.

Shared Secret

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared

between the external authentication server and the P-660HWP-Dx.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your P-

660HWP-Dx. The key is not sent over the network.

Accounting Server (optional)

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal notation.

Port Number

is 1813.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you

to do so with additional information.

Shared Secret
