Table 39 Wireless: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Security Mode Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box.
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 ZyXEL Device even when the ZyXEL Device is using
WPA2-PSK or WPA2.
Pre-Shared Key The encryption mechanisms used for WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK are
the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK/WPA2-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 (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 ZyXEL Device 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).
