ReAuthentication
Timer
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names 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). Alternatively, enter “0” to turn reauthentication off.
Note: If wireless station 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 station from the wired
network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the user
name 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
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 group 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 mode.
The ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
