9.5.5 Wireless LAN Advanced Setup

To configure advanced wireless settings, click the Advanced Setup button in the General
screen. The screen appears as shown.

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

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

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

PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management)

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

equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a

WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting of the WPA Group Key Update Timer is also

supported in WPA-PSK mode. The ZyXEL Device default is 1800 seconds (30

minutes).

Authentication Server

IP Address

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

notation.

Port Number

Enter the port number of the external authentication server. The default port

number is 1812.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you

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 ZyXEL Device.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your ZyXEL

Device. 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

Enter the port number of the external accounting server. The default port number

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

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 accounting server and the ZyXEL Device.
The key must be the same on the external accounting server and your ZyXEL

Device. The key is not sent over the network.
