Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter 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).
)
If wireless station authentication is done
using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication
timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
Idle Timeout
The HomeSafe 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).
Dynamic WEP
Key Exchange
Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption. Up to 32 stations can
access the HomeSafe when you configure dynamic WEP key exchange.This field is
not available when you set Security to WPA or WPA-PSK.
Preamble
Select a preamble type from the drop-down list menu. Choices are Long, Short or
Dynamic. The default setting is Long. See the section on preamble for more

802.11 Mode
Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the HomeSafe.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to
associate with the HomeSafe.
Select Mixed to allow either IEEE802.11b or IEEE802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the HomeSafe. The transmission rate of your HomeSafe
might be reduced.
Max. Frame Burst Enable Maximum Frame Burst to help eliminate collisions in mixed-mode networks
(networks with both IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b traffic) and enhance the
performance of both pure IEEE 802.11g and mixed IEEE 802.11b/g networks.
Maximum Frame Burst sets the maximum time, in microseconds, that the
HomeSafe transmits IEEE 802.11g wireless traffic only.
Type the maximum frame burst between 0 and 1800 (650, 1000 or 1800
recommended). Enter 0 to disable this feature. The default is 650.
