Table 31 Wireless: WPA-PSK

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Security

Select WPA-PSK from the drop-down list.

Pre-Shared Key

The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only

difference between the two is that WPA-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 (Seconds)

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.
If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the

reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.

Idle Timeout

(Seconds)

The ZyWALL 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.

Authentication

Databases

Click Local User to go to the Local User Database screen where you can view

and/or edit the list of users and passwords. Click RADIUS to go to the RADIUS

screen where you can configure the ZyWALL to check an external RADIUS server

WPA Mixed Mode The ZyWALL can operate in WPA Mixed Mode, which supports both clients running

WPA and clients running WEP security in the same Wi-Fi network.
Select Enable to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, select Disable.
