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.
