Table 42 Security: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Profile Name Type a name to identify this security profile.
Security Mode Choose WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX in this field.
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
Specify how often wireless stations 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). 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 NWA 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).
