LABEL DESCRIPTION
SSID Select Select the SSID for which you are configuring security settings.
Security Mode Choose WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list box.
WPA Compatible This check box is available only when you select WPA2 in the Security Mode field.
Select the check box to have both WPA wireless clients be able to communicate with
the GPON Device even when the GPON Device is using WPA2.
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 GPON Device.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your GPON
Device. The key is not sent over the network.
Group Key Update
Timer
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the RADIUS server (if using
WPA(2) key management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying
process is the WPA(2) equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and
all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis. The GPON Device default is 1800 seconds
(30 minutes).
