Prestige 2602H/HW Series User’s Guide
Chapter 5 Wireless LAN (P2602HW Models) 101
• A wireless station computer must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant software. Not all
Windows operating systems support IEEE 802.1x (see the Microsoft web site for details).
For other operating systems, see their documentation. If your operating system does not
support IEEE 802.1x, then you may need to install IEEE 802.1x client software.
• An optional network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and accounting.
Select Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field and 802.1x in the Key
Management Protocol field to display the next screen.

Timer
(in Seconds)
Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter usernames and passwords in
order to stay connected. This field is activated only when you select
Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field.
Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is
1800 seconds (30 minutes).
Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS
server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has
priority.

The Prestige 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.
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the
