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.
The default value is 0, which means the 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).
