Choose WPA in this field.
WPA Mixed Mode
The ZyAIR can operate in WPA Mixed Mode, which supports both clients running
WPA and clients running dynamic WEP key exchange with 802.1x in the same Wi-Fi
network.
Select Enable to activate WPA mixed mode. Otherwise, select Disable.
WPA Group Key
Update Timer
The WPA Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK
key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA key management) sends a new
group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of
automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a
periodic basis. Setting of the WPA Group Key Update Timer is also supported in
WPA-PSK mode. The ZyAIR default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
