must use the same WEP key for data transmission.
If you chose 64-bit WEP, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose 128-bit WEP, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal
characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be used at any one time. The
default key is key 1.
ReAuthentication
Timer (in
seconds)
Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter 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).
If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS
server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has
priority.
Idle Timeout The ZyAIR 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).
