LABEL DESCRIPTION
ReAuthentication
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).
If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS
server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has
priority.
Idle Timeout (in
Seconds)
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.
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Port Control field. The default time interval is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
Authentication
Databases
This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless
Port Control field.
The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local
user database is the built-in database on the ZyAIR. The RADIUS is an external
server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the ZyAIR should use
(first) to authenticate a wireless station.
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding
database correctly first.
Select Local User Database Only to have the ZyAIR just check the built-in user
database on the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password.
Select RADIUS Only to have the ZyAIR just check the user database on the
specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password.
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on
the ZyAIR for a wireless station's username and password. If the user name is not
found, the ZyAIR then checks the user database on the specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the ZyAIR first check the user database on
the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. If the
ZyAIR cannot reach the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR then checks the local user
database on the ZyAIR. When the user name is not found or password does not
match in the RADIUS server, the ZyAIR will not check the local user database and
the authentication fails.
