Name

Type a name to identify this security profile.

Security Mode

Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX from the drop-down list.

Pre-Shared Key

The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The 

only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-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 clients have to resend user names and passwords in 

order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 600 and 65535 seconds. 
If wireless client authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the 

reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. 

Idle Timeout 

The ZyWALL automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wireless network 

after a period of inactivity. The wireless client needs to send the username and 

password again before it can use the wireless network again. Some wireless 

clients may prompt users for a username and password; other clients may use 

saved login credentials. In either case, there is usually a short delay while the 

wireless client logs in to the wireless network again. 
This value is usually smaller when the wireless network is keeping track of how 

much time each wireless client is connected to the wireless network (for example, 

using an authentication server). If the wireless network is not keeping track of this 

information, you can usually set this value higher to reduce the number of delays 

caused by logging in again.
Enter a time interval between 600 and 65535 seconds.
