ReAuthenticati

on Timer

Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in 

order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds.

Idle Timeout

The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wireless 

network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the username 

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

clients can do this automatically; some wireless clients cannot, in which case the user 

has to enter the information again. In either case, there is usually a short delay while 

the wireless client logs in to the wireless network again.
Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. This value is usually smaller 

when the wireless network is keeping track of how much time each wireless station 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 minimize the number of delays caused by logging in again.

Authentication 

Server

IP Address

Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal notation.

Port Number

Enter the port number of the external authentication server. You need not change this 

value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so.

Shared Secret

Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) to be shared between the 

external authentication server and the ZyXEL Device. The key must be the same on 

the external authentication server. The key is not sent over the network.
