• A wireless station computer must be running IEEE 802.1x-compliant software. Not all 
Windows operating systems support IEEE 802.1x (see the Microsoft web site for details). 
For other operating systems, see their documentation. If your operating system does not 
support IEEE 802.1x, then you may need to install IEEE 802.1x client software.
• An optional network RADIUS server for remote user authentication and accounting.
Select Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field and 802.1x in the Key 
Management Protocol
 field to display the next screen.

Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The default time interval is 
1800 seconds (30 minutes).

priority. 
Idle Timeout         
(in Seconds)
The Prestige 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 (or 1 hour).
