The following table describes the fields in this menu.  

Wireless Port 
Control 

Press [SPACE BAR] and select a security mode for the wireless LAN access.  

Select No Authentication Required to allow any wireless stations access to your 
wired network without entering usernames and passwords. This is the default setting. 

Selecting Authentication Required means wireless stations have to enter usernames 
and passwords before access to the wired network is allowed.  

Select No Access Allowed to block all wireless stations access to the wired network.  

The following fields are not available when you select No Authentication Required or 
No Access Allowed. 

ReAuthentica-
tion Timer 
(in second) 

Specify how often a client has to re-enter username and password to stay connected to 
the wired network.  

This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless 
Port Control field. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 (in seconds). The default 
time interval is 1800 seconds (or 30 minutes).  

Idle Timeout 
(in second) 

The HomeSafe automatically disconnects a client from the wired network after a period 
of inactivity. The client 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). 

Key

Protocol 

Press [SPACE BAR] to select 802.1x, WPA or WPA-PSK and press [ENTER]. 

Dynamic WEP 
Key Exchange 

This field is activated only when you select Authentication Required in the Wireless 
Port Control field. Also set the Authentication Databases field to RADIUS Only. 
Local user database may not be used.   

Select Disable to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without 
using Dynamic WEP Key Exchange.  

Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP to enable data encryption.  

Up to 32 stations can access the HomeSafe when you configure Dynamic WEP Key 
Exchange.
