Figure 46   Network > Wireless LAN > AP: WPA(2)

The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen.

Table 30   Network > Wireless LAN > AP: WPA(2)

Security Mode

Choose WPA or WPA2 from the drop-down list box.

WPA Compatible

This check box is available only when you select WPA2-PSK or WPA2 
in the Security Mode field.

Select the check box to have both WPA-PSK and WPA wireless clients 
be able to communicate with the ZyXEL Device even when the ZyXEL 
Device is using WPA2-PSK or WPA2.

ReAuthentication 
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. 

Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS 

server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has 
priority.

Idle Timeout

The ZyXEL Device 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.

WPA Group Key 
Update Timer

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using 
WPA(2)-PSK key management) or RADIUS server (if using WPA(2) 
key management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-
keying process is the WPA(2) equivalent of automatically changing the 
WEP key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis.
