The following table describes the wireless LAN security labels in this screen.
Table 36   Wireless: WPA/WPA2
LABEL
DESCRIPTION
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 WPA2 and WPA wireless clients be able to 
communicate with the P-660HWP-Dx even when the P-660HWP-Dx is using 
WPA2-PSK or WPA2.
ReAuthentication 
Timer (In Seconds)
Specify how often wireless clients have to resend usernames and passwords in 
order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. 
The default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). 
Note: If wireless client authentication is done using a 
RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the 
RADIUS server has priority.
Idle Timeout (In 
Seconds)
The P-660HWP-Dx automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wired 
network after a period of inactivity. The wireless client needs to enter the 
username and password again before access to the wired network is allowed. 
The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
Group Key Update 
Timer (In Seconds)
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA-PSK/
WPA2-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. Setting of the Group Key Update Timer 
is also supported in WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mode. The default is 1800 seconds 
(30 minutes).
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. The default port 
number is 1812
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you 
to do so with additional information. 
Shared Secret
Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared 
between the external authentication server and the P-660HWP-Dx.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your P-
660HWP-Dx. The key is not sent over the network. 
Accounting Server (optional)
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the external accounting server in dotted decimal notation.
Port Number
Enter the port number of the external accounting server. The default port number 
is 1813
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you 
to do so with additional information. 
Shared Secret
Enter a password (up to 31 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared 
between the external accounting server and the P-660HWP-Dx.
The key must be the same on the external accounting server and your P-
660HWP-Dx. The key is not sent over the network.
