Table 27   Network > Wireless LAN > General: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

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 NBG-318S even when the NBG-318S is using WPA2-PSK 

or WPA2.

Pre-Shared Key 

The encryption mechanisms used for WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK 

are the same. The only difference between the two is that WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK 

uses a simple common password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including 

spaces and symbols).

ReAuthentication 

Timer (in 

seconds)

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. The 

default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). 

Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS 

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

Idle Timeout

The NBG-318S 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. The 

default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).
