Wireless Port 

Control

To control wireless stations access to the wired network, select a control method 

from the drop-down list box. Choose from No Authentication Required, 

Authentication Required and No Access Allowed. 
The following fields are only available when you select Authentication Required.

ReAuthentication 

Timer                          

(in Seconds)

Specify how often wireless stations have to reenter usernames and passwords in 

order to stay connected. This field is activated only when you select 

Authentication Required in the Wireless Port Control field. 
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         
(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).

Key Management 

Protocol

Choose 802.1x from the drop-down list.

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 Prestige when you configure dynamic WEP key 

exchange.
This field is not available when you set Key Management Protocol to WPA or 

WPA-PSK.

Authentication 

Databases

The authentication database contains wireless station login information. The local 

user database is the built-in database on the Prestige. The RADIUS is an external 

server. Use this drop-down list box to select which database the Prestige should 

use (first) to authenticate a wireless station. 
Before you specify the priority, make sure you have set up the corresponding 

database correctly first. 
Select Local User Database Only to have the Prestige just check the built-in user 

database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. 
Select RADIUS Only to have the Prestige just check the user database on the 

specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and password. 
Select Local first, then RADIUS to have the Prestige first check the user 

database on the Prestige for a wireless station's username and password. If the 

user name is not found, the Prestige then checks the user database on the 

specified RADIUS server.
Select RADIUS first, then Local to have the Prestige first check the user 

database on the specified RADIUS server for a wireless station's username and 

password. If the Prestige cannot reach the RADIUS server, the Prestige then 

checks the local user database on the Prestige. When the user name is not found 

or password does not match in the RADIUS server, the Prestige will not check the 

local user database and the authentication fails.
