The following table describes the labels not previously discussed

Table 46   Security: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX

Name

Type a name to identify this security profile.

Security Mode

Choose WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX in this field.

Pre-Shared Key

The encryption mechanisms used for WPA and WPA-PSK are the same. The only 

difference between the two is that WPA-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

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). Alternatively, enter “0” to turn reauthentication off. 

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

Group Key 

Update Timer

The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key 

out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically 

changing the group 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 mode. 

The ZyXEL Device’s default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes).
