Select WPA2 or WPA2-MIX in the Security Mode field to display the following screen. Figure 82 Security:WPA2 or WPA2-MIX The following table describes the labels not previously discussed Table 40 Security: WPA2 or WPA2-MIX LABEL Profile Name Security Mode ReAuthentication Timer DESCRIPTIONS Type a name to identify this security profile. Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in order to stay connected. Alternatively, enter "0" to turn reauthentication off. Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. Idle Timeout The NWA 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. 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 NWA`s default is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). 138 NWA-3166 User's Guide Chapter 10 Wireless Security Screen Table 40 Security: WPA2 or WPA2-MIX LABEL PMK Cache DESCRIPTIONS When a wireless client moves from one AP's coverage area to another, it performs an authentication procedure (exchanging security information) with the new AP. Instead of re-authenticating a client each time it returns to the AP's coverage area, which can cause delays to time-sensitive applications, the AP and the client can store (or "cache") and use information about their previous authentication. Select Enable to allow PMK caching, or Disable to switch this feature off. Pre-authentication allows a wireless client to perform authentication with a different AP from the one to which it is currently connected, before moving into the new AP's coverage area. Select Enable to allow pre-authentication, or Disable to switch it off. Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh.

NWA-3166 User's Guide 139 Chapter 10 Wireless Security Screen Table 41 Security: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX LABEL Pre-Shared Key DESCRIPTION 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. Alternatively, enter "0" to turn reauthentication off. Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. Idle Timeout The NWA 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.
