Table 30 Network > Wireless LAN > General: WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK 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 NBG334W even when the NBG334W 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 Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in Timer (in order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds. The seconds) default time interval is 1800 seconds (30 minutes). Idle Timeout Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. The NBG334W 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). NBG334W User's Guide 79
