Item Description Quiet Specify whether to enable the quiet timer. After an 802.1X user fails to be authenticated, the device will keep quiet for a period of time defined by Quiet Period.

TX-Period Specify the transmission interval. Handshake Period Specify the handshake interval. Re-Authenticati on Period Specify the re-authentication interval.
