Chapter 11 Wireless LAN Table 35 Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G/5G > General: WPA/WPA2 (continued) LABEL Pre-Authentication DESCRIPTION This field is available only when you select WPA2. Pre-authentication enables fast roaming by allowing the wireless client (already connecting to an AP) to perform IEEE 802.1x authentication with another AP before connecting to it. Select Enable to turn on preauthentication in WAP2. Otherwise, select Disable. Authentication Server IP Address Enter the IP address of the external authentication server in dotted decimal notation. Port Number Enter the port number of the external authentication server. Shared Secret You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do so with additional information. Enter a password (up to 127 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared between the external authentication server and the NBG6716. Session Timeout The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your NBG6716. The key is not sent over the network. The NBG6716 automatically disconnects a wireless client from the wireless and wired networks after a period of inactivity. The wireless client needs to send the username and password again before it can use the wireless and wired networks again. Some wireless clients may prompt users for a username and password; other clients may use saved login credentials. In either case, there is usually a short delay while the wireless client logs in to the wireless network again. Apply Cancel Enter the time in seconds from 0 to 999999. Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG6716. Click Cancel to reload the previous configuration for this screen. 11.4 More AP Screen This screen allows you to enable and configure multiple wireless networks and guest wireless network settings on the NBG6716. You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service Sets) on the NBG6716. This allows you to use one access point to provide several BSSs simultaneously. You can then assign varying security types to different SSIDs. Wireless clients can use different SSIDs to associate with the same access point. Click Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G/5G > More AP.
