Chapter 10 Wireless Security Screen 10.2.6 Security: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA2-PSK-MIX Use this screen to set the selected profile to WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSKMIX security mode. Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX in the Security Mode field to display the following screen. Figure 94 Security: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX The following table describes the labels not previously discussed Table 44 Security: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA2-PSK-MIX LABEL DESCRIPTION Profile 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. ReAuthentication Timer Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols). Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords in order to stay connected. The default value is 0, which means the reauthentication off. Idle Timeout Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. 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. The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour). 170 NWA-3160 Series User's Guide
