Chapter 5 Device Network Settings Table 37 Wireless Card: 802.1x + Static WEP (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION ReAuthenticati Specify how often wireless stations have to resend user names and on Timer passwords in order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 (Seconds) and 65535 seconds. Idle Timeout (Seconds) If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority. The Vantage CNM automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wireless network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to send the username and password again before it can use the wireless network 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. This value is usually smaller when the wireless network is keeping track of how much time each wireless station is connected to the wireless network (for example, using an authentication server). If the wireless network is not keeping track of this information, you can usually set this value higher to reduce the number of delays caused by logging in again. Authentication Databases Click Local User to go to the Local User Database screen where you can view and/or edit the list of users and passwords. Click RADIUS to go to the RADIUS screen where you can configure the Vantage CNM to check an external RADIUS server.
