 Unsecured Connectivity Duration — First timeout used in the Captive
Portal Management algorithm, which regulates open access to the
Internet during the negotiation of local access credentials with an
access point provider. The timeout, expressed in seconds, defines the
extension of the time window during which the end user can negotiate
the access credentials with the access point provider, in a connectivity
scenario that is not secured by the inclusion of the OmniAccess 3500
NLG Gateway in the data path.
 Re-activation Wait Period — Second timeout used in the Captive Portal
Management algorithm, which regulates open access to the Internet
during the negotiation of local access credentials with an access point
provider. The timeout, expressed in seconds, defines the extension of
the blackout interval between consecutive attempts to obtain access
credentials from the access point provider. The blackout interval
prevents the end user from causing continuous exposure of the laptop to
external attacks with lengthy credential negotiation procedures.
