Timer
Specify how often wireless stations have to resend usernames and passwords
in order to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 9999 seconds.
Note: If wireless station authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
Idle Timeout The ZyXEL Device 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.
