More AP Screen
This screen allows you to enable and configure multiple wireless networks and guest wireless
network settings on the EMG2926-Q10A.
You can configure up to four SSIDs to enable multiple BSSs (Basic Service Sets) on the EMG2926-
Q10A. 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.

. The following screen displays.
PMK Cache Period
This field is available only when you select
WPA2
.
Specify how often wireless clients have to resend usernames and passwords in order
to stay connected. Enter a time interval between 10 and 999999 minutes.
Note: If wireless client authentication is done using a RADIUS server, the
reauthentication timer on the RADIUS server has priority.
Pre-Authentication
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

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.
You need not change this value unless your network administrator instructs you to do
so with additional information.
Shared Secret
Enter a password (up to 127 alphanumeric characters) as the key to be shared
between the external authentication server and the EMG2926-Q10A.
The key must be the same on the external authentication server and your EMG2926-
Q10A. The key is not sent over the network.
Session Timeout
The EMG2926-Q10A 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.
Enter the time in seconds from 0 to 999999.
