20  Menu Options
Periodic reauthentication serves two purposes:
 As a general security measure, it verifies that you are still on a trusted network.
 It results in distribution of fresh shared keys to your PC and access point. The
access point might use these shared keys to refresh the keys used to encrypt
data. By frequently refreshing keys, you can thwart cryptographic attacks.
To enable automatic reauthentication:
1. Go to Tools > Options > Security.
2. Select Enable automatic reauthentication.
3. Set the automatic reauthentication frequency, enter the time period (in hours)
in the field next to Reauthenticate every. You can use up to three decimal
places to indicate the number of hours.
By default, automatic reauthentication is disabled. This is because your network
administrator might have already configured your access points or
authentication server to perform periodic reauthentication. Contact your
network administrator for the proper settings for this option.
To disable this feature, clear the Enable automatic reauthentication setting. See
“Reauthentication” on page 104 for more information.
