Next, click Wireless > Security. Select SecProfile3 and click Edit.

Select WPA-PSK in the Security Mode field. WPA-PSK provides strong security that is supported
6
by most wireless clients. Even though your Guest_SSID clients do not have access to sensitive
information on the network, you should not leave the network without security. An attacker could
still cause damage to the network or intercept unsecured communications or use your Internet
access for illegal activities.
Enter the PSK you want to use in your network in the Pre Shared Key field. In this example, the
7
PSK is ThisismyGuestWPApre-sharedkey. Click Apply.
Your guest wireless network is now ready to use.

4.2.5 Testing the Wireless Networks

To make sure that the three networks are correctly configured, do the following.
• On a computer with a wireless client, scan for access points. You should see the Guest_SSID
network, but not the SSID01 and VoIP_SSID networks. If you can see the SSID01 and
VoIP_SSID networks, go to its SSID Edit screen and make sure to select the Hidden SSID
check-box and click Save.
• Try to access each network using the correct security settings, and then using incorrect security
settings, such as the WPA-PSK for another active network. If the behavior is different from
expected (for example, if you can access the SSID01 or VoIP_SSID wireless network using the
security settings for the Guest_SSID wireless network) check that the SSID profile is set to use
the correct security profile, and that the settings of the security profile are correct.
