DESCRIPTION
Select the SSID for which you are configuring security settings.
Choose WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK from the drop-down list box.
This check box is available only when you select WPA2-PSK in the Security Mode
field.
Select the check box to have both WPA-PSK wireless clients be able to communicate
with the GPON Device even when the GPON Device is using WPA2-PSK.
The encryption mechanisms used for WPA(2) and WPA(2)-PSK are the same. The
only difference between the two is that WPA(2)-PSK uses a simple common
password, instead of user-specific credentials.
Type a pre-shared key from 8 to 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces
and symbols).
The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP (if using WPA(2)-PSK key
management) sends a new group key out to all clients. The re-keying process is the
WPA(2) equivalent of automatically changing the WEP key for an AP and all stations in
a WLAN on a periodic basis.
