Use two optional settings to configure a pre-shared key on the access point and

adjust the frequency of group key updates.

To support WPA on a wireless LAN where 802.1X-based authentication is not

available, you must configure a pre-shared key on the access point. You can enter

the pre-shared key as ASCII or hexadecimal characters. If you enter the key as

ASCII characters, you enter between 8...63 characters, and the access point

expands the key by using the process described in the document: Password-based

Cryptography Standard (RFC2898). If you enter the key as hexadecimal

characters, you must enter 64 hexadecimal characters.
