WPA
Activating WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) in the Wireless Advanced Settings
screen generates the “Wireless WPA Settings” screen.
There are two levels of WPA. “Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for Home Network” is for
home network security. To set up a PSK (Pre-Shared Key), enter 8-63 alphanu-
meric characters in the text box. All wireless-enabled devices must support WPA
and know the PSK to join the network.
The “Group Key Interval,” “Server IP Address,” “Port,” and “Secret” text boxes are
enterprise network specific, and should only be accessed by an information sys-
tems professional. See “WEP+802.1x” on the previous page for more information.
