Configuring a Wireless Client for WPA

If you enabled WPA and set a PSK Passphrase by configuring WPA on the SVG2500, you must configure the same passphrase (key) on each wireless client. The SVG2500 cannot authenticate a client if:

•WPA is enabled on the SVG2500 but not on the client

•The client passphrase does not match the SVG2500 PSK Passphrase

Caution!

Never provide the PSK Passphrase to anyone who is not authorized to use your

WLAN.
