	Wireless Security
Wireless Security	Factory Default = Disabled.
	Possible Response:
	Disabled: Wireless security will be disabled on the VersaLink.
	WPA-PSK: Selecting this will enable you to set up WPA-PSK security on the VersaLink.
	WEP: Selecting this will enable you to set up WEP security on the VersaLink. The AP card
	supports 64-bit, 128-bit, or 256-bit WEP encryption. If WEP is selected, any station can
	connect to the AP (as long as its SSID matches the AP SSID).
	If wireless security is disabled, the risk of someone nearby accessing the AP is maximized
WPA Shared Key	This is a passphrase (also called a shared secret) that must be entered in both the wireless
	router and the wireless client. This shared secret can be between 8 to 63 text characters (or
	64 hexadecimal characters) and can include special characters and spaces. The WPA Shared
	Key should be a random sequence of either keyboard characters (upper and lowercase
	letters, numbers, and punctuation), at lease 20 characters long, or hexadecimal digits
	(numbers 0-9 and letters A-F) at least 24 hexadecimal digits long. The more random your
	WPA Shared Key, the safer it is to use.
WPA Group Rekey	Factory Default = 3600
Interval	The number of seconds between rekeying the WPA group key. A zero “0” means that
	rekeying is disabled.
