The Pre-Shared key (PSK) is used to encrypt data. All the wireless APs (including

When you choose this, the Pre-Share Key you enter must have the following

 

format:

 

• Sixteen-character common key (common): all APs in the WDS share the

 

same common key. All ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) are

 

allowed.

 

• Eight-character transmission key (tx): this must be the same as the next AP’s

 

reception key. All ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) are

 

allowed.

 

• Eight-character reception key (rx): this must be the same as the next AP’s

 

transmission key. All ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) are

 

allowed.

 

• The common, transmission key and reception key are connected by '+' the

 

plus sign.
