Configuring WPA2-PSK Wireless Security

Not all wireless adapters support WPA2. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Make sure your client card supports WPA2. Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA2 client software for instructions on configuring WPA2 settings.

To configure WPA2-PSK:

  1. From under the Setup menu in the left-hand panel, click Security Settings.The Security Settings screen will display.
  2. From the Security Type pull-down menu, select WPA2-PSK. By default, the Encryption Type will display AES.

  3. In the Password Phrase field, enter a word or group of 8-63 printable characters.
  4. Click Apply to save your settings.

    Note: If you use a wireless PC to configure WPA settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. Reconfigure your wireless adapter to match the new settings or access the wireless access point from a wired PC to make any further changes.
