Configuring WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Wireless Security

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

To configure WPA-PSK and 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 WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. By default, the Encryption Type will display TKIP and 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.
