The following table describes the labels in this screen.
9.10.2 WPA-PSK
The WPA-PSK Pre-Shared Key standard uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol)
encryption. When you choose this, the Pre-Shared 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.
The following example shows how to set up a WDS link between wireless APs using WPA-
PSK with TKIP.

WEP Key The WEP key is used to encrypt data. All of the wireless APs (including the ZyXEL
Device) must use the same WEP key for data transmission.

characters ("0-9", "A-F") for a 40/64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit WEP key respectively.
