key, you can enter the key itself in raw hexadecimal format. To enter a
PSK key in raw format, use the following command:

set service-profile name psk-raw hex

For hex, type a 64-bit ASCII string representing a 32-digit hexadecimal
number. Enter the two-character ASCII form of each hexadecimal
number.

command such as the following:
