WPA
Activating WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and clicking Next in the Wireless
Settings screen generates the “Wireless

WPA

Settings” screen.

There are two levels of

WPA

. The “Group Key Interval,” “Server

Address,”

“Port,” and “Secret” text boxes, along with the “

802.1

x” radio button, are enter-

prise network specific, and should only be accessed by an experienced informa-
tion systems professional. See “

WEP+802.1

x,” above, for more information.

“

PSK

String” is for home network security. To set up a

PSK

(Pre-Shared Key),

click in the circle next to PSK String, then enter at least eight alphanumeric
characters in the text box. All wireless-enabled devices must support

WPA

and

know the

PSK

to join the network.

Important: Wireless networking devices use public radio chan-

nels to transmit voice and data communications. Although

WEP

is the standard security technology used today and offers some
degree of security, Qwest cannot guarantee the security, privacy,
or confidentiality of any transmissions made via such devices,
and Qwest makes no assurances or warranties relating to their
use by you. You are responsible for all use of your Qwest

DSL

ser-

vice, regardless of the source of a transmission, whether by you
or an authorized third party, over your Qwest

DSL

service.
