Configuring Additional WPA
Settings
Use two optional settings to configure a pre-shared key on the access point and
adjust the frequency of group key updates.
Setting a Pre-shared Key
To support WPA on a wireless LAN where 802.1X-based authentication is not
available, you must configure a pre-shared key on the access point. You can enter
the pre-shared key as ASCII or hexadecimal characters. If you enter the key as
ASCII characters, you enter between 8…63 characters, and the access point
expands the key by using the process described in the document:
Password-based
Cryptography Standard (RFC2898). If you enter the key as hexadecimal
characters, you must enter 64 hexadecimal characters.
