NOTE:
For more information on WPA, see the Wi-Fi Alliance Web site at 

The AP supports two WPA authentication modes:

•  WPA: The AP uses 802.1x to authenticate clients. You should only 

use an EAP that supports mutual authentication and session key 
generation, such as EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and PEAP. See 

 for details.

•  WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key): For networks that do not have 802.1x 

implemented, you can configure the AP to authenticate clients 
based on a Pre-Shared Key. This is a shared secret that is manually 
configured on the AP and each of its clients. The Pre-Shared Key 
must be 256 bits long, which is either 64 hexadecimal digits or 32 
alphanumeric characters (see 

supports a PSK Pass Phrase option to facilitate the creation of the 
Pre-Shared Key (so a user can enter an easy-to-remember phrase 
rather than a string of characters).
