— You must also configure your clients to use this same key.

— Do one of the following:

•  Enter 64 hexadecimal digits or 32 ASCII characters in the 

Pre-Shared Key field. See 

 for a 

hexadecimal to ASCII conversion chart.

•  Enter a phrase in the PSK Pass Phrase field. The AP will 

automatically generate a Pre-Shared Key based on the 
phrase you enter. Enter between 1 and 64 characters; 
Avaya recommends using a pass phrase of at least 13 
characters to ensure that the generated key cannot be 
easily deciphered by network infiltrators.

reboot the AP for any changes to the MAC Access Control Table to take 
effect.
