Pre-Shared Key 

The Pre-Shared key (PSK) is used to encrypt data.  All the wireless APs (including 

the ZyXEL Device) must use the same WPA Pre-Shared Key for data 

transmission.
When you choose this, the Pre-Share Key you enter must have the following 

format:
•

Sixteen-character common key (common): all APs in the WDS share the 

same common key. All ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) are 

allowed.

•

Eight-character transmission key (tx): this must be the same as the next AP’s 

reception key. All ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) are 

allowed.

•

Eight-character reception key (rx): this must be the same as the next AP’s  

transmission key. All ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) are 

allowed.

•

The common, transmission key and reception key are connected by '+' the 

plus sign.
