Joining a 128-Bit Encrypted Wireless Network
If you want to join a wireless network that requires 128-bit encryption, you have two 
options for entering a password, depending on the password scheme the network 
administrator has set up.
If you were given a password that is 13 characters, enter it exactly. Thirteen-character 
passwords are usually case-sensitive.
Example:  
password12345
If you were given a password that is 26 characters, put a dollar sign (
$
) before the 
password. Twenty-six-character passwords may be case-sensitive.
Example:  
$12345678901234567890abcdef
If you need additional information on your 128-bit password, contact your network 
administrator.
Joining a WPA Personal Network
If you want to join a wireless network that is protected by WPA Personal (also known as 
Pre-Shared Key), you must enter either an ASCII password of 8 to 63 ASCII characters, or 
a hexadecimal password of exactly 64 hexadecimal characters. Check with your system 
administrator to find out which to use.
Joining a WPA Enterprise Network
If you are joining a WPA Enterprise network, you were probably given an Internet 
Connect configuration file that contains network settings specific to the network you 
want to join. Double-click the configuration file to open it in Internet Connect. If 
prompted, enter the user name and password you were given for the network, and if 
necessary, choose the network from the Wireless Network pop-up menu.
Once the network settings are in Internet Connect, you should be able to choose the 
WPA Enterprise network from the AirPort status menu. You may be prompted for your 
user name and password.
Some authentication protocols, such as TLS, require a digital certificate to authenticate 
the user before joining the network. If your network administrator gave you a digital 
certificate file, open it in Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities), 
authenticate your network credentials, and join the network.
Check with your network administrator for more information about digital certificates 
and joining a WPA Enterprise network.
