Configuring the MM2211 Gateway
Configuring WPA PSK
WPA PSK configuration menu allows automatic key generation based on a single passphrase. WPA PSK
provides very strong security.
If you configure the MM2211 Gateway with WPA-PSK, you can only communicate with another AP that
is is setup with the same WPA-PSK passphrase.
1. Click the Configuration -> Wireless link in the left-hand navigation pane (Figure 7).
2. Select WPA-PSK in the Security drop-down menu.
3. Click the Edit Security Settings button.The WPA Configuration appears (Figure 11).
PassPhrase
The MM2211 Gateway supports automatic generation of four keys from a passphrase.
Make sure that the passphrase is the same as the passphrase used on the remote AP.
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click
Generate. The passphrase is case sensitive; e.g. MediaFlex is not the same as
MEDIAFLEX. The four key boxes will be automatically populated with key values.
Click the Update button to save your settings.

Key/Encryption Key
You can create an encryption key in either of two ways. If you enter a word or group of
printable characters in the Passphrase box and click Generate, the four encryption
keys will be populated. Or you can edit any of the encryption keys to match a
pre-existing key.
