Enter the PSK you want to use in your network in the
Pre Shared Key
field. In this example, the
PSK is
ThisismyGuestWPApre-sharedkey
. Click
Apply
.

Your guest wireless network is now ready to use.
4.2.5
Testing the Wireless Networks
To make sure that the three networks are correctly configured, do the following.
On a computer with a wireless client, scan for access points. You should see the
Guest_SSID
network, but not the
SSID01
and
VoIP_SSID
networks. If you can see the
SSID01
and
VoIP_SSID
networks, go to its
SSID Edit
screen and make sure to select the
Hidden SSID
check-box and click
Apply
.
Try to access each network using the correct security settings, and then using incorrect security
settings, such as the WPA-PSK for another active network. If the behavior is different from
expected (for example, if you can access the
SSID01
or
VoIP_SSID
wireless network using the
security settings for the
Guest_SSID
wireless network) check that the SSID profile is set to use
the correct security profile, and that the settings of the security profile are correct.
