3.
In Target WLAN, select one of the existing WLANs with which the users will be allowed to associate.
(Only WLANs with DPSK enabled will be listed.)
4.
In Number to Create, select the number of dynamic PSKs that you want to generate. The NXA-
WAPZD1000 will automatically populate the names of each user (BatchDPSK_User_1,
BatchDPSK_User_2, and so on) to generate the dynamic PSKs.
5.
If you want to be able to identify the dynamic PSK users by their names (for monitoring or auditing
purposes in a school setting, for example), click Browse, and upload a batch dynamic PSK profile instead.
6.
Click Generate. The NXA-WAPZD1000 generates the dynamic PSKs, and then the following message
appears:
To download the new DPSK record, click here
7.
Click the click here link in the message to download a CSV file that contains the generated dynamic
PSKs.
You have completed generating the dynamic PSKs for your users. Using a spreadsheet application (for
example, Microsoft Excel), open the CSV file and view the generated dynamic PSKs. The CSV file contains
the following columns:

User Name

Passphrase

WLAN Name

MAC Address

Expiration
To enable wireless users to access the wireless network, you need to send them the following information:

WLAN Name: This is the WLAN with which they are authorized to access and use the dynamic
PSK that you generated (passphrase).

Passphrase: This is the network key that the user needs to enter on his WLAN configuration client
to access the WLAN.

Expiration: (Optional) This is the date when the passphrase/network key will expire. After this date,
the user will no longer be able to access the WLAN using the same passphrase/ network key.
Creating a Batch Dynamic PSK Profile
1.
In the Dynamic PSK Batch Generation section, look for the following message:
To download an example of profile, click here.
2.
Click the here link to download a sample profile.
3.
Save the sample guest pass profile (in CSV format) to your computer.
4.
Using a spreadsheet application, open the CSV file and edit the batch dynamic PSK profile by filling out
the following columns:

User Name: (Required) Type the name of the user (one name per row).

MAC Address: (Optional) If you know the MAC address of the device that the user will be using,
type it here.
5.
Go back to the Dynamic PSK Batch Generation section, and then complete steps 4 to 6 in Generating
Multiple Dynamic PSKs (page 61) above to upload the batch dynamic PSK profile and generate multiple
dynamic PSKs.
The MAC address column shows 00:00:00:00:00:00 for all users. When a user
accesses the WLAN using the dynamic PSK that has been assigned to him, the MAC
address of the device that he used will be permanently associated with the dynamic
PSK being used.
