LABEL DESCRIPTION
Pre-shared Key This is a secret password that both the WiMAX Device and
the wireless client must have in common in order for the
wireless client to use the network.
As the device administrator, you can generate this key how
you see fit so long as it consists of a minimum of 8
alphanumeric letters and number. However, keep in mind
that the more complex the key, the more difficult it is to
break. The best keys consist of both letters and numbers.
Note: This key is used by all wireless clients on your
network to authenticate their connections, so be
sure to distribute it accordingly (and securely).
