Most wireless networks have an optional security system that requires devices
that access the network to transmit an encrypted security code called an Access or
Security Key
. The
Security Key
is based on a Pass Phrase, typically a word or a series
of letters and numbers of a specified length you were asked to enter when you set up
security for your wireless network. If you use this method of setting up the network
connection, and have a
Security Key
for your wireless network, you will have to enter
the Pass Phrase during the the automatic or manual setup process.
