PSK or WPA2-PSK be used exclusively by the STA Interface, or
you can configure it to be able to use either by selecting
WPA2-
Mixed-PSK
.
Pre-shared key mode differs from enterprise mode in that PSK
bases initial key generation on a user-specified key or
passphrase instead of through digital certificates. Like
enterprise-mode, PSK mode generates encryption keys
dynamically and exchange keys automatically with connected
devices at user-specified intervals.

On the Add Station Mode screen, these additional settings
apply to
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA2-Mixed-PSK selections:
Rekey Period - specifies the interval at which new keys are
negotiated. Specify a new interval in whole seconds
between
1 and 2147483647, inclusive, or 0 (zero) to permit
the same key to be used for the duration of the session.
Key Type - determines whether the specified key is an ascii
passphrase or a
hexadecimal key.
WPA Key and Confirm WPA Key - specify the preshared key
itself, as:
a plaintext passphrase between 8 and 63 characters in
length, when
ascii is selected for Key Type, above.
a 64-digit hexadecimal string, when hex is selected for
Key Type, above.
