Creating PSKs

The administrator can create, update, and delete PSKs in this page. You can create a single or multiple PSKs, each PSK is assigned a single VLAN and one/multiple user accounts and devices. Navigate to Accounts > Manage Accounts and select Pre Shared Keys. On successful guest portal authentication, the guests can view and use the administrator created PSK or can create their own as described in Guest Portal Device Registration.

• Name – Enter a unique name for the PSK

• Description – Enter a description/purpose for the PSK.

• Pre Shared Key – Create a PSK.

• Static VLAN - A static VLAN can be configured per PSK. The VLAN value can be from 1-4095.

• Device – Select the client device to associate the PSK with. Optionally, you can create a new device account here. If you select a device that is already linked to a PSK then this new PSK is applied to that device. Only unlimited device accounts of guest are displayed here.

• User Accounts – Assign one/multiple user accounts and associated devices to the PSK.
  You can tag device accounts to user accounts when creating a PSK.

Notes:

• The administrator receives an email alert when a new MPSK profile is created using a device account and the guest receives an email alert when the PSK is changed on the guest portal.

• If the admin deletes a PSK tagged to a device, then the PSK-device account association is removed.

• A guest cannot edit a PSK created by the administrator and vice-versa. The administrator cannot add guest users.

• You can configure the maximum number of devices that are allowed to get tagged to a PSK (valid range is 1 - 50) and the maximum number of PSKs allowed per guest (valid range is 1 - 10), in System > General Settings.
