Uploading a Dynamic PSK Profile

Use the following procedure to batch generate multiple DPSKs using a CSV file that can be edited using a spreadsheet application (such as Microsoft Excel).

Creating a DPSK batch generation profile is useful if you want to customize the user names that are used for accessing the DPSK WLAN, as opposed to user names such as "BatchDPSK_User_1".

  1. Go to Admin & Services > Services > Dynamic PSK.
  2. Click Generate.
    Look for the following message: To download an example of profile, click here.
  3. Click the click here link to download a sample profile.
  4. Save the sample batch DPSK profile (in CSV format) to your computer.
  5. Using a spreadsheet application, open the CSV file and edit the batch dynamic PSK profile by filling out the following columns:
    • User Name: (Required) Enter the name of the user (one name per row). The length of the user name must be from 1 through 128 characters.
    • MAC Address: (Optional) If you know the MAC address of the device that the user will be using, enter it here.
    • VLAN ID: (Optional) Enter a valid VLAN ID.
    • Passphrase: The administrator can set the DPSK characters on their own. The DPSK length must be 8 through 62 characters. For DPSK rules, refer to DPSK Rules. If the Passphrase field is left empty, the system automatically generates DPSKs.
      Note: The administrator is not allowed to set DPSKs using the batch method.
  6. In the Dynamic PSK Batch Generation dialog box, click the Browse button to upload the CSV file you edited.
  7. Click Generate to generate the custom DPSKs that you modified.
After the DPSKs have been generated, you can download the same file (with the passphrases filled in). Click the click here link to download the latest DPSK record generated.
