6.1.2.3 PSK / None
Configuring WLAN Security
Open-system authentication can be referred to as no authentication, since no actual authentication and user credential
validation takes place. When selecting PSK/None, a client requests (and is granted) authentication with no credential
exchange.
NOTE: Although None implies no authentication, this option is also used when
pre-shared keys are used for encryption (thus the /PSK in the description).
