WAP321 - not accepting WPA2 PSK longer than 32 characters?

I just got one of these and it works pretty good except I can't get it to take more than a 32 character WPA2 PSK.  Tried using Firefox and IE and it doesn't make a difference.  This is for my house.  I'm retiring an old Cisco 1200 series AP and as well as a Cisco 1130.  Using the same PSK and it doesn't work.  Even if I just put 32 characters and just try typing more characters, it doesn't accept any more.
Running 1.0.0.3 code and don't see anything newer or any firmware for it for that matter.
Thanks!

Hi, My name is Eric Moyers. I am a Network Support Engineer in the Cisco Small Business Support Center. Thank you for using the Cisco Community Post Forums.
You may not have to change anything. When using the Password Complexity and WPA-PSK Complexity look at the Character Class
What number are you using?
1 means your password only has to contain upper or lower or numbers or special characters as the password – like 8646061866, or ciscotest or CISCOTEST
2 means contain at least two of the four - like cisco1234 or CISCO1234
3 means contains three of the four – like Cisco@@@@ or cisco12!!
4 means contain all four – Like C!5c0t35t

  • WAP321 not accepting firmware image

    Hi all, in a building I have 2 cisco wap321, one with software v1.0.2.3 and the other with v1.0.0.3. I wanted to set up a cluster so I decided to upgrade both of them to the latest firmware v1.0.5.3. With the first one I didn't have any issue, but with the last one It seems to not accepting the firmware image, It loads the image and immediately return to "Firmware Upgrade" page as it nothing happened.
    I've already tried:
    v1.0.0.3 --> v1.0.1.10
    v1.0.0.3 --> v1.0.2.3
    v1.0.0.3 --> v1.0.5.3
    Any Ideas?
    Do you need more information?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Thnaks Saurav, but I've already followed that guide. Also I've tried different browsers.
    Is the a way to do it by CLI? Any suggestions?
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 does not import EX1 files longer than 1 hour

    I had to record a long speech and used a Sony XDCAM HD EX1 camera with a 32 Gb and a 16 Gb SXS cards. The speaker paused after 1h 26 min. I stopped the recording and waited until the green light that allows recording the segment came on. Later I recored smaller segments.
    I copied all the recorded files to the PC hard disk ( Intel Quad Core 2.4 Ghz with 3.25 GB RAM with XP Proofessional SP3).
    I used Sony Clip browser to watch the clips and all of them were perfect. Then I opened premiere Pro CS4 4.21 and I wanted to import this 27 GB file. In the media browser appeared only one mp4 file. All the short ones where imported normally but the big one freezed premiere and the only way to close premiere was with the windows task manager.
    I checked again in the Sony XDCAM clip browser version 2.6 and you can see it perfectly. There was a detail, though: in the lower part of the preview window I saw 6 marks. When I checked the file in the disk, I found that the 27 Gb file was separated in 7 parts. Each of them was 3.51 Gb and the last one 2.5 Gb. That means that the file was cut in pieces that were less than 4Gb supposed max file lenght.
    I tried many ways to import and no result. The I used the "export " of the sony clip browser. There is one choice that is "MXF for XDCAM HD". When I chose this item another panel appeared and showed a 1440 X 180 59.94i 25Mbps choice. I took it and after some time it created the 27 Gb file that I could import it normally with 4 audio tracks. But there is a drawback a "media concept" logo appeared to remeber to "buy" the program.
    Anyhow, the question is: How can I import to Premiere CS4 a MP4 file created by a Sony EX1 HD camera whose lenght is more that 1 hour long ?
    Thanks
    Wolfgang

    I think  is the contrary because the clip browser copies all the foleders needed. I got this opinion from another forum that copies into Final Cut:
    "My workflow is to create a hard drive folder for the project, then use Clip Browser to import the clips from the card. I review the clips, labelling them, adding logging notes, setting the status and putting in essence marks as needed (the number of characters available for the essence mark description is fairly limited). I then open FCP, create and save a new project then call up XDCAM Transfer. I select the project folder and it will pull in all the clips. I then filter for OK status, occasionally create subclips then import. The clips come over to the bin, with their names and with the essence marks converted to markers. Obviously there are backups taken - I've not mentioned them."

  • Ff decides for itself not to store history longer than 7 days no matter what i tell it

    i used firefox for quite some time, years actually, and history always worked without problems. i can't tell exactly when it began, but suddenly it stopped. i tried ticking each of those boxes that are mentioned in help/troubleshoot and also with just selecting remember history without any boxes ticked, it does exactly not that ... well, it does, but it's kinda useless and even more pointless when your history is only stored for the last seven days. is the month ending and turning to the first day of the next, it says today, last seven days, [name of last month] ... i'm happy, thinking, yay it works again ... only to get it deleted after the first seven days of the new month - gone. as if never existed.
    i can't bookmark each page i visit just to have some kind of history, that's kinda pointless and ludicros and defeats the whole prupose of storing a history for maybe later reference of wot i did some time ago.
    [windows xp, sp3, firefox 30]
    [on another note, but not related to the above question although it annoys me since even a longer time ... what is it with those memory and cpu spikes to 90% out of nothing ff does, no difference if there are 20 tabs open or just one blank tab?]

    @ philip ... no kind of cleaning or system tuning tools. if that would be the case, the complete history of opera would also be gone i suppose.
    task planner i never used. the only task planned is the update of the anti-virus and that's that. nothing else.
    @fredmcd ... no private mode
    afaik avira has no such setting, regarding removing data from browser. if there is, where to find? and as said above, if it would do, wouldn't operas history also be gone

  • WPA2-PSK

    Greetings -
    I currently have a Cisco AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 that is running IOS version 12.3(8)JEA1. I am trying to setup WPA2 "Personal" (WPA2-PSK) with a client running Windows XP SP2. The WLAN Nic is a Cisco a/b/g PCMCIA, driver version 2.5.0.22. I have configured the PSK on both the AP and the client and verified that I did not make a typing mistake. I have installed the Microsoft WPA2 hotfix to see if that was causing the problem but it is not. The actual problem is that the client says it's "Authenticated" but will not allow any traffic to pass through. Whenever I created an SSID NOT using WPA2-PSK, the client can ge an IP address and things function normally. Here is the current AP configuration:
    sh run

    I have tried upgrading the WLAN NIC drivers to the latest version (3.5 I believe) but it does not help. If I run the troubleshooting task of the Aironet Desktop Utility is sasys that the Authentication tests failed, even though the status shows me as "Authenticated". Perhaps there is something in the above config that I am missing.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Joe

    Check the hardware version of your AP radio(S).
    Earlier versions (ending in "20") do not support AES (used for WPA2 / 802.11i).
    You should have at least a "Radio AIR-MP31G " for your 802.11G and "Radio AIR-RM21A" for your 802.11a radio.
    THe (probably) easiest way to check this is the Web GUI ... go to INterfaces, select each band, then the "Detailed Status" tab.
    If your radios are older than this, the CLI and GUI will accept your configuration for WPA2/802.11i, but will not operate in that mode (and usually fail).
    Either radio is independently upgradeable for ~US$100.00 through someplace like www.cdw.com.
    Good Luck

    Why is my Wi-Fi greyed out?   Why does battery not hold a charge longer than a few hours?  All since upgrade to IOS 7.

    To validate the operating system and radio software complete the following steps:
    Tap Settings > About.
    In the Category drop-down menu, select  OS.
    Ensure the Radio Version is only 1 number higher than the  OS Version.

  • In Query mode, date items does not accepts more than 10 characters..Why?

    Dear All,
    In my form, While querying my date items, it does not accepts more than 10 Characters. Could it be changeable.
    Actually i want to search like greater than specified date( >01/01/2007 ).
    But i can specify like >01/01/07. After tabbing out from that item, it displays like >01/01/200.
    How to overcome this issue.
    Please help.
    Regards,
    Balaji

    You are absoletely correct Francois!
    Previously i have made a mistake that both of my maximum length and query length property to 20. That time it was not worked. Now i changed my maximum length to the old one like 11 and i changed only the query length to 20.
    Now it is working. I understood the concept wrongly.
    Thanks Francois!

  • Users receive "does not accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes" with MaximumDurationInMinutes set to 0

    Hi everyone,
    We are running on Exchange 2007.  I have a user who is attempting to book a meeting on a calendar and is receiving the error, "Your meeting request was declined. This resource does not accept meetings longer than 1440 minutes."  I know
    this is related to the "MaximumDurationInMinutes" property returned from Get-MailboxCalendarSettings in the Exchange Management Shell.  This value is currently set to 0, which I understand to mean unlimited.  The user did not experience
    this issue with other meetings and there are several meetings scheduled that exceed this limit.  I have included the results of "Get-MailboxCalendarSettings" and the email response (with some identifiable information removed) below.  Does

    Hi Derek,
    I find related information as below:
    The default options allow all users to book resources if they are within the set policies (i.e. up to 180 days in the future, up to 1440 minutes in duration, etc.), and will reject all other meetings. In the context of resource mailboxes,
    InPolicy and OutOfPolicy simply mean whether or not the meeting invitation matches any restrictions enabled on the resource mailbox. For example
    MaximumDurationInMinutes value for the resource mailbox is 30 minutes, any meeting invitation longer than 30 minutes would be considered OutOfPolicy. Using the
    RequestOutOfPolicy parameter, you can manually add users that are allowed to request meetings that are not within the policy, and if you really want to lock things down, you can set the
    AllBookInPolicy value to False, and then manually add users to the
    BookInPolicy field, or more restrictive, to the
    RequestInPolicy field.
    More details to see:
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2007/05/14/3402515.aspx
    I suggest set the MaximumDurationInMinutes parameter to a big number. Find a similar thread for your reference:

  • Getting this error when saving: Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume

    I've just tried to save a document in Pages and got this error
    Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume
    Never had a problem like this before. I haven't changed disks or formatted disks. Running latest Yosemite 10.10
    The only reference I can find to this error on the internet says that it's for applications prior to OS X which I think we can discount.
    The only other reference I can find in the support community relates to one person with problems saving attachments in Mail and dates from early 2014.
    Can anybody give me a suggestion on what I might need to do?
    Thanks

    What format are you saving to?
    Where are you saving the files to and what is that volume formatted as?
    Have you tested with files from other applications, such as TextEdit?

    I truncated the key further because in a coding tag it toasts the formatting when too long.

    Hi,
    yes, we can :-). Let say that SAP implementation supports a key with size more than 81 bytes. Then according to specification if the key is longer than block size of hash function (64 bytes for SHA-1) then it would use hash function to reduce original key to new key with size equals to output size of hash function (20 bytes for SHA-1). Therefore doing this step manually before calling SET_HMAC_KEY is equal to calling SET_HMAC_KEY which supports keys longer than 81 bytes.
    The easiest way how to check this is to compare some HMAC-SHA1 implementation with the result produced by my proposed logic.
    DATA: text TYPE string,
            key_str TYPE string,
            hash TYPE hash160x,
            key TYPE xstring,
            hmac TYPE hash512_base_64.
      text = 'Hello'.
      key_str = '012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CALCULATE_HASH_FOR_CHAR'
        EXPORTING
          data  = key_str
        IMPORTING
          hashx = hash.
      key = hash.
      CALL FUNCTION 'SET_HMAC_KEY'
        EXPORTING
          generate_random_key = space
          alg                 = 'SHA1'
          keyxstr             = key
          client_independent  = space.
      CALL FUNCTION 'CALCULATE_HMAC_FOR_CHAR'
        EXPORTING
          alg        = 'SHA1'
          data       = text
        IMPORTING
          hmacbase64 = hmac.
      WRITE: / hmac.
    Javascript version
    var hmac = Crypto.HMAC(Crypto.SHA1, "Message", "Secret Passphrase");
    var hmacBytes = Crypto.HMAC(Crypto.SHA1, "Message", "Secret Passphrase", { asBytes: true });
    var hmacString = Crypto.HMAC(Crypto.SHA1, "Message", "Secret Passphrase", { asString: true });
    Both implementations return "qsXNz/wecK4PMob6VG9RyRX6DQI=".
    Cheers
    Sorry for formatting but it looks like something is broken.

  • My wife's iTunes ID will no longer work.  Tried to reset password but did not get email, tried to reset by answering personal questions' but will not accept the correct date of birth.  Has it been hacked?  How can I fix this?

    My wife's iTunes used ID will not work.  Tried resetting the password, but email was not received.  Tried using personal questions method, but would not accept the correct date of birth, so could not go any further.  Has her iTunes ID been hacked?  How can I fix this?

    Thanks for that advice @randers4.
    I linked through and submitted my info as a "topic not covered" in the iCloud section. After entering the serial number of my MBP it turns out I wasn't eligible for technical support (though I don't think this is hardware related support) and the final suggestion was to take my computer into an Apple store. I called my local Apple reseller and asked for assistance. The customer service rep was very nice but unable to help, so suggested I call Apple Support on 1300 321 456. I did so and, again, spoke to two very polite and helpful customer service people (I was transferred to security services). I didn't have to be on hold to speak to either rep for more than a few seconds! After trying a few different things, he worked out what was happening...
    So, to cut a long story short, to solve the problem in my OP, all I had to do was log out of iCloud in my System Preferences and log back in using my current Apple ID. [Edited to add that I had to sign out of everything I was currently signed in to with my Apple ID before logging out and in again.]
    Problem solved!

  • Can automator identify file names longer than a specified number of characters?

    I have a lot of data that I need to ultimately archive to a PC solution but it currently has a lot of files with names longer than 256 characters.  I know I can batch update the names with automator, but what about an easy way to identify them?? Is there a way to identify file names based on file name length?

    Not in Automator.  There are other ways but the question is once you have the files what do you plan to rename them. You can't just cut off all the chars above 256 as this will not ensure uniqueness.
    So what convention will you use to make the names unique?
    As for getting the files. This command run in the terminal will return all filenames over N long
    ls | awk 'length ($0) > N'
    so in your case
    ls | awk 'length ($0) > 255'
    So this could be run from an Automator workflow or Applescript to capture the filenames you want to change. But again it's the renaming that is tricky.
