4.) When you are done **click save password**. The password will not display in the field after saving and won't be able to see it after you click save. You may at any time return and set a new password if you forgot it.

5.) Now enter the password into your repeater under the Authentication Key under General -> Link Establishment section in the CPS.

6.) Save the code plug and then load it into your repeater. 

6.) If all went well your repeater should now connect.
