Abstract
User device (12) classes are established in a communications network (100). An access point (10) utilizes a first password to create an encryption key, then generates a plurality of secondary passwords for use by devices (12). User device (12) classes are established by assigning a secondary password to a respective class of users, determining the network access permitted the class, determining the network services provided to the class and finally assigning the secondary password to a device (12') seeking to communicate within the network (100).
