Field
Description
WPA2-PSK:
(continued)
3)
WPA2-PSK
and
WPA-PSK
(above) can be enabled
concurrently, to support devices with mixed capabilities
.
4)
WPA2-PSK
can be used concurrently with
WEP Encryption
, if
needed for backward compatibility
.
WEP Encryption
is
enabled separately from
WPA Encryption
(below).
FACTORY DEFAULT:
Disabled
RECOMMENDED SETTING:
Enabled
WPA
Encryption:
(RECOMMENDED)
Sets the encryption method(s) to be used with WPA, WPA2, WPA-
PSK, or WPA2-PSK authentication.
Selecting
TKIP
engages Temporal Key Integrity Protocol.
Selecting
AES
engages Advanced Encryption Standard.
Selecting
TKIP + AES
allows the WA840 to support a mix of
devices using these two encryption methods.
NOTE
: WPA Encryption
is greyed out and unchangeable unless
WPA
,
WPA2
,
WPA-PSK
, or
WPA2-PSK
is
Enabled.
FACTORY DEFAULT:
TKIP
RECOMMENDED SETTING:
TKIP + AES
WPA Pass
Phrase:
(RECOMMENDED)
Sets the pass phrase (or Pre-Shared Key) that will be used to
generate encryption keys, with WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK
authentication.
The entered pass phrase must be:
between 8 and 63 alphanumeric characters, or
exactly 64 hexadecimal digits (0-9, A-F).
A WPA Pass Phrase of at least 20 characters is strongly
recommended, for stronger security.
For security reasons, the pass phrase is not immediately readable,
while it is being entered. After you apply your changes to the
SECURITY Page (i.e., by clicking the
Apply
button at the bottom of
the page), you can use the
Show
button to the right of this field to
review the entered value.
This will allow you to recall your WPA Pass Phrase and enter it into
the wireless devices with which the WA840 will communicate.
NOTE
:
A
WPA Pass Phrase
cannot be entered unless
WPA-PSK
or
WPA2-PSK
is
Enabled.
FACTORY DEFAULT:
