Section 3 Configuration Options related to: ENABLING WIRELESS ENCRYPTION METHODS Field WPA Encryption: (RECOMMENDED) WPA Pass Phrase: (RECOMMENDED) Description Sets the encryption method(s) to be used with WPA, WPA2, WPAPSK, 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 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: (blank) 3-64 WA840
