Motorola WR850GP - Manual (Page 93)

Section 3 Configuration
3-60 WR850
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 WR850 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 WR850 will communicate.
NOTE: A WPA Pass Phrase cannot be entered unless WPA-PSK or
WPA2-PSK is Enabled.
FACTORY DEFAULT:
(blank)
RECOMMENDED SETTING:
A Pass Phrase of at least 20 characters
