from the list. This engages or disengages Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) version 2 authentication using
the Pre-Shared Key (PSK) method.
Notes: 1) The next option (step 4) is dimmed unless WPA,
WPA2, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is Enabled. 2) For optimum
security, the same authentication and encryption methods
(step 4) should be used for the WA840 and all devices with
which it will communicate. However, multiple methods can
be used. For example, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK can be
enabled concurrently to support devices with mixed
capabilities. Refer to "Authentication Methods" in Section 3
in the User Guide for details.
4 In the WPA Encryption box, select an encryp-
tion method:
TKIP – engages the Temporal key
Integrity Protocol
AES – engages the Advanced Encryption
Standard
TKIP + AES – supports a mix of devices
using these two encryption methods
Notes: 1)The next option (step 5) is dimmed unless WPA,
WPA2, WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is Enabled. 2) Using at least

you apply the changes, you can select the Show button to
display the pass phrase in a small dialog box.
