SECURITY Page Example – Matching Settings in the WR850 and Wireless Clients
In order to securely communicate over the wireless network, the WR850 and clients must
share common authentication and encryption settings. The following example is provided
to demonstrate how you can ensure that settings are appropriately matched in the WR850
and your client devices.
For this example, we assume that:
• As per recommendations, you have enabled WPA-PSK authentication and TKIP
encryption in the WR850 with a secure WPA Pass Phrase, in this case WR850
Client Security Match Example
,
• The client is equipped with an Motorola WN825 Wireless Notebook Adapter or a
Motorola WPCI810 Wireless PCI Adapter (either of which can support WPA-PSK)
and is using the Motorola-provided wireless utility to manage the adapter, and
• You cannot immediately recall the WPA Pass Phrase, but have an established wired
connection to the WR850, or an already-matched wireless connection, in order to
retrieve the WPA Pass Phrase.
Step 1: Login to the WR850 Web-based Configuration Utility using your established wired
or wireless connection, and navigate to the SECURITY Page to find the WPA
Pass Phrase
configuration option:
Step 2: Click the Show button to the right of the WPA Pass Phrase. The following box will
be displayed:
Step 3: Write down in a safe place this WPA Pass Phrase, and move to the PC for which
the new secure wireless connection needs to be made.
