AirWorks AWK-3121 User’s Manual Web Console Configuration
Advanced Settings
Several advanced functions are available to increase the functionality of your AWK-3121 and
wireless network system. The DHCP server helps you deploy wireless clients efficiently. Packet
filters provide security mechanisms, such as firewalls, in different network layers. Moreover, the
AWK-3121 can support STP/RSTP protocol to increase the reliability across the entire network. In
additional, SNMP support can ease the network management via SNMP protocols.
DHCP Server (for AP mode only)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a networking protocol that allows administrators
to assign temporary IP addresses to network computers by “leasing” an IP address to a user for a
limited amount of time, instead of assigning permanent IP addresses.
The AWK-3121 can act as a simplified DHCP server and easily assign IP addresses to your
wireless clients by responding to the DHCP requests from the client ends. The IP-related
parameters you set on this page will also be sent to the client.
You can also assign a static IP address to a specific client by entering its MAC address. The
AWK-3121 provides a Static DHCP mapping list with up to 16 entities. Be reminded to check the
Active check box for each entity to activate the setting.
You can check the IP assignment status under Status > DHCP Client List.
