Wireless Settings
The essential settings for wireless networks are presented in this function group. Settings must be properly set
before establishing your wireless network. Familiarize yourself with the following terms before starting the
configuration process:
AP: In a wireless local area network (WLAN), an access point is a station that transmits and receives data.
Client: When the AWK-3131A is configured for Client mode, it can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless (or
LAN-to-WLAN) network adaptor. For example, a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet adaptor but no
wireless card can be connected to this device with an Ethernet cable to provide wireless connectivity to another
AP.
