AirWorks AWK-3131A Web Console Configuration

3-10

Channel (for AP mode only)

Setting Description Factory Default

Available channels vary

with RF type

The AWK-3131A plays the role of wireless AP. 6 (in B/G/N Mixed

mode)

Channel Width (for any 11N RF type only)

Setting Description Factory Default

20 MHz Select your channel width, If you are not sure which option to

use, select 20/ 40MHz (Auto)

20 MHz

20/40 MHz

Channel bonding

If 20/40 MHz only is the Channel Width setting, this channel bonding will auto set the channel based on your

channel setting.

SSID

Setting Description Factory Default

Max. of 31 characters The SSID of a client and the SSID of the AP must be identical for

the client and AP to be able to communicate with each other.

MOXA

SSID broadcast (for AP mode only)

Setting Description Factory Default

Enable/ Disable SSID can be broadcast or not Enable

NOTE

The AWK-3131A-JP (for Japanese frequency bands) only connects SSID-

hidden APs for IEEE 802.11a channels,

and IEEE 802.11g/n channels 1 to 11. The AWK-3131A-EU (for European frequency bands) only connects

SSID-hidden APs for IEEE 802.11b/g/n channels.

WLAN Security Settings

The AWK-3131A provides four standardized wireless security modes: Open, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy),

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), and WPA2. Several security modes are available in the AWK-3131A by

selecting Security mode and WPA type:

• Open: No authentication, no data encryption.

• WEP: Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys must be configured manually.

• WPA/WPA2-Personal: Also known as WPA/WPA2-PSK. You will need to specify the Pre-Shared Key in the

Passphrase field, which will be used by the TKIP or AES engine as a master key to generate keys that

actually encrypt outgoing packets and decrypt incoming packets.

• WPA/WPA2-Enterprise: Also called WPA/WPA2-EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). In addition to

device-based authentication, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise enables user-based authentication via IEEE802.1X.

The AWK-3131A can support three EAP methods: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP.
