AirWorks AWK-3131A Web Console Configuration
Channel (for AP mode only)
Setting Description Factory Default
Available channels vary The AWK-3131A plays the role of wireless AP. 6 (in B/G/N Mixed
with RF type 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 20 MHz
20/40 MHz use, select 20/ 40MHz (Auto)
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 MOXA
the client and AP to be able to communicate with each other.
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.
