Figure 2-2 2-3 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Getting Started What to Check before You Install the AWK-1200-AP Before installing the AWK-1200-AP for outdoor applications or hard-to-reach locations, we recommend configuring and testing all devices first. For configuring the AWK-1200-AP, please follow the steps below to power up the AWK-1200-AP (refer to Figure 2-4). Step 1: Connect the DC plug of the AC/DC power adapter into the DC Input Port of the Inline Power Injector and the wall-mount plug into a power outlet or power strip (refer to page 2-2). The Power LED on the Inline Power Injector will light up. Step 2: Run the cross-over Ethernet cable from the Data Input Port (refer to page 2-2) to the Ethernet port on a PC. Step 3: Connect the 30 m CAT 5 Ethernet cable to the AWK-1200-AP. Hand tighten the connector. Step 4: Connect the other end of the 30 m CAT 5 cable to the PoE labeled POWER & DATA OUT. This is the power side of the PoE that will power up the AWK-1200-AP. When the AWK-1200-AP receives power over the Ethernet cable, the AWK-1200-AP will start the boot up sequence, and the Active LED on the Inline Power Injector will light up. You can use a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, to configure the AWK-1200-AC from a remote host or PC. Figure 2-4 2-4 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Getting Started Basic Configuration Basic Configuration Steps This section describes a basic 2-step configuration procedure to set up the AWK-1200-AP.

The nodes on the tree represent web pages that allow viewing and modifying the parameters. Configuring Operating Mode, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Route IP, DNS Server IP LAN Settings The LAN (Local Area Network) settings for the Access Point are IP Address Mode, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway. The Access Point’s local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. This option is available in the “/BASIC/LAN/” page as shown in Figure 2-7. Figure 2-7 2-7 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Getting Started Get LAN IP From Choose DHCP (Dynamic) if your router supports DHCP and you want the router to assign an IP address to the AP. In this case, you do not need to fill in the fields shown below. Choose Static IP (Manual) if your router does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need to assign a fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the fields shown below. Note that you cannot choose DHCP (Dynamic) if you have enabled the DHCP Server option on the DHCP page; the AP cannot be both a DHCP client and a DHCP server. IP Address The IP address of the AP on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN. For example, 192.168.0.1. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of the local area network. Gateway The IP address of the router on the local area network. Local Domain Name This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the local network. The AP’s DHCP server will give this domain name to the computers on the wireless LAN. So, for example, if you enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a wireless laptop with a name of chris, that laptop will be known as chris.mynetwork.net. Note, however, that if the AP’s settings specify DHCP (Dynamic) Address, and the router’s DHCP server assigns a domain name to the AP, that domain name will override any name you enter here. Configuring the Wireless SSID Wireless Network Name (also called the SSID) When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, we highly recommend that you change the pre-configured network name. This option is available in the “/BASIC/WIRELESS/” page as shown in Figure 2-8. 2-8 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Getting Started Figure 2-8 Configuring Wireless Encryption The AWK-1200-AP supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption. For 64-bit WEP encryption, an encryption key consists 10 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 5 ASCII characters. For 128-bit WEP encryption, an encryption key consists of 26 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F) or 13 ASCII characters. Modify the WEP encryption parameters on the web page “/BASIC/WIRELESS/WIRELESS SECURITY MODE”. If you choose “WEP” enter 1 to 15 characters in the WEP Key field, and then click Save Setting, Reboot the Device. 2-9 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Getting Started Changing the Supervisor Account & Password Enter the TOOLS Æ ADMIN page, shown below in Figure 2-9.

The following topics are covered in this chapter: Basic ¾ Wireless ¾ Advanced Tools ¾ Admin ¾ Time ¾ System ¾ Firmware Status ¾ Device Info ¾ Wireless ¾ Logs ¾ Statistics MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Basic Wireless The section is where you configure the wireless settings for your Access Point. Please note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on your Wireless Client. To protect your privacy, use the wireless security mode to configure the wireless security features. This device supports three wireless security modes: WEP, WPA-Personal, and WPA-Enterprise. WEP is the original wireless encryption standard. WPA provides a higher level of security. WPA-Personal does not require an authentication server. The WPA-Enterprise option does require a RADIUS authentication server. Enable Wireless Radio This option turns off and on the wireless connection feature of the Access Point. When you set this option, the following parameters are displayed. Wireless Network Name When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, as described below). This name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, we highly recommend changing the pre-configured network name. Visibility Status The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to Visible, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you’re not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When Invisible mode is enabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network. Auto Channel Select If you select this option, the Access Point automatically finds the channel with least interference and uses that channel for wireless networking. If you disable this option, the Access Point uses the channel that you specify with the following Channel options. Channel A wireless network uses specific channels in the 2.4 GHz wireless spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may get interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of your wireless network. Transmission Rate By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting the speed if necessary. 3-2 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration 802.11 Mode If all of your devices can connect in 802.11g Mode, you can change the mode to 802.11g only. If you have some devices that are 802.11b, leave the setting at Mixed. WEP WEP is a method of encrypting data for wireless communication, and is intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. However, WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII format is provided so that you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily. A default key is selected for use on the network. Example: 64-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length. (12345678FA is a valid string of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption.) 128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length. (456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters for 128-bit encryption.) 64-bit ASCII keys are up to 5 characters in length (DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters for 64-bit encryption.) 128-bit ASCII keys are up to 13 characters in length (2002HALOSWIN1 is a valid string of 13 characters for 128-bit encryption.) WPA-Personal and WPA-Enterprise Both of these options select some variant of Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) -- security standards published by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The WPA Mode further refines the variant that the Access Point should employ. WPA Mode: WPA is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will be used with the Access Point only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the “WPA2” option, the Access Point tries WPA2 first, but falls back to WPA if the client only supports WPA. With the “WPA2 Only” option, the Access 3-3 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Point associates only with clients that also support WPA2 security. Cipher Type: The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based encryption. With the “TKIP and AES” option, the Access Point negotiates the cipher type with the client, and uses AES when available. Group Key Update Interval: The amount of time before the group key used for broadcast and multicast data is changed. WPA-Personal This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client. Example: Wireless Networking technology enables ubiquitous communication WPA-Enterprise This option works with a RADIUS Server to authenticate wireless clients. Wireless clients should have established the necessary credentials before attempting to authenticate to the Server through this Gateway. Furthermore, it may be necessary to configure the RADIUS Server to allow this Gateway to authenticate users. Authentication Timeout: Amount of time before a client will be required to re-authenticate. RADIUS Server IP Address: The IP address of the authentication server. RADIUS Server Port: The port number used to connect to the authentication server. RADIUS Server Shared Secret: A pass-phrase that must match with the authentication server. MAC Address Authentication: If this is selected, the user must connect from the same computer whenever logging into the wireless network. Advanced: Optional Backup RADIUS Server This option enables configuration of an optional second RADIUS server. A second RADIUS server can be used as backup for the primary RADIUS server. The second RADIUS server is consulted only when the primary server is not available or not responding. The fields Second 3-4 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration RADIUS Server IP Address, RADIUS Server Port, Second RADIUS server Shared Secret, Second MAC Address Authentication provide the corresponding parameters for the second RADIUS Server. Advanced MAC Address Filter The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adaptor(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adaptor. Enable MAC Address Filter When this is enabled, computers are granted or denied network access depending on the mode of the filter. NOTE Configuring this feature incorrectly could prevent machines from accessing the network. In this case, you can regain access by activating the factory defaults button on the Access Point itself. Filter Settings Mode 3-5 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration When “only allow listed machines” is selected, only computers with MAC addresses listed in the MAC Address List are granted network access. When “only deny listed machines” is selected, any computer with a MAC address listed in the MAC Address List is refused access to the network. Filter Wireless Clients When this option is selected, the MAC address filters will be applied to wireless network clients. Filter Wired Clients When this option is selected, the MAC address filters will be applied to wired network clients. Add/Edit MAC Address In this section, you can add entries to the MAC Address List below, or edit existing entries. Enable MAC address entries can be activated or deactivated with this checkbox. MAC Address Enter the MAC address of the desired computer or connect to the Access Point from the desired computer, and then click the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button. Save Saves the new or edited MAC Address entry in the following list. When you finish updating the MAC Address List, you must still click the Save Settings button at the top of the page to activate the changes. MAC Address List The section lists the current MAC Address filters. A MAC Address entry can be changed by clicking the Edit icon, or deleted by clicking the Delete icon. When you click the Edit icon, the item is highlighted, and the “Edit MAC Address” section is activated for editing. Advance Wireless Fragmentation Threshold This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance. 3-6 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration RTS Threshold This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. If you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications to the value are recommended. Beacon Period Beacons are packets sent by a wireless Access Point to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a Beacon Period value of between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds. DTIM Interval A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless Access Point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and 255. 802.11d Enable Enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless specification for operation in additional regulatory domains. This supplement to the 802.11 specifications defines the physical layer requirements (channelization, hopping patterns, new values for current MIB attributes, and other requirements to extend the operation of 802.11 WLANs to new regulatory domains, or countries). The current 802.11 standard defines operation in only a few regulatory domains (countries). This supplement adds the requirements and definitions necessary to allow 802.11 WLAN equipment to operate in markets not served by the current standard. Enable this option if you are operating in one of these “additional regulatory domains.” Transmit Power Normally, the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances, however, there might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of the radio, you can prevent transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated wireless area. WDS Enable When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. Note that WDS is incompatible with WPA -- both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same channel number. WDS AP MAC Address Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also have the MAC address of this AP to create the WDS link back to this AP. 3-7 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Tools Admin The Admin option is used to set a password for access to the Web-based management. By default, no password configured. We highly recommend that you create a password to keep your new Access Point secure. Admin Password Enter a password for the user “admin”. This user will have full access to the web-based management interface. User Password Enter a password for the user “user”. This user will have read-only access to the web-based management interface. Access Point Name The name of the Access Point can be changed here. Admin Idle Timeout The amount of time before the administration session (either remote or local) is closed when there is no activity. Save Configuration This option allows you to save the Access Point’s configuration to a file on your computer. Be sure to save the configuration before performing a firmware upgrade. 3-8 MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AP User’s Manual Web Console Configuration Restore Configuration from File Use this option to load previously saved Access Point configuration settings. Save Configuration To Wireless Network Setup Wizard If your PC’s operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or later and you are using Windows Internet Explorer (IE) as your browser, you can use this option to save key parts of the Access Point’s current wireless security settings to your PC with Windows Connect Now (WCN) technology. The settings will then be available to propagate to other wireless devices. Time The Time Configuration option allows you to configure, update, and maintain the correct time on the Access Point’s internal system clock. Set the Date and Time Manually If you do not have the NTP Server option in effect, you can either manually set the time for your Access Point here, or you can click the Copy Your Computer’s Time Settings button to copy the time from the computer you are using. (Make sure that computer’s time is set correctly.) NOTE If the Access Point loses power for any reason, it cannot keep its clock running, and will not have the correct time when it is started again.
