Security
Four types of wireless security are provided: Shared (WEP), 802.1x, WPA/WPA2, and
WPA/WPA2-PSK.
6.2.1 WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides security by encrypting data over radio
waves when data is transmitted from one end point to another. WEP is the weakest
security method but the easiest one to configure. To enable WEP, select the
following items step by step:
Network Authentication: Shared
Data Encryption: Enabled
Encryption Strength: 128-bit (recommended for better security) or 64-bit
Click “Set Encryption Key” to enter your WEP keys.

Manual Ver1.0
Figure 49. Wireless Setup – Security – WEP
Four keys for both encryption strengths can be stored here. Enter 13 ASCII
characters or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit encryption keys. Enter 5 ASCII
characters or 10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit encryption keys. Select which key
(1 ~ 4) to use from “Current Network Key”. Click “Save/Apply” to save the
configuration.
Figure 50. Wireless Setup – Security – WEP
6.2.2 802.1X
- 40 -
Manual Ver1.0
802.1X addresses the WEP weakness by adding user authentication, via RADIUS
server. So you need to have your RADIUS server up and running before using
802.1X. To enable 802.1X, select “802.1X” in “Network Authentication”. Enter
your RADIUS server IP address, port number (default: 1812), and key. Follow
section 6.2.1 to configure your WEP key and select “Save/Apply” to save your
configuration.
Figure 51. Wireless Setup – Security – 802.1X
6.2.3 WPA/WPA2
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is the strongest wireless security provided by
AW4038. Like 802.1X, WPA must co-work with RADIUS server as well. To
enable WPA, select the following items step by step:
Network Authentication: WPA/WPA2
WPA Group Rekey Interval: in seconds. Default: 0 (no re-keying).
RADIUS Server IP Address/Port/Key: must match your RADIUS server.
WPA Encryption: TKIP ( select AES or TKIP+AES for WPA2).
Check your supplicant capability before you decide which one to use.

Manual Ver1.0
Figure 52. Wireless Setup – Security – WPA
6.2.4 WPA/WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK lets you take advantage of WPA without the hassle of setting up your
own RADIUS server. To enable WPA-PSK, select “WPA-PSK” in “Network
Authentication”. Enter 8 to 63 ASCII codes or 64 hexadecimal (0~9, A~F) digits
in “WPA Pre-Shared Key”. Click “Save/Apply” to save the configuration.

MAC Filter
Wireless MAC filter allows you to implement access control based on device’s MAC
address.
When you select “Allow” in “MAC Restrict Mode”, only data from devices with
matching MAC addresses in filter table can access AW4038. If you select “Deny” in
“MAC Restrict Mode”, every device can access AW4038 except those which have
matching MAC addresses in the filter table. To add filter entry, click on “Add” and
enter the MAC address of AW4038. Click “Save/Apply” to save the configuration. To
“delete” the entry, select the entry and click “Remove”.

6.4
Wireless Bridge
Wireless Bridge (also known as Wireless Distribution System) can bridge data
between two APs, which is particularly useful while wired cabling is not available.
Note: only APs in same channel can be bridged.
AP Mode: Wireless Bridge- listens and answers other APs only
Access Point- Wireless Bridge also with AP functionality
Bridge Restrict: Disabled- any AP will be granted access
Enabled- only selected APs (Max. 4) with specified MAC address
will be granted access
Enabled (Scan)- as above, but AW4038 will scan available AP for
you to select.
Refresh: re-scan the available AP
Save/Apply: save the configuration

Advanced
In most cases, AW4038 work well with wireless default settings. Modification is not
recommended unless you are very familiar with these parameters.
Channel: Select the appropriate channel from the provided list to correspond with
your network settings. All devices in your wireless network must use the
same channel in order to function correctly. Default: 7.
Rate: The range is from 1 to 54Mbps. The data transmission rate should be set
according to the speed of your wireless network. You can set one transmission
speed, or keep the default setting “Auto” to have the router automatically
detect the fastest possible data rate.
Basic Rate Set: Select the basic rate that wireless clients must support.
Fragmentation: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. The range is
256-2346 bytes. This value specifies the maximum packet size
before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a
high packet error rate, you may slightly lower the Fragmentation
value. Setting the Fragmentation too low may result in poor network
performance. Only slight adjustment of this value is recommended.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is
0-2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only
- 44 -
Manual Ver1.0
slight adjustment of this value is recommended. If a network packet
is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS
mechanism will not be enabled. AW4038 sends Request to Send
(RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the
transmission of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless
station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge
the right to begin transmission.
DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255 milliseconds, indicates the interval of
the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM interval is
a countdown field which is used to inform clients about the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When
AW4038 has buffered broadcast or multicast for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the
beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast message.
Default: 3.
Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 1 and 65535 milliseconds. The Beacon
Interval indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is
a packet broadcast by AW4038 to synchronize the wireless
network. Default: 100.
54g Mode: There are 3 selections. Select 54g Auto for the widest compatibility. Select
54g Performance for the fastest performance. Select 54g LRS if you are
experiencing difficulty with legacy 802.11b equipment.
54g protection: In Auto mode, AW4038 will use RTS/CTS to improve 802.11g
performance in mixed 802.11g/802.11b network. Turn off protection
to maximize 802.11g throughput under most conditions.
