    Familiarize yourself with the following terms before starting the configuration process: The AWK-1121/1127 as a client can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless (or LAN-to-WLAN) network adapter. 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.

    AWK-1121/1127 to either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz frequency band. An SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Set the SSID parameter to match that of the APs you wish to connect to, so that the AWK-1121/1127 will associate with network defined by the SSID.
  • Page 22 The AWK-1121/1127-JP (for Japanese frequency bands) connects only APs with broadcast (i.e: not hidden) SSIDs, in all IEEE802.11a channels and IEEE802.11g channels 1 to 11. The AWK-1121/1127-EU (for European frequency bands) only connects APs with hidden SSIDs in all IEEE802.11b/g channels.
  • Page 23 When WEP is enabled as a security mode, the length of a key (so-called WEP seed) can be specified as 64/128 bits, which is actually a 40/104-bit secret key with a 24-bit initialization vector. The AWK-1121/1127 provides 4 entities of WEP key settings that can be selected to use with Key index. The selected key setting specifies the key to be used as a send-key for encrypting traffic from the AP side to the wireless client side.
  • Page 24 Even though AES encryption is only included in the WPA2 standard, it is widely available in the WPA security mode of some wireless APs and clients as well. The AWK-1121/1127 also supports AES algorithms in WPA and WPA2 for better compatibility.

  • Page 26 Certificate reduction makes TTLS and PEAP much more popular than EAP-TLS. The AWK-1121/1127 provides some non-cryptographic EAP methods, including PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, and MS-CHAP-V2. These EAP methods are not recommended for direct use on wireless networks. However, they may be useful as inner authentication methods with TTLS and PEAP.
  • Page 27 There are a few differences in the TTLS and PEAP inner authentication procedures. TTLS uses the encrypted channel to exchange attribute-value pairs (AVPs), while PEAP uses the encrypted channel to start a second EAP exchange inside of the tunnel. The AWK-1121/1127 provides MS-CHAP-V2 merely as an EAP method for inner authentication.

    The serial console connection method, which requires using a short serial cable to connect the AWK-1121/1127 to a PC’s COM port, can be used if you do not know the AWK-1121/1127’s IP address. It is also convenient to use serial console configurations when you cannot access the AWK-1121/1127 over Ethernet LAN, such as in the case of LAN cable disconnections or broadcast storming over the LAN.

    Configuration by Telnet and SSH Consoles You may use Telnet or SSH client to access the AWK-1121/1127 and manage the console over a network. To access the AWK-1121/1127’s functions over the network from a PC host that is connected to the same LAN as the AWK-1121/1127, you need to make sure that the PC host and the AWK-1121/1127 are on the same logical subnet.
