Wireless LAN Setup

The AWK-1137C deployed as a Wi-Fi client can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless and serial-to-wireless
network adapter. AWK-1137C provides point-to-multipoint communication as a client device or
MAC-transparent point-to-point communication as a slave device.
Client: The IP-Bridging mechanism is used to overcome limitations of the 802.11 standards. In this case, the
MAC address of the devices connected to the client radio will be replaced with the client's MAC address. Under
AP/client modes, communication problems might be encountered when you have a MAC authenticated system
or MAC (Layer 2) based communication. In this case, you will need to change the network to use the
master/slave operation mode.
Slave: A transparent point-to-point protocol that allows the devices' MAC addresses to remain unchanged
when the packets get through the slave radio. If you are looking for a worry-free wireless solution to replace
your wired system, use Master/Slave.
Client-router: A variation of standard client mode. WLAN behavior is identical with client mode, but a router
behavior was added to separate the WLAN and LAN subnets. This allows network planners to allocate private
IP addresses behind the client radio. More information on the Static Route, NAT, and Port Forwarding functions
can be found in the Advanced Setup section.
Sniffer: In order to provide an easier way for our customers to analyze wireless traffic, the AWK-1137C
supports a "Sniffer" mode to co-work with Wireshark packet sniffer software.
NOTE
Although it is more convenient to use dynamic bridging, there is a limitation—the Client can only transmit
IP-based packets between its wireless interface (WLAN) and Ethernet interface (LAN); other types of traffic
(such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded.
Description
IP or Domain name of the NTP time server. The 2nd NTP server
will be used if the 1st NTP server fails to connect.
Description
This parameter determines how often the time is synchronized
from the NTP server.
