Introduction
Inline Power Injector (PoE)
The AWK-1200-AP is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The Inline Power Injector
(PoE) delivers both data and power to the AWK-1200-AP unit through a single Ethernet cable,
and provides the following benefits to improve the performance vs. installation cost ratio.
y Great for areas that do not have a ready power supply, such as the roof of a house.
y Allows placing the AWK-1200-AP unit closer to the antenna, to make installation easier, and
reduce signal loss over antenna cabling.
y Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4 GHz signal doesn’t do as well over
antenna cabling.
y Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than antenna cabling.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Super G™ Mode
Super G without Turbo: Performance enhancing features such as Packet Bursting, FastFrames,
and Compression.
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
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.

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
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.

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.
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.

Fragmentation Threshold
This setting should remain at its default value of 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low
may result in poor performance.
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.

LAN Computers
This area of the screen continually updates to show all DHCP enabled computers and devices
connected to the LAN side of your Access Point. The detection “range” is limited to the address
range as configured in DHCP Server. Computers that have an address outside of this range will not
appear. If the DHCP Client (i.e. a computer configured to “Automatically obtain an address”)
supplies a Host Name then that will also be shown. Any computer or device that has a static IP
address that lies within the detection “range” may show, however its host name will not.
Wireless
The wireless section allows you to view the wireless clients that are connected to your wireless
Access Point.
MAC Address
The Ethernet ID (MAC address) of the wireless client.
IP Address
The LAN-side IP address of the client.
Mode
The transmission standard being used by the client. Values are 11a, 11b, or 11g for 802.11a,
802.11b, or 802.11g respectively.
Rate
The actual transmission rate of the client in megabits per second.
Signal
This is a relative measure of signal quality. The value is expressed as a percentage of theoretical
best quality. Signal quality can be reduced by distance, by interference from other radio-frequency
