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

select this option, the following parameters are displayed.
MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AC User’s Manual Web Console Configuration
3-3
Wireless Mode
Select Infrastructure to connect to a wireless (AP) Access Point. Select Ad-hoc to connect to
another AC or wireless station.
Wireless Network Name
This is the name of the wireless access point with which this station will be associated. Leave this
field blank to associate with any access point.
Channel (Ad-hoc mode only)
A wireless network uses specific channels in the 2.4 GHz wireless spectrum to handle
communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference from other
electronic devices. Your AWK-1200-AC will use the channel that is used by the access point with
which it is associated. However, you can select your channel preference to help optimize the
performance and coverage of your wireless network.
Transmission Rate
By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. If necessary, you have the option
of selecting a different rate.

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.
Security Mode
— 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 ASC II (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.)
MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AC User’s Manual Web Console Configuration
3-4
— WPA-Personal
This option selects Wi -Fi Protected Access (WPA), which uses security standards published by
the Wi -Fi Alliance. This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). The
WPA Mode further refines the variant that the AWK-1200-AC should employ.
WPA Mode
WPA is the older standard. Select this option if the Access Point that will be used with the
AWK-1200-AC only supports the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation of the
stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard. With the “WPA2” option, the AWK-1200-AC
associates only with access points that also support WPA2 security.
Cipher Type
The encryption algorithm used to secure the data communication.
TKIP
Use TKIP only. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-packet key generation
and is based on WEP.
AES
Use AES only. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very secure block based on
encryption. Note that if the AWK-1200-AC uses the AES option, the AWK-1200-AC can
associate with the access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES.
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.
ADVANCED
MAC Cloning Mode
This feature controls the MAC Address of the AWK-1200-AC as seen by other devices (wired or
wireless).
If set to Ethernet Client , the MAC Address from the first Ethernet client that transmits data
through the AWK-1200-AC will be used. This setting is useful when connected to an Xbox or if
there is only one Ethernet device connected to the AWK-1200-AC. When multiple Ethernet
devices are connected to the AWK-1200-AC, it may not be obvious which MAC Address is being
used.
If set to WLAN Card, the MAC Address of the WLAN Card (typically written on the back of the
card) will be used. When multiple Ethernet devices are connected to the AWK-1200-AC, the
MAC Address of the AWK-1200-AC will not change.
MOXA AirWorks AWK-1200-AC User’s Manual Web Console Configuration

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.
802.11d Enable
Enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless specification for operation in multiple 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 in multiple regulatory domains, or countries). The
current 802.11 standard defines operation in only a fixed regulatory domain (country). This
supplement adds the requirements and definitions necessary to allow 802.11 WLAN equipment to
operate in multiple markets. Enable this option if you are traveling and operating in several
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.
