operate at a slower speed when 802.11a clients are on the
network
N Only (5 GHz) Only supports the 5 GHz IEEE 802.11n standard
Channel (for AP mode only)
Setting Description Factory Default

WLAN Security Settings
The AWK-1131A provides four standardized wireless security modes: Open, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy),
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), and WPA2. Several security modes are available in the AWK-1131A by
selecting Security mode and WPA type:
• Open: No authentication, no data encryption.
• WEP: Static WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys must be configured manually.
• WPA/WPA2-Personal: Also known as WPA/WPA2-PSK. You will need to specify the Pre-Shared Key in the
Passphrase field, which will be used by the TKIP or AES engine as a master key to generate keys that
actually encrypt outgoing packets and decrypt incoming packets.
• WPA/WPA2-Enterprise: Also called WPA/WPA2-EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). In addition to
device-based authentication, WPA/WPA2-Enterprise enables user-based authentication via IEEE 802.1X.
The AWK-1131A can support three EAP methods: EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, and EAP-PEAP.
