Moxa Technologies Network Hardware AWK-1100 User Manual

 

WDS STA-AP 

STA-AP  

To establish a static bridge link based on WDS, the AP/bridges at both end of the WDS link must 
be configured manually with each other’s MAC addresses. To establish a dynamic bridge link 
between an AP and an AP Client, both devices must be configured with the same SSID and WEP 
settings. The AP Client automatically scans for any AP that is using the matched SSID and 
establishes a bridge link with the scanned AP. 

NOTE 

Although it’s more convenient to use dynamic bridging, it has a limitation—the AP Client can 
only transmit TCP/IP packets between its wireless interface and Ethernet interface; other types of 
traffic (such as IPX and AppleTalk) are not forwarded. 

 

TIP 

When the AP is configured to be in AP Client, it can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless network 
adapter. For example, a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet adapter, but no wireless 
card, can be connected to this device with an Ethernet cable for wireless connectivity to another 
access point. 

Administrative Password 

 

On this page, you can change the user name and password. The new password must be typed twice 
to confirm (note that the default user Name and Password or “admin” and “root,” repectively). 

Managing the Firmware 

 

Firmware management operations for AWK-1100 include “Firmware Upgrade,”“Configuration 
Backup,”“Configuration Restore,”“Configuration Reset (Factory Defaults). Firmware upgrade, 
configuration backup, and configuration restore can be achieved via HTTP or TFTP. The 
HTTP-based method is suggested because it is more user friendly. However, due to the fact that 
different Web browsers and versions behave differently, HTTP-based firmware management 
operations may not work properly with some Web browsers. If you cannot successfully perform 
HTTP-based firmware management operations with your Web browser, try the TFTP-based 
method.
