Advance Encryption System is enabled Mixed Provides TKIP broadcast key and TKIP AES unicast key for some legacy Client This option is rarely used This option is available in AP Master mode only and does not support AES enabled clients Passphrase 8 to 63 characters Master key to generate keys for encryption and decryption Key renewal for AP Master mode only 60 to 86400 seconds Specifies the time period of group key renewal 3600 seconds 1 minute to 1 day NOTE The key renewal value dictates how often the wireless AP encryption keys should be changed The security level is generally higher if you set the key renewal value to a shorter number which forces the encryption keys to be changed more frequently The default value is 3600 seconds 6 minutes Longer time periods can be considered if the line is not very busy 3 13 AirWorks AWK 3121 Web Console Configuration WPA WPA2 Enterprise for AP Master mode By setting WPA type to Enterprise you can use EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol a framework authentication protocol used by 802 1X to provide network authentication In these Enterprise level security modes a back end RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial n User Service server is needed if IEEE 802 1X functionality is enabled in WPA WPA2 The IEEE 802 1X protocol also offers the possibility of carrying out an efficient connection authentication on a large scale network It is not necessary to exchange
2. AWK 3121 supports EEE802 1D Spanning Tree Protocol and EEE802 1w Rapid STP standards In addition to eliminating unexpected path looping STP RSTP can provide a backup path recovery if a wired wireless path fails accidentally The reliability and availability can increase because this fail over function AWK 3121 s STP RSTP feature is disabled by default To be completely effective you must enable RSTP STP on every AWK 3121 connected to your network If AWK 3121 plays a Client role which is connected to a device PLC RTU etc as opposed to network switch equipment it is not necessary to enable STP RSTP The reason is that it will cause unnecessary negotiation AWK 3121s support STP RSTP in AP mode including WDS only The following figures indicate which Spanning Tree Protocol parameters can be configured A more detailed explanation of each parameter is given below the figure RSTP Settings AP only RSTP status Bridge priority 22768 Hello time 2 1 10 seconds Forwarding delay 15 4230 seconds Max age 20 6 40 seconds T Edge port 1 LAN E 128 Y 200000 Mn AP E 128 Y 12000000 m DS 1 C 128 Y 2000000 C RSTP status Mo l Enable RSTP Port priority Port cost Status Z 3 This field will appear only when selected to operate STP RSTP It indicates whether this AWK 3121 is the Root of the Spanning Tree the root is determined automatically or not Bridge priority Setting Description Factory
