Advanced Setup
Several advanced functions are available to increase the functionality of your AWK-1131A and wireless network
system. The DHCP server helps you deploy wireless clients efficiently. Packet filters provide security
mechanisms, such as firewalls, in different network layers. And, SNMP support can make network management
easier.
DHCP Server (for AP mode only)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a networking protocol that allows administrators to assign
temporary IP addresses to network computers by “leasing” an IP address to a user for a limited amount of time,
instead of assigning permanent IP addresses.
The AWK-1131A can act as a simplified DHCP server and easily assign IP addresses to your DHCP clients by
responding to the DHCP requests from the client ends. The IP-related parameters you set on this page will also
be sent to the client.
You can also assign a static IP address to a specific client by entering its MAC address. The AWK-1131A
provides a
Static DHCP mapping
list with up to 16 entities. Be reminded to check the
Active
check box for
each entity to activate the setting.
You can check the IP assignment status under
