The WLAN certificate will remain after the AWK-1137C reboots. Even though it is expired, it can still be seen on
the

Current Certificate

.

Serial Port Settings

The AWK-1137C is provided with a serial port for connecting serial devices to the WLAN network. The AWK
support various useful serial operation modes to make connecting to your serial devices much simpler.

Operation Modes

The Operation Modes page for the serial port is where you can configure the serial port operation mode and
related settings.

Application

This field specifies the application of this serial port. Depending on the application, the different operation
modes and their settings will be displayed.

Setting

Description

Factory Default

Disable

This serial port will be disabled.

Device Control

Device Control

This serial port will be used to control a device using legacy
software installed on a Windows, Linux, or UNIX system.
Drivers will need to be installed that will allow your software to
communicate with the device as if it were physically attached to
a local COM or TTY port. You may select between Real COM and
RFC2217 operation modes.

Socket

This serial port will be used for a TCP or UDP socket-based
application. You may select between TCP Client, TCP Server,
and UDP operation modes.

NOTE

We recommend disabling the port if no serial devices are connected to the AWK.
