AWR300 User Manual

7.6.3.5 WLAN

As already mentioned, the WLAN menu is only visible if the AWR300 contains a Wi-Fi module.
This is not the case in the standard version so this item will not be shown then.
The WLAN function on the AWR300 requires basic knowledge about networks
and Wi-Fi. It is recommended to let an IT specialist configure the required settings.
WLAN is not activated per factory default settings. Before it can be used, it has to be switched
on. There are two possible operating modes available, 'Station' and 'Access Point'.
Station:
Access Point:
09/03/18
The WLAN settings available on the device itself are only
basic ones. Showing all possible settings would make the
menu too complex, hence the advanced settings are only
software configurable – e.g. via AWR-PC-Demo.
But usually it is not required to modify these settings again
and again – an initial configuration is normally enough if the
IT infrastructure remains the same.
This operating mode for WLAN is probably the most common scenario.
There is an existing Wi-Fi infrastructure containing an Access Point and
the reader should join it.
The Access Point has an SSID (Service Set IDentifier) which makes it
discoverable and connectable – one could also call it 'network name'. The
SSID has to be configured correctly via software (like AWR-PC-Demo), it
has to match with the SSID used by the Access Point.
Usually WLAN connections
'authentication'. The
authentication' or 'WPA2'. Authentication methods different from WPA2
(like WEP or WPA) turned out to be insecure and hence are not
supported.
If WPA2 is selected as authentication method, the 'passphrase'
configured for the Access Point has to match with the one set for the
AWR300. Please note that the passphrase is also case-sensitive!
The easiest way for allowing the AWR300 to join the Access Point is to let
the Access Point work as a DHCP server. This means that IP addresses
are assigned automatically.
If all those settings are configured correctly, the AWR300 should be able
to join the Access Point.
When the AWR300 is configured to 'Access Point' it will not try to join
another Access Point but it will create an own. This is comparable with
the 'mobile hotspot' function on smartphones even though the AWR300
has no internet access, of course. At the moment the created Access
Point is 'open', i.e. there is no authentication available.
