MOXA AirWorks AWK-1100 User’s Manual Getting Started

First-Time Installation and Configuration

Before installing AWK-1100, check to make sure that all items in the Package Checklist are in the box. In addition, you will need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. AWK-1100 has a default IP address that you must use when connecting to AWK-1100 for the first time.

NOTE	For testing requirements, if you only have one AWK-1100, we strongly suggest that you prepare
	a notebook computer or PC with a wireless LAN adapter installed. After finishing the installation
	and configuration, you should test AWK-1100 to make sure the wireless transmission is working
	normally.
	Step 1: Select the Power Source
	AWK-1100 can be powered by a DC power input, or by PoE (Power over Ethernet). AWK-1100
	will use the power source that you choose.
NOTE	The PoE capability of the bridge is PowerDsine-compatible. Please visit PowerDsine’s website
	for more information (http://www.powerdsine.com).
	Step 2: Connect AWK-1100 to a notebook or PC
	Since AWK-1100 supports MID/MID-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through cable
	or cross-over cable to connect AWK-1100 to the notebook, if the LAN LED on AWK-1100’s front
	panel lights up, it means the connection is established.
	Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address
	In a Windows environment, the computer’s IP address can be changed in the TCP/IP settings
	window. Select an IP address on the same subnet as the AWK-1100. Since AWK-1100’s default
	IP address is 192.168.127.253, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, you should set the IP
	address of the computer to 192.168.127.xxx.
	Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure AWK-1100
	Open your computer’s web browser and then type http://192.168.127.253 in the address box to
	access the homepage of the web-based Network Manager. Before the homepage opens, you will
	need to enter the user name and password as shown in the following figure. For first-time
	configuration, enter the default user name and password and then click on OK:

Default user name & password

User name:	admin
Password:	root
