Overview
The AWK-5222 Access Point/Bridge and AP Client is ideal for applications that need a more
reliable solution, and are hard to wire, too expensive to wire, or use mobile equipment that
connects to a TCP/IP network. The AWK-5222 can operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to
60°C for standard models and -40 to 75°C for extended temperature models, and is rugged enough
for any harsh industrial environment. Installation is easy, with either DIN-Rail mounting or wall
mounting in distribution boxes. The DIN-rail/wall mounting ability, wide operating temperature
range, and IP30 housing with LED indicators make the AWK-5222 a convenient yet reliable
solution for any industrial wireless application.

ATTENTION
When the LEDs for STATE (Green), FAULT, WLAN1 and WLAN2 all light up simultaneously
and blink at one-second intervals, it means the system failed to boot. This may be due to improper
operation or uncontrollable issues, such as an unexpected shutdown during firmware update. To
recover the firmware, refer to “Firmware Recovery” in Chapter 6.
Beeper
The beeper signals that the system is ready with two short beeps.
Reset Button
The RESET button is located on the top panel of the AWK-5222. You can reboot the AWK-5222
or reset it to factory default settings by pressing the RESET button with a pointed object such as
an unfolded paper clip.
ySystem reboot: Hold the RESET button down for under 5 seconds and then release.
yReset to factory default: Hold the RESET button down for over 5 seconds until the STATE
LED starts blinking green. Release the button to reset the AWK-5222.
