AirWorks AWK-3191 Introduction
1-2
Overview
The AWK-3191 900 MHz wireless AP/bridge/client is Moxa’s answer to long distance wireless communication
for industrial applications. By combining the characteristics of the 33-centimeter band and the proven 802.11
standards, Moxa is able to provide a reliable long distance wireless solution. Unlike traditional point-to-point
900 MHz radios, the AWK-3191 supports both master/slave and AP/client operation modes to enable both
point-to-point and point-to-multi-point communication for higher flexibility and lower total cost of ownership.
Furthermore, the AWK-3191 is designed to be deployed easily, but in case of external interference, Moxa also
provides the ability to allow engineers to adjust their 900 MHz central frequency and bandwidth (5/10 MHz and
20 MHz) to optimize their wireless performance.
The AWK-3191 is rated to operate at temperatures ranging from -25 to 60°C for standard models and -40 to
75°C for wide temperature models, and with an industrial-oriented design, it is compliant with various
standards and approvals, making it rugged enough for any harsh industrial environment.

Functional Design
LED Indicators
The LEDs on the front panel of the AWK-3191 provide a quick and easy means of determining the current
operational status and wireless settings.
The FAULT LED indicates system failures and user-configured events. If the AWK-3191 cannot retrieve the IP
address from a DHCP server, the FAULT LED will blink at one second intervals. The SIGNAL LEDs indicate
signal strength, and only operate in Client/Slave mode.

AirWorks AWK-3191 Introduction

The following table summarizes how to read the device’s wireless settings from the LED displays. More
information is available in Chapter 3 in the “Basic Wireless Settings” section.

one
-second intervals indicates that the system has failed to boot. This may be due to improper
operation or an
uncontrollable factor, such as an unexpected shutdown during firmware update. Instructions on how to recover
the firmware can be found in Chapter 6 in the
“Firmware Recovery” section.

AirWorks AWK-3191 Introduction
1-7
Beeper
The beeper emits beeps in one of two ways:
•Two short beeps when the system is ready.
•Continuous short beeps with one-second intervals when the device is “located” by Moxa’s Search Utility
Reset Button
The RESET button is located on the top panel of the AWK-3191. You can reboot the AWK-3191 or reset it to
factory default settings by pressing the RESET button with a pointed object such as an unfolded paper clip.
•
System reboot:
Hold the RESET button down for under 5 seconds
and then release.
•
Reset to factory default:
Hold the RESET button down for over
5 seconds until the STATE LED starts blinking green. Release th
e
button to reset the AWK-3191.
Relay (Digital Output)
The AWK-3191 has one relay output consisting of the 2 terminal block contacts on the top panel, as shown
below. These relay contacts are used to forward system failures and user-configured events.
The two wires attached to the relay contacts form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If
a user-configured event does not occur, the relay circuit will remain closed. For safety reasons, the relay circuit
is kept open when the AWK-3191 is not powered up.

2. Getting Started
This chapter explains how to install Moxa’s AirWorks AWK-3191 for the first time, and quickly set up your
wireless network and test whether the connection is running well. The function guide provides a convenient
means of determining which functions you need to use.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

AirWorks AWK-3191 Getting Started
2-2
First-time Installation and Configuration
Before installing the AWK-3191, make sure that all items in the Package Checklist are in the box. You will
need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The AWK-3191 has a default IP
address that must be used when connecting to the device for the first time.
•Step 1: Select the power source.
The AWK-3191 can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Hardware Rev. 3.0.0 supports PoE; hardware
Rev. 2.0.0 does not support PoE.). The AWK-3191 will use whichever power source you choose.
•Step 2: Connect the AWK-3191 to a notebook or PC.
Since the AWK-3191 supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through cable or
crossover cable to connect the AWK-3191 to a computer. The LED indicator on the AWK-3191’s LAN port
will light up when a connection is established.
•Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address.
Choose an IP address on the same subnet as the AWK-3191. Since the AWK-3191’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.
NOTE
After y
ou select Maintenance Load Factory Default and click the Submit button, the AWK-
3191 will be
reset to factory default settings and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.127.253.
•Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure the AWK-3191
Open your computer’s web browser and type http://192.168.127.253 in the address field 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 the Login button:
NOTE
Default user name and password:
User Name: admin
Password: root
For security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the default password. To do so, select
Maintenance

Username/Password
, and then follow the on-screen instructions to change the password.

AirWorks AWK-3191 Getting Started
2-3
NOTE
After you click Submit to apply changes
to the web page (Updated) will appear on the page and a blinking
reminder will be shown
in the upper-right corner of the web page:
To activate the changes click Restart and then Save and Restart after you change the settings. About 30
seconds are needed for
the AWK-3191 to complete the reboot procedure.
•Step 5: Select the AWK-3191 operation mode.
By default, the AWK-3191’s operation mode is set to AP. You can change to Client mode in Wireless
Settings Basic Wireless Settings. Detailed information about configuring the AWK-3191’s operation
can be found in Chapter 3.
•Step 6: Test communications.
In the following sections we describe two test methods that can be used to ensure that a network
connection has been established.
Communication Testing
After installing the AWK-3191 you can run a simple test to make sure the AWK-3191 and wireless connection
are functioning normally. The AWK-3191 is a 900 MHz Access Point. Laptops are generally NOT equipped with
900 MHz radio, so you must use a pair of AWK-3191 units to complete the communication test. (NOTE: By
default, the AWK-3191 is not shipped with an antenna; be sure to purchase an antenna and attach the antenna
before you do your test.)
Required Equipment: AWK-3191 x 2 (one as AP, another as Client), 900 MHz Antenna Set x 2, Power Supply
x 2, Laptop x 2, Ethernet Cable x 2
Setup AP Side: Configure Notebook A to be on the same subnet as the AWK-3191; for example,
192.168.127.2/24. After the network configuration, connect Notebook A to the AP AWK-3191 via Ethernet.
(NOTE: The default AWK IP is 192.168.127.253) Double confirm that the AWK-3191 is configured to AP mode.
(NOTE: The default AP SSID is MOXA)
Setup Client Side: Configure Notebook B to be on the same subnet as the AWK-3191; for example,
192.168.127.1/24. After the network configuration, connect Notebook B to the Client AWK-3191 via Ethernet.
(NOTE: The default AWK IP is 192.168.127.253) Once the connection is made, change the Client AWK-3191’s
IP address to avoid an IP conflict with the AP AWK-3191; for example, 192.168.127.252/24, and set the
wireless operation mode to Client.
Setting Confirmation: The RF bandwidth, Central Frequency, and SSID of the AP and Client must match in
order to establish a connection.

AirWorks AWK-3191 Getting Started
2-4
Verification: Once the connection is established, the Client side’s SIGNAL LED will show its connection
strength. Test the IP level communication by opening a DOS window command prompt on Notebook B and
type:
ping <IP address of Notebook A, for example 192.168.127.2>
and then press Enter. A “Reply from IP address…” response means the communication was successful. A
“Request time out” response means the communication failed. In this case, recheck the configuration to make
sure the connections are set up correctly.
