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.
•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 the button to reset the AWK-5222.
Relay (Digital Output)
The AWK-5222 has one relay output, which consists of 2 terminal block contacts on the top panel, as shown
below. These relay contacts are used to forward system failure 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 reason, the relay circuit
is kept open when the AWK-5222 is not powered.
The AWK-5222’s relay status is summarized as follows:
Power Status Event Relay

2. Getting Started
This chapter explains how to install Moxa’s AirWorks AWK-5222 for the first time, quickly set up your wireless
network, and test whether the connection is running well. The function guide helps you find the functions that
you need easily.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

AWK-5222 Getting Started
2-2
First-Time Installation and Configuration
Before installing the AWK-5222, 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. The AWK-5222 has a
default IP address that you must use when connecting to the device for the first time.
Step 1: Select the power source.
The AWK-5222 can be powered by DC power input or PoE (Power over Ethernet).
NOTE
The
information technology equipment (ITE) power supply
unit is to be connected only to PoE networks without
routing
it to the outside plant.
Step 2: Connect the AWK-5222 to a notebook or PC.
Since the AWK-5222 supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through cable or
crossover cable to connect the AWK-5222 to a computer. If the LED indicator on AWK-5222’s LAN port lights up,
it means the connection is established.
Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address.
Set an IP address on the same subnet as the AWK-5222. Since the AWK-5222’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 you select
Maintenance

Load Factory Default and click the Submit button, the AWK-
5222 will be
reset to factory default settings and the IP address will be also reset to
192.168.127.253.
Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure AWK-5222
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
username and password as shown in the following figure. For first-time configuration, enter the default
username and password and then click on the Login button:
NOTE
Default user name and password:
Username: admin
Password: root
For security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the default password. To do so, select
Maintenance

Password
, and then follow the on-screen instructions to change the password.

AWK-5222 Getting Started

NOTE
Clicking on
Submit will apply your changes and refresh the web page. The string “(Updated)
” and a blinking
reminder will
appear on the upper-right corner of web page as shown below:
To make the changes effective, click
Restart and then Save and Restart after you change the settings.
The
AWK
-5222 will take about 30 seconds to complete the restart process.
Step 5: Select the operation mode for the AWK-5222.
By default, the AWK-5222’s operation mode is set to Wireless redundancy. You can change the setting in
Wireless Settings

Operation mode if you would like to use the Wireless bridge or AP-Client mode
instead. Detailed information about configuring the AWK-5222’s operation can be found in Chapter 3.
Step 6: Test communications.
In the following sections we will describe two test methods that can be used to ensure that a network
connection has been established.
Communication Testing
After installation, you can run a sample test to make sure the AWK-5222 and wireless connection are
functioning normally. Two testing methods are explained in the following sections. Use the first method if you
are using only one AWK-5222 device, and use the second method if you are using two or more AWK-5222s.
Testing Method for one AWK-5222
If you are only using one AWK-5222, you will need a second notebook computer equipped with a WLAN card.
Configure the WLAN card to connect to the AWK-5222 (NOTE: the default SSID is MOXA_1), and change the
IP address of the second notebook (B) so that it is on the same subnet as the first notebook (A) that is
connected to the AWK-5222.
After configuring the WLAN card, establish a wireless connection with the AWK-5222 and open a DOS window
on Notebook B. At the prompt, type:
ping <IP address of notebook A>
and then press Enter (see the figure below). A “Reply from IP address …” response means the communication
was successful. A “Request timed out.” response means the communication failed. In this case, check the
configuration to make sure the connections are correct.

AWK-5222 Getting Started
2-4
Testing Method for two or more AWK-5222s
If you have two or more AWK-5222s, you will need a second notebook computer (B) equipped with an Ethernet
port. Use the default settings for the first AWK-5222 connected to notebook A and change the second or third
AWK-5222 connected to notebook B to Client mode. Then, configure the notebooks and AWK-5222s properly.
After setting up the testing environment, open a DOS window on notebook B. At the prompt, type
ping <IP address of notebook A>
and then press Enter. A “Reply from IP address …” response means the communication was successful. A
“Request timed out” response means the communication failed. In this case, recheck the configuration to make
sure the connections are correct.

AWK-5222 Web Console Configuration
3-2
Configuration by Web Browser
Moxa AWK-5222’s web browser interface provides a convenient way to modify its configuration and access the
built-in monitoring and network administration functions. The recommended web browser is Microsoft®
Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher with JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed.
NOTE
To use the AWK
-
5222’s management and monitoring functions from a PC host connected to the same LAN as
the AWK
-5222, you must make sure that the PC host and AWK-5222
are on the same logical subnet. Similarly,
if the AWK
-
5222 is configured for other VLAN settings, you must make sure your PC host is on the management
VLAN.
The Moxa AWK
-5222’s default IP is 192.168.127.253.
To access the AWK-5222’s web-based console management:
1. Open your web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer) and type the AWK-5222’s IP address in the address field.
Then press Enter to establish the connection.
2. In the web console login page, enter the password (the default Username is admin and the Password is
root, provided a new password has not been set) and then click Login to continue.
You may need to wait a few moments for the web page to download onto your computer. The model name and
IP address of your AWK-5222 are both shown on the title of the web page. This information can help you
identify multiple AWK-5222s.
You can use the menu tree on the left panel of the web console to open the function pages to access each of
AWK-5222’s functions.
