Reset Button
The RESET button is located on the bottom panel of the AWK-6222. You can reboot the AWK-6222 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 less than 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-6222.
NOTE
Each time the system is turned on the reset button
can be disabled for 60 seconds.
S
TEP 1:Remove the reset button cover.
STEP 2
:Using a pointed object, press and hold the
reset button
.
Relay (Digital Output)
The AWK-6222 has one relay output, which consists of the 2 contacts for the 8-pin M12 connector on the
bottom panel, as shown below. These relay contacts 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 reasons, the relay circuit
is kept open when the AWK-6222 is not powered.
The AWK-6222’s relay status is shown below:

2. Getting Started
This chapter explains how to install Moxa’s AirWorks AWK-6222 for the first time, quickly set up your wireless
network, and test whether the connection is running properly. The function guide helps you find the functions
that you need easily.
The following topics are covered in this chapter:

AWK-6222 Getting Started
2-2
First-time Installation and Configuration
Before installing the AWK-6222, 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-6222 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-6222 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-6222 to a notebook or PC.
Since the AWK-6222 supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through cable or
crossover cable to connect the AWK-6222 to a computer. If the LED indicator on the AWK-6222’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-6222. Since the AWK-6222’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 yo
u select Maintenance

Load Factory Default and click the Submit button, the AWK-6222 will
be
reset to
factory default settings and the IP address will also reset to 192.168.127.253.
Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure AWK-6222
Open your computer’s web browser and type in 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 U
sername and Password:
Username: admin
Password: root
For security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the default password. T
o do so, select Maintenance

Password
, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
NOTE
Clicking on
Submit will apply your changes and refresh the web page. The string “(Updated)
” and a blinking
reminder will be displayed on the upper
-right corner of the page as shown below.
To make the changes effective, click
Restart and then Save and Restart after you change the settings.
The
AWK
-6222 will take about 30 seconds to complete its restart process.
Step 5: Select the operation mode
By default, the AWK-6222’s operation mode is set to Wireless redundancy. You can change the setting at
Wireless Settings

Operation mode if you would like to use Wireless bridge or AP-Client mode instead.
Detailed information about configuring the AWK-6222’s operation mode 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-6222 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-6222 device, and use the second method if you are using two or more AWK-6222s.
Testing Method for One AWK-6222 with AP-Client Operation Mode
If you are only using one AWK-6222, you will need a second notebook computer equipped with a WLAN card.
Configure the WLAN card to connect to the AWK-6222 (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), which is
connected to the AWK-6222.

AWK-6222 Getting Started
2-4
After configuring the WLAN card, establish a wireless connection with the AWK-6222 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.
Testing Method for Two or More AWK-6222s with AP-Client Operation Mode
If you have two or more AWK-6222s, you will need a second notebook computer (B) equipped with an Ethernet
port. Use the default settings for the first AWK-6222 connected to notebook A and change the second or third
AWK-6222 connected to notebook B to Client mode. Then, configure the notebooks and AWK-6222s as
illustrated below:
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.
