TAP-213 UM Getting Started
2-2
First-Time Installation and Configuration
Before installing the TAP-213, make sure that all items mentioned in the package checklist are in the box. You
will also need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The TAP-213 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 TAP-213 can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power over Ethernet).
•Step 2: Connect the TAP-213 to a notebook or PC.
Since the TAP-213 is provided with the MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing capability, you can use either a
straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect it to a computer. When the connection between the
TAP-213 and the computer is established, the LED indicator on the TAP-213’s LAN port lights up.
•Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address.
Set an IP address for the computer so that it is on the same subnet as that of the TAP-213. Since the
TAP-213’s default IP address is 192.168.127.253, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, set the IP
address of the computer in the 192.168.127.xxx IP range and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
•Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure the TAP-213
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 following
default user name and password and click on the Login button:
User Name: admin
Password: moxa
NOTE
For security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the default passw
ord. To change the password,
select
Maintenance
Password and follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE
After you click
Submit to apply changes, the web page is refreshed and an (Updated)
indicator is displayed
next to the page heading along with a b
linking reminder to restart the device.
To activate the changes
, click Restart and then click Save and Restart after you change the settings.
The
TAP
-213 will take about 30 seconds to complete the reboot process.

Wireless Settings WLAN Basic Wireless Settings. Detailed information about configuring the
TAP-213 is available in Chapter 3.
•Step 6: Test the network connection.
In the following sections we describe two methods that you can use to test that a network connection has
been established.
Communication Testing
After installing the TAP-213 you can run a sample test to make sure the wireless connection on the TAP-213 is
functioning normally. Two testing methods are described below. Use the first method if you are using only one
TAP-213 device and the second method if you are using two or more TAP-213 units.

If you are only using one TAP-213, you will need one additional notebook computer equipped with a WLAN card.
Configure the WLAN card to connect to the TAP-213 (NOTE: the default SSID is MOXA), and change the IP
address of the second notebook (Notebook B) so that it is on the same subnet as the first notebook (Notebook
A), which is connected to the TAP-213.
After configuring the WLAN card, establish a wireless connection with the TAP-213 and open a DOS window on
Notebook B. At the prompt, type the following:
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, recheck the
configuration to make sure the connections are correct.

How to Test Two or More TAP-213 Units
If you have two or more TAP-213 units, you will need a second notebook computer (Notebook B) equipped with
an Ethernet port. Use the default settings for the first TAP-213 connected to notebook A and change the second
or third TAP-213 connected to notebook B to Client mode, and then configure the notebooks and TAP-213 units
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 the latter case, recheck the configuration to
make sure the settings are correct.

TAP-213 UM Web Console Configuration
3-2
Web Browser Configuration
The web interface provides a convenient way to modify the configuration of the TAP-213 and access its built-in
monitoring and network administration functions. The recommended web browser is Microsoft®Internet
Explorer 7.0 or 8.0 with JVM (Java Virtual Machine) installed.
NOTE
To use the management and monitoring functions
of the TAP-213
from a PC host connected to the same LAN
as the
TAP-213, you must make sure that the PC host and the TAP-213 are on the same logical subnet.
Similarly, if the
TAP-213 is configured on a different VLAN than the PC,
you must make sure your PC host is
on the management VLAN
so that it can access the TAP-213.
The default IP
address of the TAP is 192.168.127.253.
To access the web interface of the TAP-213, do the following:
1. Open a web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer), type in the default IP address of the TAP-213 in the address
field, and press Enter.
2. In the login page that is displayed, enter the Username and Password (default Username = admin;
default Password = moxa) and click Login to continue.
You may need to wait a few moments for the main page to download to your computer. Note that the model
name and IP address of the TAP-213 are both shown in the title bar of the web page. You can identify the
web interfaces of multiple TAP-213 units using this information.
