Overview

Moxa’s new AWK-3131-M12-RCC is a 3-in-1 industrial AP/bridge/client
device designed specifically for rail carriage-to-carriage communication
and can provide up to 300 Mbps with IEEE 802.11n technology. The
AWK-3131-M12-RCC combines two adjacent 20 MHz channels into a
single 40 MHz channel to deliver a potent combination of greater
reliability and more bandwidth. The two redundant DC power inputs
increase the reliability of the power supply, and the AWK-3131-M12-RCC
can be powered via PoE to make deployment easier. The
AWK-3131-M12-RCC can operate on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands and is
backward-compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments to
future-proof your wireless investments.

Installation and Configuration

Before installing the AWK-3131-M12-RCC, 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-3131-M12-RCC 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-3131-M12-RCC can be powered by a DC power input or PoE
(Power over Ethernet). The AWK-3131-M12-RCC will use whichever
power source you choose.

Step 2: Connect the AWK-3131-M12-RCC to a notebook or

PC

Since the AWK-3131-M12-RCC supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you
can use either a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the
AWK-3131-M12-RCC to a computer. If the LAN LED indicator on the
AWK-3131-M12-RCC 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-3131-M12-RCC. Since
the AWK-3131-M12-RCC’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 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure

AWK-3131-M12-RCC

Open your computer’s web browser and then type
http://192.168.127.253 in the address field to access the homepage
of the web-based management. Before the homepage opens, you will
need to enter the user name and password. For first-time configuration,
enter the default user name and password and then click on the Login
button:

Username: admin
Password: root

ATTENTION

For security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the
password. To do so,

select Maintenance  Password

, and then

follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 5: Select the operation mode for the

AWK-3131-M12-RCC

By default, the AWK-3131-M12-RCC’s operation mode is set to AP. You
can change the setting in Wireless Settings  Basic Wireless

Settings if you would like to use the Client mode.

NOTE

To make the change effective, you must click Save Configuration
to save the change or

the Save and Restart button to apply all
