Overview

The AWK-3191 900 MHz radio is Moxa’s answer to the need for long
distance wireless communication for industrial applications. By combining
the characteristics of the 33-centimeter band, and the proven 802.11
standard, Moxa is able to provide a reliable long distance wireless solution.
Unlike traditional point-to-point 900 MHz radios, the AWK-3191 also
provides reliable point-to-multi-point communication for higher flexibility
and lower total cost of ownership. Furthermore, the AWK-3191 is
designed for simple deployment, but in case of external interference,
engineers can adjust their 900 MHz central frequency and bandwidth
(5/10 MHz and 20 MHz) to optimize their wireless communication. With
industrial grade standards and wide-temperature models, the AWK-3191
is the most reliable solution for industrial long distance communication.

Package Checklist

Moxa’s AWK-3191 is shipped with the following items. If any of these

representative for assistance.

• AWK-3191

• Cable holder with one screw

• 2 protective caps

Installation and Configuration

Before installing the AWK-3191, 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-3191 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-3191 can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (discontinued
starting with HW Rev 2.0.0). 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. If the LED indicator on the AWK-3191’s LAN
port lights up, it means a connection has been established.

Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address

Set 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 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

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
management system. 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:

User name: admin
Password: root

ATTENTION

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

Maintenance 

Username/Password

, and then follow the on-screen

instructions.

Step 5: Select the operation mode for the AWK-3191

By default, the AWK-3191’s operation mode is set to AP. You can change
the setting in Wireless Settings

 Basic Wireless Settings if you

would like to use Client mode.

NOTE

For the change to take effect, you must click Save Configuration
to save the change, or Restart (clicking the Save and Restart
buttons will save all changes).
