1. Introduction
The TAP-213 outdoor wireless AP/client is the ideal ruggedized wireless solution for railway onboard
train-to-ground applications such as CCTV and CBTC communications. It can provide speeds of up to 300 Mbps
with IEEE 802.11n technology. The TAP-213’s dust-tight/weatherproof design is IP68-rated, and it can operate
at temperatures ranging from -40 to 75°C, allowing you to extend wireless networks to outdoor locations and
critical environments.

Overview
The TAP-213 is 802.11n compliant to deliver speed, range, and reliability to support even the most
bandwidth-intensive applications. The 802.11n standard incorporates multiple technologies, including MIMO
(Multi-In, Multi-Out) Spatial Multiplexing, multiple channels (5, 10, 20 and 40 MHz), and dual bands (2.4 GHz
and 5 GHz) to achieve high speeds, while still being able to communicate with legacy 802.11a/b/g devices.
The TAP-213 is compliant with the EN 50155 standard that covers operating temperature range, power input
voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration. The TAP can be easily mounted on to a wall, DIN rail or in distribution boxes.
Its wide operating temperature range, IP68-rated housing with LED indicators, and the DIN-rail mounting
capability make the TAP-213 a convenient yet reliable solution for all types of industrial wireless applications.

This chapter explains how to install Moxa’s AirWorks TAP-213 for the first time to quickly set up your wireless
network and how to test whether the connection is working well. The function map provided in Chapter 3 is a
convenient reference to the various functions available on the TAP-213 and to determine the functions that you
need to use.

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
Password and follow the instructions on the screen.

• Step 5: Select the operation mode for the TAP-213.
By default, the operation mode of the TAP-213 is set to AP. You can change this setting to Client mode at
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.
How to Test One TAP-213
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.

Wireless Settings
The essential settings for wireless networks are presented in the wireless settings function group. You must
configure these settings correctly before you establish your wireless network. Familiarize yourself with the
following terms before starting the configuration process:
AP: In a wireless local area network (WLAN), an access point is a station that transmits and receives data.
Client: When the TAP-213 is configured for Client mode, it can be used as an Ethernet-to-wireless (or
LAN-to-WLAN) network adapter. For example, a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet adaptor but no
wireless card can be connected to this device with an Ethernet cable to provide wireless connectivity to another
AP.
Operation Mode
The TAP-213 supports five main operation modes—AP, Client, and Client-Router, each of which plays a
distinct role on the wireless network.
Wireless Enable
Setting Description Factory Default
Enable/Disable Use this function to turn the RF (Radio Frequency) module

Client In this mode, the TAP-213 can connect to wireless AP devices
Client-Router The TAP-213 plays the role of a wireless client and a router.

Sniffer Mode Instructions:
1. Set operation mode to Sniffer mode on the TAP-213 and then save/reboot the device.
2. Connect the TAP-213 to a laptop with Wireshark installed (v1.12.0 or later release) via Ethernet.
3. Add a remote interface by entering the IP address of the TAP-213.
Detailed Wireshark instructions can be found at:
https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChCapInterfaceRemoteSection.html
4. Start capturing 802.11 wireless packets with Wireshark.
Basic Wireless Settings (Multiple SSID)
You can add new SSIDs or edit existing ones in the WLAN Basic Setting Selection panel. You can configure
up to 9 SSIDs for a TAP and configure each SSID differently.
An SSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use to establish and maintain wireless
connectivity. Multiple access points on a network or sub-network can use the same SSIDs. All of the SSIDs that
you configure for an AP are active at the same time. That is, client devices can use any of the SSIDs to associate
with the AP.
