Overview

The AWK-5222 dual-RF wireless AP/Bridge/Client provides a flexible and

highly reliable solution for your industrial wireless networks.

The AWK-5222 is rated to operate at temperatures ranging from 0 to

60°C for standard models and -40 to 75°C for extended temperature

models, and it is rugged enough for industrial applications.

variety of wireless configurations and applications, and the redundant

wireless connections increase the reliability of your entire wireless

network.

The AWK-5222’s two DC power inputs make the power supply more

Installation and Configuration

Before installing the AWK-5222, 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-5222 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-5222 can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power over

Ethernet). The AWK-5222 will use whichever power source you choose.

Step 2: Connect the AWK-5222 to a notebook or PC

Since the AWK-5222 supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use

either a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the

AWK-5222 to a computer. If the LED indicator on the AWK-5222’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-5222. Since the

AWK-5222’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.
