Step 5: Select the operation mode for the AWK-5222.
By default, the AWK-5222’s operation mode is set to Wireless redundancy. You can change the
setting in Wireless Settings Æ Operation mode if you would like to use the Wireless bridge or
AP-Client mode instead. Detailed information about configuring the AWK-5222’s operation can
be found in Chapter 3.
Step 6: Test communications.
We will describe 2 test methods to make sure the network connection has been established. Please
refer to the following section for more details.
Communication Testing
After installation, you can run a sample test to make sure the AWK-5222 and wireless connection
are functioning normally. Two testing methods are explained in the following sections. Use the
first method if you are using only one AWK-5222 device, and use the second method if you are
using two or more AWK-5222s.
Testing Method for one AWK-5222
If you are only using one AWK-5222, you will need a second notebook computer equipped with a
WLAN card. Configure the WLAN card to connect to the AWK-5222 (NOTE: the default SSID is
MOXA_1), and change the IP address of the second notebook (B) so that it is on the same subnet
as the first notebook (A), which is connected to the AWK-5222.
After configuring the WLAN card, establish a wireless connection with the AWK-5222 and open a
DOS window on Notebook B. At the prompt, type
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.
