Step 5: Select the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC operation mode.
By default, the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC’s operation mode is set to AP. You can change to Client mode in
Wireless Settings
Operation Mode. Detailed information about configuring the
AWK-3131A-M12-RCC’s operation can be found in Chapter 3.

Step 6: Test communications.
In the following sections we describe two test methods that can be used to ensure that a network
connection has been established.
Communication Testing
After installing the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC you can run a sample test to make sure the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC
and wireless connection are functioning normally. Two testing methods are described below. Use the first
method if you are using only one AWK-3131A-M12-RCC device, and use the second method if you are using two
or more AWK-3131A-M12-RCC units.
How to Test One AWK-3131A-M12-RCC
If you are only using one AWK-3131A-M12-RCC, you will need a second notebook computer equipped with a
WLAN card. Configure the WLAN card to connect to the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC (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 AWK-3131A-M12-RCC.
After configuring the WLAN card, establish a wireless connection with the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC and open the
Windows Command Prompt 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.
