Getting Started
2-2
First-time Installation and Configuration
Before installing the AWK-5232, 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-5232 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-5232 can be powered by DC power input or PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus). The AWK-5232 will use
whichever power source you choose.
ATTENTION
Do NOT use either an IEEE802.3af PoE Injector NOR a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment). Use only
an IEEE802.3at compliant PSE for PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) device.
Step 2: Connect the AWK-5232 to a notebook or PC.
Since the AWK-5232 supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight through cable or
crossover cable to connect the AWK-5232 to a computer. If the LED indicator on AWK-5232’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-5232. Since the AWK-5232’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.
NOTE
After you select Maintenance
Load Factory Default and click the Submit button, the AWK-5232 will be
reset to factory default settings and the IP address will be also reset to 192.168.127.253.
Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure AWK-5232
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 default username
and password and then click on the Login button:
