Before installing the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC, make sure that all items in the Package Checklist are in the box.
You will need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The AWK-3131A-M12-RCC
has a default IP address that must be used when connecting to the device for the first time.
•
Step 1: Select the power source.
The AWK-3131A-M12-RCC can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power over Ethernet). The
AWK-3131A-M12-RCC will use whichever power source you choose.
•
Step 2: Connect the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC to a notebook or PC.
Since the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through
cable or crossover cable to connect the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC to a computer. The LED indicator on the
AWK-3131A-M12-RCC’s LAN port will light up when a connection is established.
•
Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address.
Choose an IP address on the same subnet as the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC. Since the AWK-3131A-M12-RCC’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.
