AWK Series User Manual

First-time Installation and Configuration

Before installing the AWK Series, make sure that all items in the Package Checklist listed in the Quick

Installation Guide are in the box. You will need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an

Ethernet port.

NOTE

The images in the instructions below use the AWK-3252A Series interface for reference. The instructions are identical

for all supported AWK models.

Step 1: Select the power source.

The AWK Series can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power over Ethernet) if applicable.

NOTE

For PoE-capable models, when both a DC and PoE power source is connected, the DC input will be the

default primary power source while PoE will be secondary. Using both DC and PoE power sources at the

same time does not provide seamless power redundancy. In the event the DC power source goes down,

the AWK will perform a reboot to negotiate the PoE protocol before switching to the PoE source.

Step 2: Connect the AWK Series to a notebook or PC.

Since the AWK Series supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through or

crossover cable to connect the AWK Series to the computer. The LED indicator on the AWK Series'

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 Series. Since the AWK Series' 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.

Step 4: Access the homepage of the AWK.

Open your computer’s web browser and type https://192.168.127.253 in the address field to

access the AWK’s homepage. If successfully connected, the AWK’s interface homepage will

appear. Click NEXT.
