Step 6: Test communications
We will describe two test methods. Use the first method if you are using
only one AWK-3121, and use the second method if you are using two or
more AWK-3121s.
Testing method for one AWK-3121
If you are only using one AWK-3121, you will need a second notebook
computer (B) equipped with a WLAN card. Configure the WLAN card to
connect to the AWK-3121 (the default SSID is MOXA) and change the IP
address of notebook B so that it is on the same subnet as the first
notebook (A), which is connected to the AWK-3121.
After configuring the WLAN card, establish a wireless connection with the
AWK-3121 and open a DOS window on notebook B. At the prompt, type
ping IP address of notebook A
and then press the Enter key. 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.
Testing method for two or more AWK-3121s
If you have two or more AWK-3121s, you will need a second notebook
computer (B) equipped with an Ethernet port. Use the default settings for
