Installation and Configuration
Before installing AWK-3121, check to 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. AWK-3121 has a default IP
address that you must use when connecting to AWK-3121 for the first time.
Step 1: Select the Power Source
AWK-3121 can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power over
Ethernet). AWK-3121 will use the power source that you choose.
Step 2: Connect AWK-3121 to a notebook or PC
Since AWK-3121 supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you can use either a
straight-through cable or cross-over cable to connect AWK-3121 to the
notebook, if the LED on AWK-3121’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-3121. Since AWK-3121’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.
Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure AWK-3121
Open your computer’s web browser and then type http://192.168.127.253 in
the address box 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
