Step

Test

communications

We 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 equipped with a WLAN card. Configure the WLAN card for

connecting to AWK-3121 (the default SSID is MOXA), and change the IP

address of notebook B so that it is on the same subnet as notebook A.

After connecting the WLAN card, connect to AWK-3121 and open a DOS

window on notebook B. At the prompt, type

ping

address

notebook

and then press 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 equipped with an Ethernet port. Use the default settings for the

first AWK-3121, and change the second or third AWK-3121 to AP Client

mode and then configure the notebook and AWK-3121s properly.

After setting up the testing environment, open a DOS window on notebook

B. At the prompt, type
