Step 5: Select the operation mode for the AWK-5222 By default, the AWK-5222’s operation mode is set to Wireless Redundancy. You can change the setting in Wireless Settings Operation mode if you would like to use the Wireless Bridge or AP-Client mode.
The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel of the AWK-5222 when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate to the AWK-5222, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
Wall Mounting (optional) For transportation applications that require an EN50155 certification report, you should purchase the optional wall mount for the AWK-5222, since the wall mount has passed EN50155 testing. The wall mount is also convenient for other applications that require mounting the AWK-5222 to a wall.
Grounding the Moxa AWK-5222 Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices.
Installations with Unstable Power Inputs There are cases where the device has to be wired to the same power source as other equipment. In such cases if equipment such as motors that are connected in the circuit draw a large amount of current during operation, the transient voltage drop could potentially cause the AWK to become unstable.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-5222’s top panel are used for the AWK-5222’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector is shown here.
Wiring the Relay Contact The AWK-5222 has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on the AWK-5222’s top panel. Refer to the previous section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector to the terminal block receptor.

The AWK-5222 has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located on the front panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect the Moxa AWK-5222’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program to access the AWK-5222 for console configuration.
LED Indicators The front panel of the Moxa AWK-5222 contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below: Color State Description Front Panel LED Indicators (System) Power is being supplied from power input 1.

Details See www.moxa.com/warranty ATTENTION The AWK-5222 is NOT a portable mobile device and should be located at least 20 cm away from the human body. The AWK-5222 is NOT designed for the general public. A well-trained technician is required to deploy the AWK-3191 units and safely establish a wireless network.
