Step 6: Test communications We will describe two test methods. Use the first method if you are using only one AWK-3121-M12, and use the second method if you are using two or more AWK-3121-M12s. Testing method for one AWK-3121-M12 If you are only using one AWK-3121-M12, you will need a second notebook computer (B) equipped with a WLAN card.

(B) equipped with an Ethernet port. Use the default settings for the first AWK-3121-M12 connected to notebook A, and change the second or third AWK-3121-M12 connected to notebook B to Client mode and then configure the notebooks and AWK-3121-M12s properly.
DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel of the AWK-3121-M12 when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the AWK-3121-M12, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
STEP 2: Mounting the AWK-3121-M12 to a wall requires 4 screws. Use the AWK-3121-M12 device, with wall mount plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts...
Wiring Requirements WARNING Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa AWK-3121-M12. WARNING Safety First! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowed for each wire size.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-3121-M12’s top panel are used for the AWK-3121-M12’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector is shown here.
Cable Holder Installation (Optional) You can attach the cable holder to the bottom of the AWK-3121-M12. This helps to keep cabling neat and avoid accidents that result from untidy cables.
Pinouts for the 10/100BaseT(X) Port RS-232 Connection The AWK-3121-M12 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-3121-M12’s console port to your PC’s COM port.
