Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address Set an IP address on the same subnet as the AWK-5232. Since the AWK-5232’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 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.

Mounting Dimensions DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel of the AWK-5232 when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate to the AWK-5232, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below: STEP 1: STEP 2:...
Wall Mounting (optional) For transportation applications that require an EN50155 certification report, you should purchase the optional wall mount for the AWK-5232, since the wall mount has passed EN50155 testing. The wall mount is also convenient for other applications that require mounting the AWK-5232 to a wall.
Wiring Requirements WARNING Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring your Moxa AWK-5232. 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.

Grounding the Moxa AWK-5232 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. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
Arrester Accessories SA-NMNF-01: Surge arrester, N-type (male) to N-type (female) • • SA-NFNF-01: Surge arrester, N-type (female) to N-type (female) Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-5232’s top panel are used for the AWK-5232’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector is shown here.
Wiring the Relay Contact The AWK-5232 has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts of the terminal block on the AWK-5232’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.
Communication Connections 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the AWK-5232’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. The pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports are shown below: MDI Port Pinouts MDI-X Port Pinouts 8-pin RJ45 Signal Signal...
NOTE The pin numbers for DB9 and DB25 male connectors, and hole numbers for DB9 and DB25 female connectors are labeled on the connector strip. However, the numbers are typically quite small, so you may need to use a magnifying glass to see the numbers clearly.
