First-Time Installation and Configuration 
Before installing AWK-1100, 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-1100 has a default IP address that you must use when connecting to AWK-1100 for 
the first time. 
NOTE 
For testing requirements, if you only have one AWK-1100, we strongly suggest that you prepare 
a notebook computer or PC with a wireless LAN adapter installed. After finishing the installation 
and configuration, you should test AWK-1100 to make sure the wireless transmission is working 
normally. 
Step 1: Select the Power Source 
AWK-1100 can be powered by a DC power input, or by PoE (Power over Ethernet). AWK-1100 
will use the power source that you choose. 
NOTE 
The PoE capability of the bridge is PowerDsine-compatible. Please visit PowerDsine’s website 
for more information (
). 
Step 2: Connect AWK-1100 to a notebook or PC 
Since AWK-1100 supports MID/MID-X auto-sensing, you can use either a straight-through cable 
or cross-over cable to connect AWK-1100 to the notebook, if the LAN LED on AWK-1100’s front 
panel lights up, it means the connection is established. 
Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address 
In a Windows environment, the computer’s IP address can be changed in the TCP/IP settings 
window. Select an IP address on the same subnet as the AWK-1100. Since AWK-1100’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-1100 
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 the default user name and password and then click on OK
