Quick Start Guide
Connecting Devices To The AZM For Configuration
Out of the box, the AZM is configured to connect to an existing network via
the back panel Ethernet port. However, there are two additional methods for
connecting to the AZM for configuration. If no existing network is available,
it is recommended that the onboard Wi-Fi be used in access point mode for
initial configuration.
-
Ethernet Connection (Wired connection)
- Connect an RJ45 cable (CAT5e or CAT6) from the AZM network port to an existing network
- Using a web browser enabled device on the network, navigate to the IP address that appears on the AZM front panel screen using the address bar located in the web browser.
-
Wi-Fi Connection (Connect to existing wireless network)
- From the front panel menu enable Wi-Fi mode (Network>WiFi>Change Mode>WiFi then confirm the change)
- Select the Wi-Fi network you would like to connect to (Network>WiFi>WiFi Networks)
- Enter the password and then select the green check-mark to connect to the network
Note : The Wi-Fi connection can be set up in the user interface if the AZM is connected via the Ethernet port.
-
Access Point Connection (On board Wi-Fi creates a local wireless network for connection)
- From the front panel menu enable Access Point mode (Network>WiFi>Change Mode>Access Pt then confirm the change
- The unit will now broadcast an SSID (AtlasIED_AZM will be the default SSID) that can be found using Wi-Fi enabled devices
- Select the now available network from the settings page on your device and connect (The default password is AtlasIED. This can be changed in the user interface)
- Using a web browser on the device, navigate to the IP address that appears on the AZM front panel screen using the address bar located in the web browser.
Connecting Accessories
All accessories are plug and play and are recognized by the AZM when plugged
in. Below are rules that need to be followed in order to guarantee adequate
and reliable performance of all connected accessories.
- Up to 8 accessories can be daisy chained from a single port
- Up to 16 accessories can be connected to a single AZM (a maximum of 8 X-ANS accessories can be used per AZM)
- The maximum cable length from the AZM to the last accessory on the chain is 1000′ (305m)
- There are no cable length restrictions between accessories
- The “IN” port is connected to the upstream device (AZM or other accessory)
