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.

1 – 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

2 – 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

3 – Access Point Connection (Onboard 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
