Overview

The TAP-213 outdoor wireless AP/client is the ideal ruggedized wireless

solution for railway onboard and train-to-ground applications such as

CCTV and CBTC communications. It can provide speeds of up to 300

Mbps with IEEE 802.11n technology. The TAP-213’s dust-

tight/weatherproof design is IP68-rated, and it can operate at

temperatures ranging from

-40 to 75°C, allowing you to extend wireless networks to outdoor

locations and critical environments.

NOTE

For a list of recommended optional accessories, refer to the

TAP

-213 datasheet available at:

http://www.moxa.com/product/TAP-213.htm

Installation and Configuration

Before installing the TAP-213, make sure that all items in the package

checklist are included in the box. In addition, you will need access to a

notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The TAP-213

has a default IP address that you must use when connecting to the

device for the first time.

Step 1: Select the power source

The TAP-213 can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power-over-

Ethernet).

Step 2: Connect the TAP-213 to a notebook or PC

Since the TAP-213 is provided with the MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing

capability, you can use either a straight-through cable or crossover

cable to connect it to a computer. When the connection between the

TAP-213 and the computer is established, the LED indicator on the TAP-

213’s LAN port lights up.

Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address

Set an IP address for the computer so that it is on the same subnet as

that of the TAP-213. Since the TAP-213’s default IP address is

192.168.127.253, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, set the IP

address of the computer in the 192.168.127.xxx IP range and subnet

mask to 255.255.255.0.

Step 4: Use the web-based manager to configure the

TAP-213

Open your computer’s web browser and type

http://192.168.127.253 in the address field to access the homepage

of the web-based manager. Enter the Username and Password to

open the TAP-213 homepage. If you are configuring the TAP-213 for

the first time, enter the following default Username and Password and

click on the Login button:

Username: admin

Password: moxa

ATTENTION

For security reasons, we strongly recommend changing the

assword after first access. To change the password, select

Maintenance 

Password and follow the on-screen

instructions.

Step 5: Select the operation mode for the TAP-213

By default, the operation mode of the TAP-213 is set to AP. You can

change this setting to Client mode on the Wireless Settings Basic

Wireless Settings page.

NOTE

You must either click the Save Configuration or the Restart

button for the configuration changes to be effective.

Wall-mounting holes

Mounting Dimensions

Unit: mm (inch)

Wall Mounting

In most applications, wall mounting the TAP-213 is the most commonly

used method, which makes installation easier as illustrated below:

STEP 1:

Attach the wall-mounting plates with M4 screws.

- 6 -

STEP 2:

Mounting the

TAP-213 to a wall requires 4 screws. Use

the

TAP-213 device, with wall-mounting plates

attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of

the 4 screws. The heads of the screws should be 6.0

mm in diameter, and the

shafts should be less than

3.5

mm in diameter, as shown in the figure at the right.

Do not drive the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to

allow room for sliding the wall-mount panel between the wall and the

screws.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screw into

one of the keyhole shaped apertures of the

wall-mounting

plates before driving the screws into the wall.

STEP 3:

Once the screws are driven into the wall, insert the four screw heads

through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures in the wall-

mount plates, and then slide the TAP-213 downwards, as indicated to

the right. Tighten the four screws for added stability.

DIN-Rail Mounting (Optional)

The DIN-rail mounting method is used in industrial or railway

application. You will require a DIN-rail attachment plate, which is an

optional accessory, to mount the TAP-213 to a DIN rail. When you

attach the DIN-rail attachment plate to the TAP-213, make sure that

the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top as shown in the

following instructions:

- 7 -

STEP 1:

Attached the DIN-rail mounting plates to the TAP-213 using M3 screws.

STEP 2:

Insert the top of the DIN rail into

the slot just

below the stiff metal

spring.

STEP 3:

The DIN

-rail attachment unit will

snap into place as shown in the

figure below:

To remove the TAP-213 from the DIN rail, simply reverse Steps 2 and

- 8 -

Pole Mounting (Optional)

You might find it more convenient to mount the TAP-213 on a pole for

some applications, as illustrated below. The edges of the iron rings that

are part of the pole-mounting kit are sharp. We suggest that you wear

gloves to protect your hands during the installation process.

STEP 1:

Attach the pole-mounting kit to the TAP-213 using M4 screws.

STEP 2:

Install the TAP-213 on a pole and use a flathead screwdriver to fasten

the screws on the rings of the pole-mounting kit to secure it to the

pole.

WARNING

•

This equipment is intended to be used in a Restricted

Access Location, such as a dedicated computer room

where

access can only be gained by SERVICE PERSONS or by

USERS who have been instructed about the fact that the

metal chassis of the equipment is extremely hot and may

cause burns.

•

Access to the equipment should be controlled through the

use of a lock and key or a security identification system,

controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

Only authorized, well-trained professionals should be

allowed to access the restricted access location.

•

Service persons or users must pay special attention and

take special precautions before handling this equipment.

External Metal Parts are Hot!

•Use adequate protection before handling this device.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or

wiring your TAP-213.

WARNING

Safety First!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and

common wire. Observe all electrical codes

that dictate the

maximum current allowed for each wire size.

If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring

could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment.

You should also pay attention to the following items:

•Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power

wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are

perpendicular at the intersection point.

NOTE

Do not run signal or communications wiring and power wiring in

the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with

different signal characteristics should be routed separately.

•You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to

determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb

is that wiring with similar electrical characteristics can be bundled

together.

•Keep input wiring and output wiring separate.

•It is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the

system for easy identification.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit

marked

“Class 2” or “LPS” and rated O/P:

24 to 110 VDC, 15 W

(max.)

ATTENTION

Make sure

the external power adapter (includes power cords

and plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and

suitable for use in your country.

Grounding the Moxa TAP-213

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.

Connecting the Power Supplies

The TAP-213 Tough AP series supports two types of power supplies—

PWR1 and PWR2. The 4-pin male M12 A-coded connector on the TAP-

213 front panel is used for the dual power inputs. You can use the

metal M12 male 4-pin A-coded screw-type crimp circular connector with

pins for power connection included with the product or purchase the

M12 power cable (optional) CBL-M12(FF4P)/Open-BK-100-IP68 for lab

use/tests.

Pinouts for the power input (4-pin male M12 A-coded) port:

Pin No.
