The network function of the AW-UR100 will not operate without setting up an initial account.
Even when connecting to a remote controller: AW-RP150 or AW-RP60, or external control equipment over the network, an initial account setup is required.
A computer is needed to set up the initial account.
For the initial account setup method, please refer to the AW-UR100 Operating Instructions (Simplified Version) [Setting Up the Initial Account] page.
If the initial account is not set, the AW-RP150 or AW-RP60 will be able to recognize the AW-UR100, but control will not be possible.

The following problem occurred, but we have released a fixed firmware.
Please update the firmware to Ver. 1.25 or later.
Symptom:
Even if the DRS function is set, if you turn the power off once or set standby mode, there was a problem where the effect of the DRS function is disabled when you restart the unit.
The settings you have set are reflected in the menu, but they are not working, so you had to set DRS again in the menu.

Please select an SFP+ module that complies with the MSA standard, with the MOD-DEF0 pin internally connected to Ground.
AW-UE150A, AW-UE160 and AW-UR100 detect the inserted SFP+ module with the MOD_DEF0 pin and control the power supply.
For third party devices that the operation has been confirmed, please refer to the link.
