AWK-1137C Quick Installation Guide Moxa AirWorks Edition 7.0, October 2018 Technical Support Contact Information www.moxa.
Overview The AWK-1137C industrial Wi-Fi client meets the growing need for faster data transmission speeds and wider coverage by supporting IEEE 802.11n technology with a net data rate of up to 300 Mbps. The AWK1137C combines two adjacent 20 MHz channels into a single 40 MHz channel to deliver a potent combination of greater reliability and more bandwidth. The AWK-1137C can operate on either the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz band and is backward compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments.

Mounting Dimensions Unit = mm (inch) DIN-Rail Mounting When shipped, the metal DIN-rail mounting kit is fixed to the back panel of the AWK-1137C. Mount the AWK-1137C on the corrosion-free mounting rail that adheres to the EN 60715 standard. STEP 1: Insert the upper lip of the DINrail kit into the mounting rail. STEP 2: Press the AWK-1137C towards the mounting rail until it snaps into place.
To remove the AWK-1137C from the DIN rail, do the following: STEP 1: Pull down the latch on the DINrail kit with a screwdriver. STEP 2 & 3: Slightly pull the AWK-1137C forward and lift it up to remove it from the mounting rail.
STEP 3a: Once the screws are fixed into the wall, insert the two screw heads through the large opening of the keyhole-shaped apertures, and then slide the AWK-1137C downwards, as indicated to the right. Tighten the two screws for added stability. STEP 3b: Alternatively, insert four screws directly through the AWK-1137C into the wall.
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.
Installing Cable Extended Antennas for Outdoor Applications If the antenna or the AWK device is installed outdoors or in an open-air setting, proper lightning protection is required to prevent direct lightning strikes on the AWK device. In order to prevent coupling currents from nearby lightning strikes, a lightning arrester should be installed as part of your antenna system. Ground the device, antenna, as well as the arrester properly to provide maximum outdoor protection for the device.
NOTE Input Terminal Block (CN1) is suitable for wire size range of 1228 AWG (3.31-0.0804 mm²) and a torque value of 4.5 lb-in (0.51 Nm) ATTENTION If the AWK-1137C is connected to a motor or other similar type of equipment, be sure to use power isolation protection. Before connecting the AWK-1137C to the DC power inputs, make sure the DC power source voltage is stable. Using the Reset Button The Reset button is used to load the factory default settings.

ATTENTION Do not locate the antenna near overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with such circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care not to come into contact with such circuits, because they may cause serious injury or death. For proper installation and grounding of the antenna, refer to national and local codes (for example, U.S.: NFPA 70; National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 810; Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • • • • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Software Setup This section covers the software setup for AWK models in general. How to Access the AWK Before installing the AWK device (AWK), make sure that all items in the package checklist are provided in the product box. You will also need access to a notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. • Step 1: Select a suitable power source and plug in the AWK. The AWK can be powered by DC power ranging from 9 VDC to 30 VDC.
Point-to-Multipoint Scenario (Client Mode) Configuring the AWK as a Client • Step 1: Set the operation mode of the AWK to Client mode. Go to Wireless LAN Setup Operation Mode, select Client and click Submit to apply the change. NOTE • The default operation mode for the AWK is Client. Step 2: Link to an existing SSID. Go to Wireless LAN Setup WLAN Basic WLAN Setup and click Site Survey to select an existing SSID, or directly enter an existing SSID in the text field. The default SSID is • MOXA.
Point-to-Point Scenario (Slave mode) Configuring the AWK as a Slave • Step 1: Set the operation mode of the AWK to Slave mode. Go to Wireless LAN Setup Operation Mode, set the operation mode to Slave, and then click Submit to apply the change. • Step 2: Link to an existing SSID. Go to Wireless LAN Setup WLAN Basic WLAN Setup and click Site Survey to select an existing SSID, or directly enter an existing SSID in the text field. • Step 3: Set the RF type for the AWK.
