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 or the 5 GHz band and is backward compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments.

Mounting Dimensions Unit = mm (inch) DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate comes attached to the back panel of the AWK-1137C when you take it out of the box.
STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate from the AWK-1137C, and then attach the wall-mounting plates with M3 screws, as shown in the adjacent diagrams. STEP 2: Mounting the AWK-1137C to a wall requires 2 screws. Use the AWK-1137C device, with wall-mounting plates attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of the 2 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 6.0 mm in diameter, and the shafts should be less than 3.5 mm in diameter, as shown in the figure on the right.
WARNING • This equipment is intended to be used in a Restricted Access Location, such as a dedicated computer room where only authorized service personnel or users can gain access. Such personnel must be instructed about the fact that the metal chassis of the equipment is extremely hot and may cause burns. • Service personnel or users have to pay special attention and take special precautions before handling this equipment.
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 AWK-1137C 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.
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-1137C’s top panel are used for the AWK-1137C’s two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown below: STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals. STEP 2: To keep the DC wires from pulling loose, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the wire-clamp screws on the front of the terminal block connector.
Installing the Antenna Locking Clamp Utilize the antenna locking clamp to secure the antennas to the AWK-1137C for added stability when you install the device in a high-vibration environment. STEP 1: Slide the clamps into the antenna port. STEP 2: Use screw to fix the clamps to the side panel of the AWK-1137C as shown below: Communication Connections 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the AWK-1137C’s front panel are used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices.
LED Indicators The front and side panel of the Moxa AWK-1137C contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below: LED Color Green SYS Red Green WLAN Amber LAN1 Green LAN2 Serial State On Blinking + Beeps (Interval: 1 second) On Blinking (Interval: 0.

ATTENTION This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. The operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device must not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operations. 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.
NOTE If you are using an Ethernet-to-USB adapter, follow the instructions in the user’s manual provided with the adapter. • Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address Choose an IP address for the computer that is on the same subnet as the AWK. Since the AWK’s default IP address is 192.168.127.253, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, set the IP address to 192.168.127.xxx, where xxx is a value between 1 and 252. • Step 4: Access the homepage of the AWK.
• Step 2: Set up your own SSID. Go to Wireless LAN Setup WLAN Basic WLAN Setup and click Edit to set the SSID. NOTE The default SSID is MOXA. • Step 3: Set the RF type and Channel for the AWK. Go to Wireless LAN Setup WLAN Basic WLAN Setup. We recommend that you choose the RF type 5 GHz for a relative clean medium with minimum interference. For the Channel setting, we recommend that you choose a channel other than the default channel to avoid interference.
