AWK-1131A
Quick Installation Guide
Moxa AirWorks
Third Edition, July 2015
- 2 -
Overview
The AWK-1131A industrial wireless Access Point meets the growing need
for faster data transmission speeds by supporting IEEE 802.11n
technology with a net data rate of up to 300 Mbps. The AWK-1131A is
compliant with the industrial standards and approvals, covering operating
temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD and vibration. The two
redundant DC power inputs increase the reliability of the power supply.
The AWK-1131A can operate on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands and is
backwards-compatible with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments to
future-proof your wireless investments.

Mounting Dimensions
Unit = mm (inch)
DIN-Rail Mounting
The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back
panel of the AWK-1131A when you take it out of the box. If you need to
reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the AWK-1131A, make sure the
stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures
below.
STEP 1:
Insert the top of the DIN-Rail into
the slot just below the stiff metal
spring.
STEP 2:
The DIN-Rail attachment unit will
snap into place as shown below.
To remove the AWK-1131A from the DIN-Rail, simply reverse Steps 1 and
2.
- 5 -
Wall Mounting (optional)
For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the
AWK-1131A to a wall, as illustrated below.
STEP 1:
Remove the aluminum
DIN-Rail attachment plate
from the AWK-1131A, and
then attach the wall mount
plates with M3 screws, as
shown in the adjacent
diagrams.
STEP 2:
Mounting the AWK-1131A to a wall requires 4 screws.
Use the AWK-1131A device, with wall mount plates
attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of
the 4 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 at the
right.
Do not screw 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 it is screwed into the wall.
STEP 3:
Once the screws are fixed into
the wall, insert the four screw
heads through the large opening
of the keyhole-shaped
apertures, and then slide the
AWK-1131A downwards, as
indicated to the right. Tighten
the four screws for added
stability.

Wiring Requirements
WARNING
Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or
wiring your Moxa AWK-1131A.
WARNING
Safety First!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and
common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating 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
when necessary.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power Unit
marked “Class 2” or “LPS” and rated O/P: 6.72W (12V/0.56A to
48V/0.14A), 25°C.
ATTENTION
Make sure the external power adaptor (includes power cords and
plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable
for use in your country.
- 7 -
Grounding the Moxa AWK-1131A
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 4-contact terminal block connector on the AWK-1131A’s top panel is
used for the AWK-1131A’s two DC inputs. The top and front views of the
terminal block connector are shown here.
Top View
Front View
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.
STEP 3: Insert the plastic terminal block
connector prongs into the terminal block
receptor, which is located on the AWK-1131A’s
top panel.
ATTENTION
Before connecting the AWK-1131A to the DC power inputs, make
sure the DC power source voltage is stable.

Communication Connections
10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection
The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the AWK-1131A’s front panel are
used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Below we show pinouts for
both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports.

RS-232 Connection
The AWK-1131A has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located on the
top panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect
the Moxa AWK-1131A’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then
use a console terminal program to access the AWK-1131A for console
configuration.

ATTENTION
The AWK-1131A is NOT a portable mobile device and should be
located at least 20 cm away from the human body.
The AWK-1131A is NOT designed for the general public. To
deploy AWK-1131As and establish a wireless network safely, a
well-trained technician is required for installation.
- 13 -
ATTENTION
Use the antennas correctly: The 2.4 GHz antennas are needed
when the AWK-1131A operates in IEEE 802.11b/g/n. The 5 GHz
antennas are needed for IEEE802.11a/n. Make sure your antenna
installation is within a safety area, which is covered by a lightning
protection or surge arrest system.
ATTENTION
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
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. Please refer to national and local codes
(for example, U.S.:NFPA 70, National Electrical Code, Artical810,
Canada: Canadian Electrical Code, Section 54).
NOTE For installation flexibility, either the A antenna (on the front
panel) or the B antenna (on the top panel) may be selected for
using. Make sure the antenna connection matches the antenna
configured in the AWK-1131A interface.
To protect the connectors and RF module, all radio ports should
be terminated by either an antenna or a terminator. The use of
the resistive terminator for terminating the unused antenna port
is strongly recommended.
ATTENTION
