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

STEP 1:

Insert the top of the DIN r
slot just below the stiff metal spring.

STEP 2:

The DIN
snap into place as shown below.

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.

Wall Mounting (optional)

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum
DIN
from the AWK
then attach the wall mount
plates with M
shown in the adjacent
diagrams.

STEP 2:

Mounting the AWK-1131A to a wall requires 4 screws.
Use the AWK
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.

NOTE

Test the screw head and shank size by inserting the screws into
one of the k

lates

before attaching the plate to the wall.

STEP 3:

Once the screws are fixed into
the wall, insert the
heads through the large opening
of the keyhole
apertures, and then slide the
AWK
indicated to the right. Tighten
the four screws for added
stability.

For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the
AWK-1131A to a wall, as illustrated below.

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.
