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
AWK-1137C 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. If you need to
reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate to the AWK-1137C, 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:

Gently push the device

towards the

DIN rail until the D

IN-

rail attachment

unit snaps into place as shown below:

To remove the AWK-1137C from the DIN rail, reverse steps 1 and 2.

Wall Mounting (Optional)

For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the
AWK-1137C to a wall, as illustrated below:

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 two

screws. Use

the AWK-1137C device, with

wall

-mounting

plates attached, as a guide to mark the

correct locations of the

two 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.

Do not drive the screws in all the way—leave a space of about 2 mm to
allow room for sliding the wall-mounting panel between the wall and the
screws.

NOTE

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

-shaped apertures of the wall-

mounting plates

before they are fixed to the wall.

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.
