Overview

Moxa’s new AWK-3131A 3-in-1 industrial wireless Access Point 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-3131A combines two adjacent 20 MHz channels into a

single 40 MHz channel to deliver a potent combination of greater

reliability and more bandwidth. The two redundant DC power inputs

increase the reliability of the power supply, and the AWK-3131A can be

powered via PoE to make deployment easier. The AWK-3131A can

operate on either the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands and is backwards-compatible

with existing 802.11a/b/g deployments.

Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm)

DIN-Rail Mounting

The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel

of the AWK-3131A when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach

the DIN-rail attachment plate to the AWK-3131A, 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-3131A from the DIN rail, reverse Steps 1 and 2.

- 5 -

Wall Mounting (optional)

For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the

AWK-3131A to a wall, as illustrated below.

STEP 1:

Remove the aluminum

DIN

-rail attachment plate

from the AWK

-3131A, and

then attach the wall mount

plates with M3 screws, as

shown in

the adjacent

diagrams.

STEP 2:

Mounting the AWK

3131A to a wall requires 3 screws.

Use the AWK

-3131A device, with wall mount plates

attached, as a guide to mark the correct locations of

the 3 screws. The heads of the screws should be less

than 6.0 mm i

n 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-mount 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 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

-3131A downwards, as

indicated to the right. Tighten the

three screws for added stability.

WARNING

•

This equipment is intended to be used in a location with

restricted access, such as a dedicated computer room

where

only authorized service personnel or users can gain acc

ess.

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 attenti

on and

take special precautions before handling the equipment.

•

Access to the room where the equipment is installed must

controlled

by the authority responsible for the location either

through the use of a lock and key or a security identity

system. Only authorized, well-trained professionals should

be allowed to access the restricted access location.

•

External metal parts are hot!! Pay special attention or use

special protection before handling the equipment.

Wiring Requirements

WARNING

Safety First!

Be sure to disconnect t

he power cord before installing and/or

wiring your Moxa AWK-3131A.

WARNING

Safety First!

Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and

common wire. Observe all electrical codes that dictate 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:

Max. 7.2 W (12 V/0.6 A

to 48 V/0.15 A), 25°C.

ATTENTION

Make sure

the external power adapte

r (includes power cords and

plug assemblies) provided with the unit is certified and suitable

for use in your country.

ATTENTION

Do not use the PoE Injector. Instead, please use an IEEE 802.3af

or IEEE 802.3at compliant PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) for

PoE (Power over Ethernet) devices.

Grounding the Moxa AWK-3131A

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 pr

oduct is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded

mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

Installations with 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. Install lightning arresters, both for the device and

the antenna system, and ground the device as well as the arrester

properly to provide maximum outdoor protection for your device.

Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs

The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector

on the AWK-3131A’s top panel are used for the AWK-3131A’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.

STEP 3:

Insert the plastic terminal block

connector prongs into the terminal block

receptor, which is

located on the AWK-3131A’s

op panel.

NOTE: Input Terminal Block (CN1) is suitable for

wire size range of 12

-28 AWG (3.31-0.0804

mm²) and a torque value of 4.5 lb-in (0.51 Nm).

ATTENTION

If the AWK

-3131A is connected to a motor or other similar

type of

equipment, be sure to use power isolation protection. Before

connecting the

AWK-3131A to the DC power inputs, make sure

the DC power source voltage is stable.

Wiring the Relay Contact

The AWK-3131A has one relay output, which consists of the two contacts

of the terminal block on the AWK-3131A’s top panel. Refer to the previous

section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the

terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector

to the terminal block receptor. These relay contacts are used to indicate

user-configured events. The two wires attached to the Relay contacts

form an open circuit when a user-configured event is triggered. If a

user-configured event does not occur, the Relay circuit will be closed.

Wiring the Digital Inputs

The AWK-3131A has two sets of digital inputs—DI1 and DI2. Each DI

comprises two contacts of the 10-pin terminal block connector on the

AWK-3131A’s top panel. Refer to the “Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs”

section for detailed instructions on how to connect the wires to the

terminal block connector, and how to attach the terminal block connector

to the terminal block receptor.

Cable Holder Installation

Attach the cable holder to the bottom of the AWK-3131A to keep cabling

neat and avoid accidents that result from untidy cables.

STEP 1: Screw the cable holder onto the bottom

of the AWK

-3131A.

STEP 2: After mounting the AWK-3131A and plugging in the LAN cable,

tighten the cable along the device and wall.

Communication Connections

10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection

The 10/100BaseT(X) ports located on the AWK-3131A’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.

the Moxa AWK-3131A’s console port to your PC’s COM port. You may then

use a console terminal program to access the AWK-3131A for console

configuration.
