Introduction
The AWK-1137C is an ideal client solution for industrial wireless mobile applications. It enables WLAN connections for both Ethernet and serial
devices, and is compliant with industrial standards and approvals covering operating temperature, power input voltage, surge, ESD, and vibration.
The AWK-1137C 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. The Wireless add-on for the MXview network management utility visualizes the AWK's invisible wireless
connections to ensure wall-to-wall Wi-Fi connectivity.

Industrial Ruggedness
• Integrated antenna and power isolation designed to provide 500 V insulation protection against external electrical interference
• -40 to 75°C wide operating temperature models (-T) available for smooth wireless communication in harsh environments

Mobility-oriented Design
• Client-based Turbo Roaming1 for < 150 ms roaming recovery time between APs
• MIMO technology to ensure transmitting and receiving capability while on the move
• Anti-vibration performance (with reference to IEC 60068-2-6)

Easy Integration
• Semi-automatically configurable to reduce deployment cost
• AeroMag support for error-free setup of your industrial applications’ basic WLAN settings
• Various communication interfaces for connecting to different types of devices
• One-to-many NAT to simplify your machine setup

Wireless Network Management With MXview Wireless

• Dynamic topology view shows the status of wireless links and connection changes at a glance
• Visual, interactive roaming playback function to review the roaming history of clients
• Detailed device information and performance indicator charts for individual AP and client devices

1. The Turbo Roaming recovery time indicated herein is an average of test results documented, in optimized conditions, across APs configured with interference-free
20-MHz RF channels, WPA2-PSK security, and default Turbo Roaming parameters. The clients are configured with 3-channel roaming at 100 Kbps traffic load.
Other conditions may also impact roaming performance. For more information about Turbo Roaming parameter settings, refer to the product manual.
