HBM offers a WiFi solution for the SomatXR system using the MOXA AWK-4121 wireless access point. The AWK-4121 is an industrial 802.11 ab/b/g IP68 Wireless AP/Bridge/Client. MOXA offers many antenna options to fit various applications, and comes standard with two omni-directional antennas (5/3 dBi, N-type male, 2.4/5 GHz).
It is recommended to change the SSID and wireless password for the AWK-4121 under Wireless Settings > WLAN.
Connect the AWK-4121 POWER connector to a 12‑24 VDC power source. The unit ships with a field wire-able power plug. A one-meter power cable (CBL-M12(FF5P)/Open-100 IP67) can be ordered separately. Connect the CX23-R module to a 10‑30 VDC power source. Use a 1-KABTBD cable to connect the CX23-R HOST connector to the AWK4121 LAN port.
Connect MX or EX23-R modules to the CX23-R as normal. For information, refer to Connecting MX Modules to a CX23-R.
To make the most use of the bandwidth and security, it is necessary to set up the EX23-R to have two virtual local area networks (VLANs). One VLAN contains the CX23-R and AWK-4121 ports and the second VLAN contains all other ports. For this example, the CX23-R uses port 1 and the AWK-4121 uses port 9.
Use a 1-KABTBD cable to connect the AWK-4121 LAN port to one of the EX23-R PoE ports. Connect the EX23-R and CX23-R modules to a power supply. Then use 1-KAB2107 cables to connect the CX23-R HOST and ETHERNET1 connectors to two open ports on the EX23-R Switch.
Connect MX modules or additional EX modules to the EX Switch as normal. For information, refer to Distributed network using EX23-R Ethernet switches.
NOTE
It is recommended to order a cap for the AWK-4121 POWER connector (A‑CAP‑M12M‑M).
