Welcome
Welcome to the Getting Started for the Mobile Panel 277 IWLAN. Taking the
Mobile Panel 277 IWLAN as an example, we will show you how to set up and
configure a WLAN wireless network. Wireless operator-control and monitoring
devices are primarily used in applications where inaccessible process stations
have to be reached quickly: cranes, high-bay warehouses, telpher lines and
even physically separated subnets. With its WLAN flexibility, the
Mobile Panel 277 IWLAN offers you great flexibility.
The Getting Started will give you a brief introduction into WLAN technology.
You can use it to perform the following tasks:
• Setting up and configuring a WLAN
• Creating a project to display WLAN wireless network quality
And finally, we will give you some useful tips on how to plan a wireless network
in a production environment.
The following components have been used for the example in this
