Since the driver includes encryption software, you should also adhere to the appropriate
regulations for your specific country.
Possible applications of the SCALANCE W788
The SCALANCE W788 is equipped with an Ethernet interface and one or two WLAN
interfaces. This makes the device suitable for the following applications:
● The SCALANCE W788 forwards data within its transmission range from one node to
another without a connection to wired Ethernet being necessary.
● The SCALANCE W788 can be used as a gateway from a wired to a wireless network.
● The SCALANCE W788 can be used as a wireless bridge between two networks.
● The SCALANCE W788 can be used as a bridge between two different frequencies.
● The SCALANCE W788 supports the protection class IP65 and the protection class IP30.
The access points are available in two versions:
– M12 for degree of protection IP65
– RJ-45 for the degree of protection IP30
With a SCALANCE W788 with two WLAN interfaces, you can also implement a redundant
wireless connection to a SCALANCE W78x with two WLAN interfaces.
Possible applications of the SCALANCE W786
The SCALANCE W786 is equipped with up to two Ethernet interfaces and up to two WLAN
interfaces. This makes the device suitable for the following applications:
● Due to its extended temperature range, the SCALANCE W786 can be recommended in
particular for outdoor applications.
● The SCALANCE W786 forwards data within its transmission range from one node to
another without a connection to wired Ethernet being necessary.
● The SCALANCE W786 can be used as a gateway from a wired to a wireless network.
● The SCALANCE W786 can be used as a wireless bridge between two networks.
● The SCALANCE W786 can be used as a bridge between two cells operating at different
frequencies.
With a SCALANCE W786 with more than one WLAN interface, you can also implement a
redundant wireless connection to a SCALANCE W78x with a maximum of two WLAN
interfaces.
