Testing method for two or more IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABGs If you have two or more IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABGs, you will need a second notebook computer (B) equipped with an Ethernet port. Use the default settings for the first IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG connected to notebook A, and change the second or third IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG connected to notebook B to Client mode and then configure the notebooks and IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABGs properly.
Mounting Dimensions (unit = mm) 45.80 [1.80"] 105.00 [4.13"] 52.98 [2.09"] DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate should be fixed to the back panel of the wireless device when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-Rail attachment plate to the device, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
Wall Mounting (optional) For some applications, it may be more convenient to mount the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG to a wall, as illustrated below. STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the plate IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG, and ⇒ then attach the wall mount plates with M3 screws, as shown in the adjacent bottom...

WARNING Safety First! Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating 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: •...
Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The top two pairs of contacts of the 10-contact terminal block connector on the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG’s top panel are used for the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG’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.
Cable Holder Installation (Optional) You can attach the cable holder to the bottom of the wireless device. This helps to keep cabling neat and avoid accidents that result from untidy cables. STEP 1: Screw the cable holder onto the bottom of the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG.
RS-232 Connection The IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG has one RS-232 (8-pin RJ45) console port located on the front panel. Use either an RJ45-to-DB9 or RJ45-to-DB25 cable to connect the console port of the wireless device to your PC’s COM port. You may then use a console terminal program to access the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG for console configuration.
LED Indicators The front panel of Weidmüller’s IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below. Color State Description Front Panel LED Indicators (System) Power is being supplied from power input 1. PWR1 Green Power is not being supplied from power input 1.
