  • Page 2: Package Checklist

    Overview Weidmüller Wi-Fi devices are ideal for applications that are hard to wire, too expensive to wire, or use mobile equipment that connects over a TCP/IP network. The devices meet the growing need for faster data transmission speeds by supporting IEEE 802.11n technology with a net data rate of up to 300 Mbps.

  • Page 4: Mounting Dimensions

    Mounting Dimensions DIN-Rail Mounting The aluminum DIN-rail attachment plate should already be fixed to the back panel of the Wi-Fi device when you take it out of the box. If you need to reattach the DIN-rail attachment plate, make sure the stiff metal spring is situated towards the top, as shown in the figures below.
  • Page 5: Wall Mounting (Optional)

    Wall Mounting (optional) For some applications, you will find it convenient to mount the Wi-Fi device on the wall, as shown in the following figures. STEP 1: Remove the aluminum DIN-Rail attachment plate from the switch rear panel, and then attach the wall mount plates as shown in the diagram at the right.
  • Page 6: Wiring Requirements

    Wiring Requirements WARNING Safety First! Be sure to disconnect the power cord before installing and/or wiring the Wireless Access Point/Client. 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.
  • Page 7 Grounding the Wireless Access Point/Client Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel.
  • Page 8: Wiring The Redundant Power Inputs

    Wiring the Redundant Power Inputs The 4-contact terminal block connector on the Wireless Access Point/Client´s top panel are used for the two DC inputs. Top and front views of the terminal block connector are shown here. STEP 1: Insert the negative/positive DC wires into the V-/V+ terminals.
  • Page 9: Communication Connections

    Communication Connections 10/100BaseT(X) Ethernet Port Connection The 10/100BaseT(X) port located on the Wireless Access Point/Client´s front panel is used to connect to Ethernet-enabled devices. Below we show pinouts for both MDI (NIC-type) ports and MDI-X (HUB/Switch-type) ports. MDI Port Pinouts MDI-X Port Pinouts 8-pin RJ45 Signal...
  • Page 10: Led Indicators

    LED Indicators The front panel of the Wireless Access Point/Client contains several LED indicators. The function of each LED is described in the table below. Color State Description Power is being supplied to either power input PWR1 and/or PWR2. Green Power is not being supplied to power input PWR1 or PWR2.
