● The interoperability of the devices with Wi-Fi devices of other vendors was tested 
thoroughly.
● Before commissioning the SCALANCE W1700, check the wireless conditions on site. If you 
intend to use Industrial Wireless LAN systems and WirelessHART systems in the 2.4 GHz 
band, you will need to plan the use of the channels. At all costs, avoid parallel use of 
overlapping frequency ranges. The following overlaps exist with Industrial Wireless LAN 
and WirelessHART:
IWLAN channel
IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
WHART channel
IEEE 802.15.4
1 11 - 16
6 15 - 20
7 16 - 21
11 20 - 25

2.4 IEEE 802.11n/ac
Overview   
The IEEE 802.11ac standard is a further development of the IEEE 802.11n standard and is 
downward compatible with the standards IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11h and IEEE 802.11n. The 
mechanisms of the PHY and MAC layer implemented in the IEEE 802.11n standard have been 
improved.
