PROFINET Transparent Mode
 
Only available when the KEY-PLUG iFeatures is inserted. 
With NAT, communication with connected PROFINET devices via WLAN is not possible 
because they are not visible to the outside. 
If you select this setting, you can make individual PROFINET devices visible again. 
Frames are also forwarded transparently. The exceptions are made with the PROFINET 
device names. 
"Layer 2 tunnel" must be set in MAC mode for PROFINET transparent mode. 
 
Note 
PROFINET devices 
When PROFINET transparent mode is activated, the connected PROFINET devices 
cannot obtain the IP address 
from a DHCP server. Use a fixed IP address for these

The PROFINET device name determines which PROFINET devices are allowed to 
communicate with the outside world despite NAT. 
Maximum length: 240 characters. The box must not be empty. 
The following characters are permitted: [a ... z] [0 ... 9] and [ . ; - * ]. Uppercase letters are 
not allowed. 
For device names, you can replace any number of characters with the wildcard asterisk 
(*). The asterisk can be anywhere, but may occur only once per device name. 
You can specify multiple device names separated by a semicolon. 
Examples: 
–  * (asterisk) 
Communication is possible with all connected PROFINET devices. 
–  pump1 
Communication is only possible with this PROFINET device. 
–  pump* 
Stands for the device names that begin with "pump" e.g. pump1, pump2.  
There are two pumping stations in a plant, for example. Station 1 contains "pump1" 
and station 2 contains "pump2". If you use this input, you can import the configuration 
on both WLAN clients.  
–  pump*,controller* 
Stands for all device names that begin with "pump" or "controller".
