SCALANCE W780/W740 to IEEE 802.11n Web Based Management
414 Configuration Manual, 08/2018, C79000-G8976-C267-13
The page contains the following boxes:
●
Enable or disable the iPCF-MC mode of the SCALANCE W700 device.
For PROFINET communication, we recommend enabling the iPCF-MC mode. By
enabling iPCF-MC, the data rates provided by the access point are adapted.
We strongly recommend that you retain the default setting for the data rates (802.11 a/b/g
= 6, 9 and 12 Mbps and 802.11n = MCS 2).
●
These settings determine which device generation can establish a connection to this
device.
– Enabled
Only the devices that communicate with the IEEE 802.11n standard and have the
"Legacy Free (iPCF-MC-LF)" setting enabled are accepted. WLAN mode
IEEE 802.11n need not be enabled for this, however.
This setting prevents performance from being slowed down by the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g
device generation.
– Disabled
All device generations (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n) are accepted.
●
(only in access point mode)
Select the update time configured for the network to which the access point is connected.
The lowest value for the update time is 32 ms.
●
(only in access point mode)
Specify which protocol is handled with priority.
– PROFINET
if you set PROFINET, there must be no PROFINET controller downstream from the
client.
– EtherNet/IP
If you set Ethernet/IP, there must be no scanner downstream from the client.
