● Support of the authentication standards WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK and
IEEE 802.1x and the encryption methods WEP, AES and TKIP.
Note
The transmission standard IEEE 802.11n
with the setting "802.11n" or "802.11n only"
-PSK with AES in the security settings.
● For better transmission via WLAN, the function WMM (wireless multimedia) is enabled.
The frames are evaluated according to their priority and sent prioritized via the WLAN
interface.
● Suitable for inclusion of a RADIUS server for authentication.
● Device-related and application-related monitoring of the wireless connection.
● The interoperability of the devices with Wi-Fi devices of other vendors was tested
thoroughly.
● Before commissioning the SCALANCE W700, 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
