role in this constellation and a failure of this device would interrupt the connection
of all clients, there is the possibility to install a 2nd MWLC master as backup and to
configure the IP address of this backup master in the MWLC slaves.
Advantages of the MWLC mode:
1.
Maximum transparency of LAN client connections to the stationary network via
WLAN..
2.
No special configuration effort on the HG G
76343/4/5 no matter how many
LAN clients are connected.
Disadvantage of the MWLC mode:
1.
One or two additional HG G
76343/4/5 are needed on the stationary network
side.

The MWLC Master works with
WLAN interface switched off.
High Priority
: This means that
the data from and to the
MWLC slaves is processed
with a higher priority than oth

er data.
6.4.2 MWLC Slave
Since the master module plays a central role and thus all MWLC slaves would be af
-
fected in the event of a failure of this HG G
76343/4/5, it is possible to define a sec
-
ond master (backup) to which the MWLC slave connects if the first master fails.
