Connecting to a WLAN
This example describes how to connect a machine with an internal Ethernet network to an
existing WLAN.
This setup allows traffic on network layer 3, but not layer 2. This means that TCP/IP based
protocols such as EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and BACnet can be used on the WLAN, but not
protocols that use layer 2 traffic, such as PROFINET.
