If you do not have the access point shown, you can also use a standard WLAN
router. In this event, the configuration may deviate from the configuration illus-
trated in this Getting Started.
Requirements
The access point is intended for Web Based Management.
The following WLAN configuration settings are used by way of an example in this
Getting Started:
• IP address of the configuring PC: 192.168.1.100
• IP address of the Mobile Panel 277 IWLAN: 192.168.1.11
• IP address of the access point: 192.168.1.10
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
• SSID WLAN: AP_transport_WLAN
• Network code (WPA2): Klh65Rff
Engineering offices which specialize in wireless network planning can also assist
you in planning.
This Getting Started presupposes that the configuring PC possesses WLAN-
capability. If you are in any doubt about this, contact your system administrator.
Note
The WLAN configuration described in this Getting Started also applies to
the fail-safe Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN. You can find out more on how to
configure the fail-safe Mobile Panel in the function manual entitled,
“Fail-safe operation of the Mobile Panel 277F IWLAN”.
The network code is used on
the access point and on the
Mobile Panel as a starting
point for the encryption algo-
rithm. It contains up to 64
characters. Use the letters “A”
to “Z” and the numbers “0” to
“9”, mixing upper and lower-
case lettering.
