Installation
Straight-Through or Crossover Wiring
Depending on the network topology, use straight-through or crossover wiring to connect the
WirelessHART gateway to an Ethernet access point. Note that newer Ethernet hubs, switches,
and routers are able to detect whether straight-through wiring or crossover wiring has been
used and adjust the pinout automatically if necessary.

Preparing RS-485 Connection
The WirelessHART gateway is equipped with a fully galvanic isolated RS-485 interface. Note
that the maximum length of the cable running from the WirelessHART gateway to the process
control system is 1200 m or less, depending on the cable type and transfer rate. Use shielded
twisted pair (STP) cables only. Ensure sufficient relief of tension on the cables during
installation and note the minimum bending radii of the cables.
