Ethernet network to existing WLAN
Figure 28: 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.
