that are hard to wire, too expensive to wire, or use mobile equipment that
connects over a TCP/IP network. The WLAN device is rated to operate at
temperatures ranging from 0 to 60°C for standard models and -40 to
75°C for extended temperature models and is rugged enough for any
harsh industrial environment. Installation is easy, with either DIN-Rail

Installation and Configuration
Before installing the Wireless Device, make sure that all items in the
Package Checklist are in the box. In addition, you will need access to a
notebook computer or PC equipped with an Ethernet port. The
IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG has a default IP address that you must use when
connecting to the device for the first time.
Step 1: Select the power source
The Wireless device can be powered by a DC power input or PoE (Power
over Ethernet). The device will use whichever power source you choose.
Step 2: Connect the WLAN device to a notebook or PC
Since the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG supports MDI/MDI-X auto-sensing, you
can use either a straight-through cable or crossover cable to connect the
device to a computer. If the LED indicator on the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG’s
LAN port lights up, it means the connection is established.
Step 3: Set up the computer’s IP address
Set an IP address on the same subnet as the IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG. Since
the
IE-WL-AP-BR-CL-ABG’s default IP address is 192.168.1.110
,
and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, you should set the IP address of
the computer to 192.168.1.xxx and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
