1 Introduction 1.1 Information on the Configuration Manual Validity of the configuration manual This Configuration Manual covers the following products: ● SCALANCE W734-1 RJ-45 ● SCALANCE W774-1 RJ-45 This Configuration Manual applies to the following software version: ● SCALANCE W700 firmware as of Version V 5.00 Purpose of the Configuration Manual This Configuration Manual is intended to provide you with the information you require to commission and operate devices correctly.
Introduction 1.1 Information on the Configuration Manual ● System Manual Structure of an Industrial Wireless LAN Apart from the description of the physical basics and a presentation of the main IEEE standards, this also contains information on data security and a description of the industrial applications of wireless LAN. You should read this manual if you want to set up WLAN networks with a more complex structure (not simply a connection between two devices).
Introduction 1.2 Security information Further documentation The "SIMATIC NET Industrial Ethernet Network Manual" contains information on other SIMATIC NET products that you can operate along with the devices of this product line in an Industrial Ethernet network. There, you will find among other things optical performance data of the communication partners that you require for the installation.
Introduction 1.3 Type designations The type designation of a SCALANCE W700 is made up of several parts that have the following meaning: SIMATIC NET glossary Explanations of many of the specialist terms used in this documentation can be found in the SIMATIC NET glossary. You will find the SIMATIC NET glossary here: ● SIMATIC NET Manual Collection or product DVD The DVD ships with certain SIMATIC NET products. ● On the Internet under the following entry ID: 50305045 (http://support.automation.siemens.
2 Description 2.1 Network structures The following article deals with the setting up of various network structures using access points and clients. A client is also an access point in client mode. Standalone configuration with access point This configuration does not require a server and the access point does not have a connection to a wired Ethernet. Within its transmission range, the access point forwards data from one WLAN node to another. The wireless network has a unique name.
Description 2.1 Network structures Wireless access to a wired Ethernet network If one (or more) access points have access to wired Ethernet, the following applications are possible: ● A single device as gateway: A wireless network can be connected to a wired network via an access point. ● Span of wireless coverage for the wireless network with several access points: The access points are all configured with the same unique SSID (network name).
Description 2.1 Network structures Multichannel configuration If neighboring access points use the same frequency channel, this can lead to longer response times due to any collisions that may occur. If the configuration shown in the figure is implemented as a single-channel system, computers A and B cannot communicate at the same time with the access points in their wireless cells. If neighboring access points are set up for different frequencies, this leads to a considerable improvement in performance.
Description 2.1 Network structures Wireless Distribution System (WDS) WDS allows direct links between access points and or between access points and other WDS-compliant devices. These are used to create a wireless backbone or to connect an individual access point to a network that cannot be connected directly to the cable infrastructure due to its location. Two alternative configurations are possible. The WDS partner can be configured using the WDS ID or using its MAC address.
Description 2.2 Possible applications of SCALANCE W700 devices Network access with a client or an access point in client mode The device can be used to integrate wired Ethernet devices (for example SIMATIC S7 PLC) in a wireless network. Figure 2-5 2.2 Connecting a SIMATIC S7 PLC to a wireless LAN. Possible applications of SCALANCE W700 devices Note The SIMATIC NET WLAN products use OpenSSL. This is open source code with license conditions (BSD). Please refer to the current license conditions.
Description 2.3 Product characteristics ● The SCALANCE W774 can be used as a bridge between two different frequencies. ● The SCALANCE W774 supports protection class IP30. Possible applications of the SCALANCE W734 The SCALANCE W734 is equipped with two Ethernet interfaces and a WLAN interface. This makes the device suitable for the following applications: ● The SCALANCE W734 forwards data within its transmission range from one node to another without a connection to wired Ethernet being necessary.
Description 2.3 Product characteristics ● IEEE 802.11h - Supplement to IEEE 802.11a In the 802.11h mode, the methods "Transmit Power Control (TPC)" as well as "Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS)" are used in the range 5.25 - 5.35 and 5.47 - 5.75 GHz. In some countries, this allows the frequency subband of 5.47 - 5.725 GHz to be used in the outdoor area even with higher transmit powers. TPC is a method of adapting the transmit power.
Description 2.4 IEEE 802.11n Features of the SCALANCE W700 Type Number of WLAN ports Antennas Number and type of Ethernet interface Degree of protection Order no. SCALANCE W774-1 RJ-45 1 external 2 x 10/100 Mbps IP30 Ethernet (copper) 6GK5774-1FC00-0AA0 6GK5774-1FC00-0AB0 (1) SCALANCE W734-1 RJ-45 1 external 2 x 10/100 Mbps IP30 Ethernet (copper) 6GK5734-1FC00-0AA0 6GK5734-1FC00-0AB0 (1) (1) US variant 2.4 IEEE 802.11n Overview The standard IEEE 802.11n is an expansion of the 802.
Description 2.4 IEEE 802.11n MIMO antenna technology MIMO (Multiple Input - Multiple Output) is based on an intelligent multiple antenna system. The transmitter and the receiver have several spatially separate antennas. The spatially separate antennas transmit the data streams at the same time. Up to four data streams are possible. The data streams are transmitted over spatially separate paths and return over different paths due to diffraction, refraction, fading and reflection (multipath propagation).
Description 2.4 IEEE 802.11n Channel bonding With IEEE 802.11n, data can be transferred via two directly neighboring channels. The two 20 MHz channels are put together to form one channel with 40 MHz. This allows the channel bandwidth to be doubled and the data throughput to be increased. To be able to use channel bonding, the recipient must support 40 MHz transmissions. If the recipient does not support 40 MHz transmissions, the band is automatically reduced to 20 MHz. This means that IEEE 802.
Description 2.5 Requirements for installation and operation of SCALANCE W700 devices Modulation and coding schemes The IEEE 802.11n standard supports different data rates. The data rates are based on the number of spatial streams, the modulation method and the channel coding. The various combinations are described in modulation and coding schemes. 2.
Description 2.7 Power over Ethernet (PoE) A reconfiguration is necessary if you use functions based on MAC addresses. Note In terms of the PLUG, the SCALANCE devices work in two modes: • Without PLUG The device stores the configuration in internal memory. This mode is active when no PLUG is inserted. • With PLUG The configuration stored on the PLUG is displayed over the user interfaces.
Description 2.7 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Cable used for the power supply ● Variant 1 (redundant wires) In Fast Ethernet, the wire pairs 1, 2 and 3, 6 are used to transfer data. Pairs 4, 5 and 7, 8 are then used to supply power. If there are only four wires, the voltage is modulated onto wires 1, 2 and 3, 6 (see variant 2). This alternative is suitable for a data transmission rate of 10/100 Mbps.

Technical basics 3.1 3 VLAN Network definition regardless of the spatial location of the nodes VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) divides a physical network into several logical networks that are shielded from each other. Here, devices are grouped together to form logical groups. Only nodes of the same VLAN can address each other. Since multicast and broadcast frames are only forwarded within the particular VLAN, they are also known as broadcast domains.
Technical basics 3.2 MAC-based communication The access point checks whether the destination MAC address matches the MAC addresses of the connected clients. Since a client can only adopt one MAC address, the access point does not find a match and discards the packets of several nodes.
Technical basics 3.3 iPCF / iPCF-MC 3.3 iPCF / iPCF-MC The wireless range of an IWLAN system can be expanded by using multiple access points. If a client moves from the area covered by one access point to the area covered by another access point, the wireless link is maintained after a short interruption (roaming).
Technical basics 3.3 iPCF / iPCF-MC ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ Wireless cell of access point 1 Wireless cell of access point 2 Wireless cell of access point 3 Wireless cell of access point 4 Plant Figure 3-1 Configuration example of iPCF-MC SCALANCE W770/W730 to IEEE 802.
Technical basics 3.4 iREF Restrictions ● iPCF and iPCF-MC are developments of Siemens AG and function only with nodes on which iPCF / iPCF-MC is implemented. ● With an access point with several WLAN interfaces, it is possible to use both iPCF as well as standard WLAN at the same time. ● Access points with a WLAN interface cannot take part in the iPCF-MC procedures, iPCF is, however, possible.
Technical basics 3.4 iREF In particular in applications in which MIMO cannot be used or brings no advantage, this allows data to be transmitted at the highest possible data transmission rate. You configure iREF in "iFeatures > iREF" Requirement ● To be able to use iREF, the device must have at least 2 activated antennas.
Technical basics 3.5 AeroScout 3.5 AeroScout AeroScout tags SCALANCE W devices support tags of the AeroScout company. Tags are battery-operated RFID sensors that send their data cyclically as multicast frames. Among other things, AeroScout tags have the following features: ● Ambient temperature If a tag is fitted to a device or material, it is possible to monitor whether a selected ambient temperature is being maintained.
Technical basics 3.6 NAT/NAPT Accuracy of localization To achieve optimum precision in the localization of AeroScout Tags, ● we recommend the use of antennas with omnidirectional characteristics ● if the signals should be received by at least three access points. 3.6 NAT/NAPT What is NAT? With Network Address Translation (NAT), the IP address in a data packet is replaced by another. NAT is normally used on a gateway between a private LAN and an external network with globally valid IP addresses.
Technical basics 3.7 SNMP 3.7 SNMP Introduction With the aid of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), you monitor and control network elements from a central station, for example routers or switches. SNMP controls the communication between the monitored devices and the monitoring station.
Technical basics 3.8 Spanning Tree The management station sends data packets of the following type: ● GET Request for a data record from the agent ● GETNEXT Calls up the next data record. ● GETBULK (available as of SNMPv2) Requests multiple data records at one time, for example several rows of a table. ● SET Contains parameter assignment data for the relevant device. The SNMP agent sends data packets of the following type: ● RESPONSE The agent returns the data requested by the manager.
Technical basics 3.8 Spanning Tree Root bridge and bridge priority The identification of the most efficient connection is always related to the root bridge, a network component that can be considered as a root element of a tree-like network structure. With the "Bridge Priority" parameter, you can influence the selection of the root bridge. The computer with the lowest value set for this parameter automatically becomes the root bridge.
Technical basics 3.8 Spanning Tree ● Alternate port (substitute for the root port) A substitute for the root port is configured. If the connection to the root bridge is lost, the device can establish a connection over the alternate port without any delay due to reconfiguration. ● Reaction to events Rapid spanning tree reacts to events, for example an aborted connection, without delay. There is no waiting for timers as in spanning tree.

Assignment of an IP address 4.2 Initial assignment of an IP address Outside the local area network, the distinction between network ID and host ID is of no significance, in this case packets are delivered based on the entire IP address. Note In the bit representation of the subnet mask, the "ones" must be set left-justified; in other words, there must be no "zeros" between the "ones". 4.
Assignment of an IP address 4.4 Address assignment with the Primary Setup Tool ● There is normally no fixed address assignment; in other words, when a client requests an IP address again, it normally receives a different address from the previous address. It is possible to configure the DHCP server so that the DHCP client always receives the same fixed address in response to its request. The parameter with which the DHCP client is identified for the fixed address assignment is set on the DHCP client.
Assignment of an IP address 4.5 Address assignment with STEP 7 4.5 Address assignment with STEP 7 In STEP 7, you can configure the topology, the device name and the IP address; in other words, an IP address is specified for the MAC address of the IWLAN device. If you connect the unconfigured IWLAN device to the controller, the controller assigns the configured device name and the IP address to the IWLAN device automatically. STEP 7 V5.
Configuring with Web Based Management 5.1 5 Web Based Management How it works The device has an integrated HTTP server for Web Based Management (WBM). If a device is addressed with a Web browser, it returns HTML pages to the client PC depending on the user input. The user enters the configuration data in the HTML pages sent by the device. The device evaluates this information and generates reply pages dynamically. The advantage of this method is that only a Web browser is required on the client.
