2 Description
Anybus WLAN Access Point IP67 is an industrial grade IEEE802.11 a/b/g/n dual-band wireless
infrastructure hub that can operate as a 2.4 GHz/5 GHz WLAN access point, client or wireless
bridge. It is designed to work seamlessly with other Anybus wireless devices to connect
machines to a wireless infrastructure.
Fig. 1 Wireless infrastructure example
Anybus WLAN Access Point IP67 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) in compliance with the
IEEE 802.3af standard and has dual power supply inputs for redundancy.
The access point supports IEEE 802.1x to enhance security for WLAN connections. The
access point will act as authenticator and the clients will get authentication from a RADIUS
(Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) server.

Caution
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band.
Make sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this device meet
appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.
This product contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
Use ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.
Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of
your local network environment before installation.
For optimal reception, wireless devices require a zone between them clear of objects that could
otherwise obstruct or reflect the signal. A minimum distance of 50 cm between the devices
should also be observed to avoid interference.
The unit can be screw-mounted onto a stable flat surface using the included wall mounting
plate, or pole-mounted using the included adjustable steel band straps.
To prevent water intrusion, the unit should be installed with the connectors on the
bottom panel facing down.

4 Configuration
Anybus WLAN Access Point IP67 is configured via the built-in web interface which is accessed
by pointing a standard web browser to the IP address of the access point. The default IP
address is 192.168.0.2. The computer accessing the web interface must be in the same IP
subnet as the access point.
The web interface is designed for the current stable versions of Internet Explorer,
Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Other browsers may or may not support the full
functionality of the web interface.

AP Access Point mode. The unit will act as a central connection point which other wireless
clients can connect to. This is the default mode.
AP-Client Provides one-to-many MAC address mapping so that multiple stations behind the AP
can transparently connect to the other AP even if they do not support WDS.
Client The unit will function as a wireless client to connect your wired devices to a wireless
network. This mode provides no access point services but supports 802.1X.
Bridge In this mode, the device functions as a bridge between the network on its WAN port and
the devices on its LAN port and those connected to it wirelessly.

Security options None: no encryption
WEP: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WPA/WPA2 Personal: uses a pre-shared key for authentication that is shared
between the AP and all clients.

Anybus®WLAN Access Point IP67 User Manual SCM-1202-094-EN 1.0

Configuration 16 (30)
WDS Bridge Mode
In this mode the AP acts as a standard bridge that forwards traffic between WDS links
(connected APs or wireless bridges) and an Ethernet port. As a standard bridge, the AP learns
MAC addresses of up to 64 wireless or 128 wired and wireless network devices, which are
connected to their respective Ethernet ports to limit the amount of forwarded data. Only data
destined for stations which are known to reside on the peer Ethernet link, multicast data or data
with unknown destinations need to be forwarded to the peer AP via the WDS link. The peer
WDS APs are based on the MAC addresses listed in Peer MAC Address.
When using WDS Bridge Mode:
• LAN IP address should use a different IP in the same network.
• Shut down all DHCP server functions of the AP
• Enable WDS.
• Each AP should have the same setting except Peer MAC Address which should be set to
the MAC address of the other unit.
• The settings of security and channel must be the same.
• The distance of the AP should be limited within a certainty area.
WDS Repeater Mode
This mode extends the range of the wireless infrastructure by forwarding traffic between
associated wireless stations and another repeater or AP connected to the wired LAN. The peer
WDS APs are based on the MAC addresses listed in Peer MAC Address 1–4.
RADIUS Authentication
Fig. 18 Network with RADIUS authentication
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) is a widely deployed protocol that
enables companies to authenticate and authorize remote users’ access to a system or service
from a central network server.
When you configure the remote access server for RADIUS authentication, the credentials of the
connection request are passed to the RADIUS server for authentication and authorization. After
the request is both authenticated and authorized, the RADIUS server sends an accept
message back to the remote access server and the connection attempt is accepted. Otherwise,
the RADIUS server sends a reject message back to the remote access server and the
connection attempt is rejected.
