1. Safety and operating instructions
When assembling, starting-up and adjusting the modules, it is necessary to consider the system specific references in
the manual instruction.
The modules may only be installed and started up by authorized technical personnel. There are only permitted the
mounting styles indicated in the quick start guide, which is included each module.
When assembling the modules into the receiving points, the adherence of the EMC regulations is to be ensured.
The assembly and wiring have to be done without voltage. For installation, only the supplied accessories (DIN rail clip
with screws and 19“ accessories) may only be used.
All active modules may only be operated with the power supply HELIOS. To supply the module only the attached accessory
cables are used.
The mains voltage and the operating voltage of the modules working by DC have to be in complience to the operating
parameters described in the technical data.
With all work the defaults of the DIN EN 50083 have to be considered. Especially the safety relevant execution of the
DIN EN 60728-11[1] is necessary.
The unit should be mounted only vertically. The ventilation slots as well as the circulation perforation of the modules must
be kept absolutely free.
If installed in mounting cabinets a adequate heat circulation must be guaranteed. The mounting in closed cabinets with
no air exchange is not allowed.
For DIN rail mounting is important to note that between the heat sink and a neighboring building, a distance of 2 cm is
required. If the modules mounted on top of each, so to observe a distance of 20 cm from the bottom edge of the top
module to top edge of the lower module.
For 19“ mounting all devices in the rack must be fitted with 19“ Edge Guide. The sole panel mounting is not enough!
Furthermore, the operation of a fully occupied rack is only allowed with an underlying 1-U fan box (at least 3 fans,
176 mm deep).

3. General
The Smart Business Line (SBL) is a modern head end system, that is distinguished by its modular and compact design. A userfriendly
operating concept facilitates setup, configuration and maintenance of the system.
The module WLANIOS is the 8-port Ethernet switch with WLAN port created for the SBL system.

5. Functional description
The WLANIOS module is a 8-port 10/ 100 Base-T Ethernet switch with an additional WLAN port, which was created for the SBL sy-
stem. It fits seamlessly into the SBL case, control and quality concept. With the switch up to 7 SBL modules can be controlled via a
PC/ laptop. If more ports are needed, cascading is possible.
With the WLAN port, the entire head end can also be controlled wirelessly. Here you can select whether the port is to operate as an
access point, gateway or client. If the wireless access to the configuration of the equipment is no longer needed, it can be turned off
by pressing a button in order to prevent foreign access and reduce power consumption. The setting of the WLAN parameters is done
via web interface. Automatic IP address assignment is possible with the built-in DHCP server.
Auto negotiation and auto MDI/ MDIX crossover are integrated, IGMP snooping is supported.

6.1 LED’s at 10/ 100 Mbit ports
Designation (colour) Status Meaning of display

Data-LED/ green blinkt data being exchanged
off no data exchange
6.2 Status LED’s
Designation Colour Status Meaning of display
POWER green permanently on module working properly
off module is off, operating voltage not applied
W-LAN green permanently on WLAN is activated
off WLAN is deactivated
6.3 ”W-LAN ON/ OFF”-/ ”RESET”-button
The “W-LAN ON/ OFF“- / “RESET“-button is located on the front page under the 8 Ethernet ports. A quick press of the button (at least
1 s) causes the parameters of the WLANIOS module will be reset to the default values and the module is restarted. Alternatively, it will
be done via the web interface in the menu Management →System (see also section 7.2.6.1).
A longer press of the button (> 5 s) causes the WLAN module within WLANIOS can be turned on or off. By switching off after the con-
figuration it is achieved on the one hand, that a foreign operation via WLAN is excluded and on the other hand the energy demand is
reduced. In this case the system reboots and so the web connection to the WLANIOS is breaked for a short time until system works
properly again.
7. Adjusting by web server
7.1 Network connection to the computer
System requirements:
- PC/ laptop with 10/ 100 Mbit Ethernet interface
- Internet browser (e.g. Windows Internet Explorer), which accept JAVA script.
Setup the connection:
The WLANIOS module has to connected to PC network using an Ethernet cable.
The IP address of the WLANIOS module is 192.168.1.254 on delivery. If several
WLANIOS should be controlled or adjusted via an Ethernet switch, each module
must first be converted individually to its provided IP address within the network.
To that the address of the network port on the PC (temporary) must be adapted
to the IP address of the WLANIOS module (subnet mask: 255.255.255.0,
IP address: 192.168.1.XXX, where XXX is not the same as the corresponding value
of the WLANIOS IP address). After the network configuration of the module(s) the
IP address of the control PC is converted to the provided IP address and the
modules can be accessed through the browser with their new IP addresses.
The access to the configuration menu is password protected.
Access data (factory settings): User name: admin
Password: admin

7.2 Adjustment and information menus
Hereinafter the settings and information menu of the module are described in short form, so the user can adjust according to its en-
vironment, the settings of the module. The wireless functionality is realized by the module WIZ610wi of the company WIZnet Co., Ldt.
For detailed and advanced setup please refer to the WIZ610wi User‘s Manual, which can be obtained of the WIZnet company‘s home-
page (http://www.wiznet.co.kr). Detailed explanations about the topic of wireless, TCP/ IP and Ethernet is located in section 10 cited
literature sources ([5]...[7]).
7.2.1 Status
After successful login you will be redirected to the status page. This gives an overview of all adjusted parameters of the device.
By clicking the “status“ in the top left in the menu tree it provides access to the submenus described below:

7.2.2 Network setting
On this page you can configure the parameters of the local network, which connects to the LAN port of the access points. The set-
tings for the IP address, subnet mask, DHCP, etc. are performed.
7.2.3 Wireless setting
On this page you can select the various operating modes of the wireless connection.
The default is the access point mode. In this mode, all Ethernet ports and wireless interfaces bridged together and NAT function is
disabled. All functions that are connected to the WAN, and the firewall is not supported.
In gateway mode, the device supports the connection to the Internet via ADSL/ cable modem. The NAT is enabled and the PC‘s in
LAN ports share the same IP to ISP through WAN port. The WAN connection type can be setup in WAN page by using PPPOE, DHCP
client, PPTP client or static IP.
Finally there is the possibility to operate the device as a client.

7.2.4 Serial setting
This feature of the integrated WLAN module is not supported in WLANIOS.
7.2.5 Security
This page lists the security settings. Different authentication and encryption settings are selected and set.
7.2.6 Management
In the menu “Managenent“ the following sub-menus are included to make administrative and system settings:
7.2.6.1 System
Here, the country code is selected, the login parameters are changed, the module is re-launched and adjusted to factory settings.
Alternatively, the default settings can be restored by briefly pressing of the front button (see also section 6.3).
7.2.6.2 Firmware
In this menu it can be made if necessary, an update of the firmware. It takes about 1 minute to load the file and transfer it to the inter-
nal flash. The module will then automatically restarts. The process should not be interrupted, since this can lead to permanent dama-
ge to the firmware.

Similar to the previous menu here the logo file is stored or is loaded a new logo. The file must be in .gif format and will then appear in
the upper left corner above the menu tree.
7.2.6.5 GPIO
This port is not used in WLANIOS.
7.2.6.6 Log
Accordingly, the choice here all relevant processes of the system will be documented in a log file, which serves the administrator for
monitoring.
