Introduction – Chapter 2
The Client Adapter HG G-76343/4/5 is a wireless LAN adapter (in Götting docu-
ments the terms radio modem respectively WLAN client are used synonymously)
that connects devices via Ethernet, USB or serial port to wireless networks conform-
ing to the 802.11 a/b/g/n standard. The HG G-76343/4/5 connects all devices that
are connected to its LAN interface to a network reachable via WLAN.
Via a serial interface the HG G-76343/4/5 can receive and transmit data that is sent
or received by a communication partner connected to the network (WLAN or LAN).
This communication partner can also be a HG G-76343/4/5 or a computer that
sends resp. receives via a matching application. The USB port makes it possible to
connect extensions like e.g. additional serial interfaces or I/O interfaces.

2.1 Versions / Variants
The device is available in different versions that offer different interfaces and mount-
ing possibilities:
All variants operate with the same firmware and can be configured with the same
program. You can download them from the following address:
2.2 Interfaces
The following interfaces are available (depending on the variant):
1. 1 - 4 x Ethernet interfaces 10/100/1000 MBit/s + Auto-MDIX (auto crossover
function), port 1 has PoE (Power over Ethernet).
2. 1 x serial interface with 6 control wires.
3. 1 x USB 2.0 interface e.g. for label printers or for the logging of system status
messages on USB memory sticks.
4. 1 x relay switching contact.
5. Only on request: Input with optocoupler.
The Ethernet connection is connected via an RJ45 connector. LAN port 1 has a PoE
function (IEEE 802.3af) so that the HG G-76343/4/5 can be powered by this port.
The serial port is connected by a 9 pin D-SUB plug. The assignment is selected in a
way that a 1:1 serial cable can be used for the connection to a serial COM-Port of a
PC. The exact assignment can be seen in Table 3 on page 13.
