3.1 General Information
Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of
your local network environment before installation.
The characteristics of the internal antenna should be considered when choosing the placement
and orientation of the unit.
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.
See also Wireless Technology Basics, p. 40.
3.2 When to Use Bluetooth and WLAN
Use Bluetooth when:
• The wireless link has an Bolt Serial at both ends.
• An interruption-free connection is more important than data throughput speed.
• Interference robustness is important – e.g. in an industrial environment.
Use WLAN when:
• Connecting to other types of wireless devices or a WLAN infrastructure.
• High data throughput speed is more important than connection reliability.
• Large file transfers are expected.
• WLAN channel frequency planning is possible.

connected to the Ethernet wires. Only power and Serial wiring are used.
To make an Ethernet, Serial and power connector cable for Anybus Wireless Bolt Serial:
Fig. 3
To maintain signal integrity, low emission and high immunity to EMI, untwist the twisted pair cable as
little as possible.
1. Cut off one of the connectors on a standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable.
2. Strip off about 40 mm (1½ inch) of the cable jacket, from the orange, orange/white, green
and green/white wires.
The shield and the other wires are not used.
3. Strip off about 7 mm (¼ inch) of the isolation on each wire.
4. Push the pin spring release next to each socket on the connector and insert the correct wire
end according to Connector, p. 7.
5. Connect the wires from the Serial device to the connector in the same way as the Ethernet
wiring.
6. Connect the wires from the power supply to the connector in the same way as the Ethernet
wiring. Make sure that polarity is not reversed.
4.4 Digital Input
The digital input can be used to control roaming between Bluetooth access points (NAP). For
more information, refer to the AT Reference Guide at www.anybus.com/support.

Configuration 17 (44)
Advanced Settings
Bridge Mode Layer 2 tunnel = All layer 2 data will be bridged over WLAN.
Use when multiple devices on both sides of an Ethernet network bridge must be able to
communicate via WLAN (many-to-many).
Only works between Anybus Wireless Bolt or Wireless Bridge II devices.
Layer 2 cloned MAC only = Layer 2 data from only a single MAC address (specified
below) will be bridged over WLAN (many-to-one).
Layer 3 IP forward (default) = IP data from all devices will be bridged over WLAN.
This mode must be used when using the DHCP Relay function.
When using Layer 3 IP forward in an enterprise network, such as a Cisco Wireless LAN
Controller, the connectivity may be reduced.
The cause may be:
• Multiple devices sharing a single wireless interface is not typically supported
without special configuration.
• The network cannot enforce a 1-to-1 mapping of IP to MAC addresses and must
allow propagation of broadcasted ARP messages over the wireless segment in order
to route traffic to the bridged devices.
If this for security or performance reasons is not acceptable, a setup with a single
Ethernet node connected to the Wireless Bridge is recommended.
Cloned MAC Address The MAC address to use with Layer 2 cloned MAC only (see above).
Cloned IP Address The IP address to use with Layer 2 cloned MAC only (see above).
WLAN Roaming
Anybus Wireless Bolt Serial supports Fast Roaming according to IEEE 802.11r. This enables a
WLAN client to roam quicker between WLAN Access Points that have the same SSID and support
IEEE 802.11r. Fast Roaming is enabled as default but can be permanently disabled using AT
commands.
See the AT Commands Reference Guide or the Help page in the web interface for more
information about how to set up WLAN roaming.
Anybus®Wireless Bolt Serial™User Manual SCM-1202-143 1.10 en-US

Configuration 18 (44)
WLAN Channels and World Mode (Client Mode only)
Which channels are available for WLAN communication is restricted by the regulatory domain
where the unit is operating. Anybus Wireless Bolt Serial supports regulatory domain detection
according to the IEEE 802.11d specification.
The unit is initially set in World Mode which enables only the universally allowed channels in the
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands (see the table below). World Mode can be disabled and additional
channels added using AT commands. The unit will then search for country information during the
scan. If the scan indicates that the unit is operating within either the European (ETSI) or North
American (FCC) regulatory domains, the additional channels will be enabled. A new scan will be
performed every hour to update the regulatory domain.
If no country information or conflicting information is detected, the unit will revert to World
Mode. The unit must then be restarted to update the regulatory domain.
See the AT Commands Reference Guide or the Help page in the web interface for more
information about how to use AT commands.
