2 Startup and configuration
2.1 Options for device configuration
The EPAs can be configured differently for operation:
MODE button
Typical operating modes, such as direct connection of two EPAs as a “wireless Ethernet
cable”, can be directly selected via the “MODE” button on the EPA without the need for a
PC. For a detailed description, please refer to 2.1.1 on page 2-2.
Web-based management (WBM)
To use all the options, the device has a web-based management, which provides a
graphical user interface via a web browser. This means that the current operating state can
simply be displayed without the use of special software or that the device can be configured
using a password.
For a description of the parameters, please refer to 2.3 on page 2-4.
AT commands
All the EPA parameters can be modified or transmitted to the EPA in an automated manner,
for example from a program of a controller. For development or testing purposes AT
commands can also be transmitted to the EPA via the WBM or directly via any web browser.
For the AT command reference, please refer to the Phoenix Contact download center.
SSC script
If easy, quick, and reliable startup of numerous devices is required, even complex
configurations can be stored in the form of an SSC script and transmitted to the EPA via the
Windows Scripting Host (WSH) from any Windows PC without the need for special
software.
For detailed instructions and example scripts, please refer to 2.4 on page 2-17.
SNMP
Normally, the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is used for configuration and
maintenance of complex networks. It enables central access to the device parameters
independent of the manufacturer. The EPA provides the corresponding support.
For a detailed description, please refer to 3 on page 3-1.

2.1.1 Configuration using the MODE button
Figure 2-1 “MODE” button on the bottom of the FL WLAN EPA - Above the “MODE”
button are LEDs “A” to “D” for configuration indication
General sequence:
•Connect the module to the power supply.
•Within 5 seconds of switching on the supply voltage, press the “MODE” button to
access configuration mode.
•Select the desired operating mode by pressing the “MODE” button until the
corresponding LED combination lights up. Once you have scrolled through all the LED
combinations (operating modes), the selection automatically starts again from the
beginning.
•Exit configuration mode by holding down the “MODE” button (> 2 seconds) after
selecting the desired operating mode until the LEDs flash or go out (reset or exit
configuration mode).
During configuration using the “MODE” button, not all parameters are rewritten just those
required for the operating mode. It is therefore possible to make some settings via the web
interface or via SNMP or AT commands, which are still effective after configuration using the
“MODE” button. For example, the WLAN channels that are not to be used can be selected
in advance.
If the module has been configured before, it is advisable to reset to the default settings prior
to configuration using the “MODE” button. This reset can also be performed using the
“MODE” button.
If the “MODE” button is not pressed for a longer period in active configuration mode,
configuration mode is exited automatically and the EPA starts with its previous settings.
