to wired networks.
Typical applications for Anybus Wireless Bridge II include:
•Adding wireless cloud connectivity to industrial devices
•Accessing devices from a laptop, smartphone or tablet
•Ethernet cable replacement between devices
Note:
Bluetooth PAN (Personal Area Network) may not work with some devices due
to different implementations of Bluetooth by different manufacturers.
WLAN 5 GHz cannot be used at the same time as WLAN 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth.

2.1Safety
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.
Caution
The M12 power and LAN connectors must be provided with tool
operated mechanical lock nuts that are tightened by the installer.
This product is recommended for use in both industrial and domestic
environments. For industrial environments it is mandatory to use the
functional earth connection to comply with immunity requirements. For
domestic environments the functional earth must be used if a shielded
Ethernet cable is used, in order to meet emission requirements.
This product contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic
discharge (ESD). Use ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.
2.2General Information
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.
For models with internal antenna the characteristics of the antenna should be
considered when choosing the placement and orientation of the unit.
See the Anybus Wireless Bridge II User Manual for more information.

The digital input can be used for additional functionality with advanced
configurations and to reset the unit. For more information please refer to the
Anybus Wireless Bolt/Bridge II AT Reference Guide.
If voltage is applied to the digital input for more that 10 seconds the unit
will be reset to factory defaults.
Signal wiring for the digital input must be carried in the same cable as
power and functional earth if wiring length exceeds 3 meters.
