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.
Cloned MAC Address The MAC address to use with Layer 2 cloned MAC only (see above).
MIMO MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antenna technology uses multiple antennas
for wireless communication in 802.11n.
MIMO is supported on units with internal antennas only. Radio communication will
not function if MIMO is enabled on units with connector for external antenna.
WLAN Roaming
Anybus Wireless Bridge II 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 ATcommands.
When Fast Roaming is disabled the client will be able to roam between all access points that
have been specified with SSID, BSSID and Channel in a connection list (using AT commands).
When Fast Roaming is enabled only the first access point SSID in the list will be used, and the
BSSID and Channel parameters are ignored. If the access point does not support IEEE 802.11r
the client will continue without Fast Roaming.
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 Bridge II™User Manual SCM-1202-032 EN 1.7
Configuration 20 (42)
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 Bridge II 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 ATcommands. 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.

Appendix B: Wireless Technology Basics 38 (42)
B Wireless Technology Basics
Wireless technology is based on the propagation and reception of electromagnetic waves.
These waves respond in different ways in terms of propagation, dispersion, diffraction and
reflection depending on their frequency and the medium in which they are travelling.
To enable communication there should optimally be an unobstructed line of sight between the
antennas of the devices. However, the so called Fresnel Zones should also be kept clear from
obstacles, as radio waves reflected from objects within these zones may reach the receiver out
of phase, reducing the strength of the original signal (also known as phase cancelling).
Fresnel zones can be thought of as ellipsoid three-dimensional shapes between two wireless
devices. The size and shape of the zones depend on the distance between the devices and on
the signal wave length. As a rule of thumb, at least 60 % of the first (innermost) Fresnel zone
must be free of obstacles to maintain good reception.
Fig. 27 Fresnel zones
Area to keep clear of obstacles (first Fresnel zone)
Distance (d)
100 m 1.7 m 1.2 m
200 m 2.5 m 1.7 m
300 m 3.0 m 2.1 m
400 m 3.5 m 2.4 m
2.4 GHz (WLAN or Bluetooth) 5 GHz (WLAN)
Fresnel zone radius (r)
The wireless signal may be adequate even if there are obstacles within the Fresnel zones, as it
always depends on the number and size of the obstacles and where they are located. This is
especially true indoors, where reflections on metal objects may actually help the propagation of
radio waves. To reduce interference and phase cancelling, the transmission power of the unit
may in some cases have to be reduced to limit the range.
It is therefore recommended to use a wireless signal analysis tool for determining the optimal
placement and configuration of a wireless device.
