2.1General Safety Instructions
Caution
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical)
band. Make sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this
equipment meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of
RF energy.
This equipment 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 equipment 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.
The characteristics of the antenna should also be considered when choosing the
placement and orientation of the unit.
See the Anybus Wireless Bolt RJ45 PoE User Manual for more information.

2.3Mechanical Installation
Placement
•The device is intended to be mounted on top of a machine or cabinet
through an M50 (50.5 mm) hole using the included sealing ring and nut.
•The top mounting surface, in contact with the sealing, must be flat with a
finish equivalent to Ra 3.2 or finer and cleaned and free from oils and
greases.
•For optimal reception, wireless devices require a zone between them clear
of objects that could otherwise obstruct or reflect the signal. To avoid
interference, a minimum distance of 50 cm between Wireless Bolt RJ45
PoE and other devices should be observed.
Make sure that the sealing ring is correctly placed in the circular groove
in the top part of the housing before tightening the nut.
Always hold the BOTTOM part of the unit when untightening the nut, not
the top part (the cap).
Tightening torque: 5 Nm ±10 %
All measurements are in mm.

2.6RESET Button
The RESET button is located on the bottom of the unit.
When the unit is powered on, press and hold RESET for >10 seconds and then
release it to reset to the factory default settings.
Recovery Mode
If the web interface cannot be accessed, the unit can be reset by starting in
Recovery Mode and reinstalling the firmware using Anybus Firmware Manager
II, which can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support.
To enter Recovery Mode, press and hold RESET during startup.
Firmware updates should normally be carried out through the web
interface. Recovery Mode should only be used if the unit is unresponsive
and the web interface cannot be accessed.

3Configuration
Anybus Wireless Bolt RJ45 PoE is configured via a web interface. Parameters can
be set individually or using pre-configured Easy Config modes.
Advanced configuration can be carried out by issuing AT commands via the web
interface or over a Telnet or RAW TCP connection to port 8080.
3.1Web Interface
The web interface is accessed by pointing a web browser to the IP address of
the unit. The default address is 192.168.0.99.
The configuration settings are described in detail in the User Manual.

3.5Configuration Examples
3.5.1Ethernet Bridge via WLAN or Bluetooth®(Easy Config)
This example describes how to connect two Ethernet network segments via
WLAN or Bluetooth using Easy Config.
1. In the web interface of unit 1, activate Easy Config Mode 4. This unit will
now be discoverable and open for automatic configuration.
2. In the web interface of unit 2, activate Easy Config Mode 5 for WLAN or 6
for Bluetooth. Unit 2 will now discover and configure unit 1 as a client and
configure itself as an access point.
Unit 1 will be assigned the first free IP address in the same Ethernet subnet
as unit 2.
Adding More Devices
Up to 6 additional clients can be added by repeating the procedure. Each new
client will be assigned the next free IP address in the current subnet.
