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.
Caution
The M12 power and LAN connectors must be provided with tool
operated mechanical lock nuts that are tightened by the installer.
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.
2.2External Antenna Restrictions
For models with external antenna, only use antennas that are certified for use
with this equipment. Using external antennas that are not certified for use with
this equipment will invalidate its certifications and make it non-compliant with
the regulations for radio equipment.
A list of certified antennas can be found at www.anybus.com/support.

3Installation
3.1General Information
Anybus Wireless Bridge II can be screw-mounted directly onto a flat surface or
mounted on a standard DIN rail using the optional DIN mounting kit.
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
User Manual for more information about the antenna characteristics for this
equipment.
Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities
and restrictions of your local network environment before installation.

3.4MODE Button
The MODE button can be used to restart or reset the unit as well as for
selecting an Easy Config mode.
When the unit is powered on, press and hold MODE 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.
