Installation Guide
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS900W is a utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch that combines an IEEE 802.11b/g Local
Area Network (LAN) with wired Ethernet ports. It allows network designers to achieve the integration of wired and
wireless networks in a single device.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900W functions as a standalone IEEE 802.11b/g access point for wireless clients providing
wireless data rates of up to 54 Mbps. All wireless communications are protected by modern network security
features, including strong encryption protocols using WPA with TKIP, and even WPA2/802.11i with AES support.
Static authentication support is provided by WPA-PSK. For additional centralized control, the RUGGEDCOM
RS900W also supports IEEE 802.1X/RADIUS for wireless user traffic and distributing dynamic encryption keys.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900W provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical
surges typical of environments found on plant floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating
temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I Division
2), optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM RS900W to be placed in
almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900W can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of cabinet space.
Chapter 1
Introduction
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide
operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high
availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900W's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System
(ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
