Biological Compatibility
The question as to whether electromagnetic fields (for example in connection with
high-frequency mobile radio) can be detrimental to human health is taken seriously
by Siemens. The protection of the population, customers and employees is of major importance and must come before commercial interest.
The products are subject to and comply with the currently valid limit values recommended on the basis of numerous scientific studies. These limit values are well below the field strengths that must be exceeded before their effects are considered
relevant to health.
The products are assessed by authorized official bodies. If these limit values are
adhered to, risk of damage to health can be excluded according to the opinion of
independent scientific committees and the current state of knowledge.
Today's wireless LAN systems are significantly below these required limit values.
Wireless LAN systems have a maximum power output of 0.1 W, while the output
power of a commercial mobile phone is up to 2 W.
Preface
Notes on Working with Wireless LAN Products
When working with wireless LAN products, you may find the following notes helpful:
● Restrict exposure to high-frequency electromagnetic fields to a minimum time
and amount
● Obtain regular information on the latest state of the technology, available in literature from Siemens A&D
● Show particular consideration to people with sensitive health including children
and adolescents
● Show particular consideration to persons with heart pacemakers and hearing
aids
Maintain a minimum clearance of 0.5 m between antennas and people whenever
possible. This does not imply that clearances less than this distance will lead to
impairment of health.

Basic Information on Wireless LAN
Communication
1.1 Network Structure
Ad Hoc Networks
In the ad hoc mode, nodes communicate directly with the server (connections 1
through 3 in the graphic below) without involving a SCALANCE W 788 or with each
other (connection 4). The nodes access common resources (files or even devices,
for example a printer) of the server. This is, of course, only possible when the
nodes are within the wireless range of the server or within each other's range.

Basic Information on Wireless LAN Communication
Standalone Configuration with the SCALANCE W 788
This configuration does not require a server and the SCALANCE W 788 does not
have a connection to a wired Ethernet. Within its transmission range, the
SCALANCE W 788 forwards data from one WLAN node to another.
The wireless network has a unique name. All the devices exchanging data within
this network must be configured with this name.

Basic Information on Wireless LAN Communication
Wireless Access to a Wired Ethernet Network
If one (or more) SCALANCE W 788 access points have access to wired Ethernet,
the following applications are possible:
● A single SCALANCE W 788 as gateway:
A computer equipped only with an Ethernet adapter can be integrated in the client mode in a wireless network over the SCALANCE W 788-1pro.
● Span of wireless coverage for the wireless network with several
SCALANCE W 788 access points:
The SCALANCE W 788 access points are all configured with the same unique
SSID (network name). All nodes that want to communicate over this network
must also be configured with this SSID.
If a mobile station moves from the coverage range (cell) of one
SCALANCE W 788 to the coverage range (cell) of another SCALANCE W 788,
the wireless connection is maintained (this is called roaming).

Operating Instructions SCALANCE W 788-1pro / SCALANCE W 788-2pro
14 C79000-G8976-C184-01
Multichannel Configuration
If neighboring SCALANCE W 788 access points use the same frequency channel,
the response times are longer due to the collisions that occur. If the configuration
shown in Figure 1-4 is implemented as a single-channel system, computers A and
B cannot communicate at the same time with the SCALANCE W 788-1pro access
points in their cells.
If neighboring SCALANCE W 788 access points are set up for different frequencies, this leads to a considerable improvement in performance. As a result, neighboring cells each have their own medium and the delays resulting from time-offset
transmission no longer occur.
Channel spacing should be as large as possible; a practical value would be 25
MHz (five channels). Even in a multichannel configuration, all SCALANCE W 788
access points can be configured with the same network name.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
WDS allows direct connections between SCALANCE W 788 access points. These
are used to create a wireless backbone or to connect an individual
SCALANCE W 788 to a network that cannot be connected directly to the cable infrastructure due to its location.
Two alternative configurations are possible. The WDS partner can be configured
both using its name and its MAC address.

Possible Applications of the SCALANCE W 788
The SCALANCE W 788 is equipped with an Ethernet interface and a wireless LAN
interface (SCALANCE W 788-2pro: two WLAN interfaces). This makes the device
suitable for the following applications:
● The SCALANCE W 788 forwards data within its transmission range from one
node to another without a connection to wired Ethernet.
● The SCALANCE W 788 is used as a gateway from a wired to a wireless network.
● The SCALANCE W 788 can be used as a bridge between two networks.
Due to its second WLAN interface, the SCALANCE W 788-2pro can also be used
to implement a redundant wireless connection between two SCALANCE W 7882pro devices.
Properties of the SCALANCE W 788
Description of the SCALANCE W 700

Configuration Information on the C Plug
The C Plug is used to transfer the configuration of the old device to the new device
when a device is replaced. When the new device starts up, it continues with exactly the same configuration as the old device. The only exception to this can be
the IP configuration if it is set over DHCP and the DHCP server has not been reconfigured accordingly.
Replacing the C Plug
Follow the steps below to replace a C Plug in a SCALANCE W 788:
1. Remove the old SCALANCE W 788 from its mounting and open the sealing
screw on the rear with a coin or broad screwdriver.
2. Remove the C Plug.
3. Open the sealing screw of the new device in the same way and insert the C
Plug of the old device.
4. Replace the sealing screws of both devices.
If a new C Plug is inserted in a SCALANCE W 788-1pro, the configuration stored
locally on the SCALANCE W 788-1pro is saved to the C Plug. If an incorrect C
Plug (for example from another device or a damaged plug) is inserted, the
SCALANCE W 788 signals an error with the red LED. The user then has the
choice of either removing the C Plug again or selecting the option to reformat the C
Plug and use it.

Configuration with the Primary Setup Tool
4.1 Introduction
Initial Assignment of an IP Address
An initial IP address for the SCALANCE W 788 cannot be assigned using Web
Based Management or the Command Line Interface because these configuration
tools require that an IP address already exists.
4
The initial IP address can be obtained over DHCP or assigned using the Primary
Setup Tool. The Primary Setup Tool is capable of assigning such an address to
unconfigured devices without an IP address. The only condition is that the devices
can be reached over Ethernet.
Operating Systems Supported
The Primary Setup Tool can be installed and used with the following operating systems:
● Windows XP Professional
● Windows 2000 Professional SP2
DLC Protocol
The Primary Setup Tool uses the DLC protocol for communication with the modules. This protocol is not supplied with Windows XP and must be installed extra for
this operating system.
Follow the steps below to check whether or not the DLC protocol exists on your
computer:
1. Select the menu command Start > Settings > Control Panel >Network and
Dial-Up Connections.
2. Select the connection to your Ethernet communication module.
