3 Device Description

The Bluetooth® ETHERNET gateway 758-915 (“WEG” – Wireless ETHERNET gateway) enables ETHERNET devices to be linked to a wireless Bluetooth® network, in which the data received via the ETHERNET interface is transmitted via Bluetooth®. In the other direction, data received at the Bluetooth® interface is transmitted via the ETHERNET interface. As data transmission of ETHERNET packets occurs with a transparent protocol on Layer 2 of the OSI reference model, this provides for easy integration of all Ethernet-based fieldbuses, such as MODBUS/TCP, ETHERNET/IP, PROFINET or PROFISAFE.
Together with a further Bluetooth® PAN profile compliant device with Ethernet capabilities, such as a further WEG or a Bluetooth® access point (AP), the WEG can also be used as a wireless substitute for ETHERNET cables. As a Bluetooth® Class 1 device with additional, special functions implemented which enhance coexistence, the WEG provides particularly robust, real-time-capable radio links over long distances without any adverse impact on other radio networks, such as WLAN (IEEE 802.11 b/g).

transmission between 2 WEGs
An innovative operator control concept enables easy initiation of automatic configuration processes using a Mode membrane key on the device. This can be used to configure a substitute cable link between two WEGs in only a few seconds, without using additional aids or hardware / software.
In addition to operation using the Mode membrane key and the 7 LED status indicators, access to other status information and advanced device functions of the WEG is also possible via a Web-based management system (WBM).
The WEG supports the “Simple Network Management Protocol” (SNMP). Besides the object IDs (OIDs) for the RFC1213, the device also provides access to further device-specific parameters. A corresponding description file for the “Management Information Base” (MIB) is available from WAGO Support.

3.3.3 Antenna

The device is equipped with an antenna. Good reception conditions exist when the front of the device is oriented centered to the remote device with which the radio link is to be established.
Figure 7: Aligning the device
As the device comes equipped with a circular polarized antenna, rotation of the device around the link axis between the local and remote device does not have any adverse impact on link quality.
The directional alignment (antenna) diagrams for the antenna are given in the following figures for a frequency of 2.450 GHz.
The horizontal diagram illustrates the two-dimensional top view of the electromagnetic field of the antenna, with the antenna being the center point. At a beam angle of around 60° the antenna provides excellent reception levels; reception continues to be good up to an angle of 90°, whereas reception markedly deteriorates at beam angles of 110° and greater.

4.1 Selecting the Installation Location

In order to use all the functions of the WEG, a radio link must be established to a device having similar functions, for example a second WEG of the same type. If the two devices are relatively close to one another, that is, if the distance between them is considerably less than the potential range, the installation location and device alignment will have comparatively little impact on the radio link. If you wish to set up and maintain a radio link over the longest distance possible, however, certain requirements regarding the installation of the device and the ambient conditions must be fulfilled.
The distance between devices may not be too great. The maximum range can only be effective under optimal conditions. A lack of line-of-sight link, or mis­alignment of the devices will result in reduced range.
For a line-of-sight link, install the devices such that the antennas are aligned toward one another, i.e., the marked front side of the devices face one another (see also the figure and the antenna diagrams in the section “Connectors” > “Antenna”).
If there is no line-of-sight link, but both devices have an unobstructed view of the same metallic or concrete surface (such as a building ceiling), a good radio link can be ensured through reflection.
If there is neither a line-of-sight link, nor a surface to use for reflection, for example between devices in different rooms, align the devices as for a line-of­sight link. The magnitude of the reduction in range for the devices in this case depends on the amount of material, e.g., brick walls, that the radio waves must pass through. In some circumstances, it may not be possible for the radio waves to penetrate certain obstacles, such as fire protection walls, at all.

4.2 Fixing

Always maintain a minimum distance of 50 cm between two WEGs!
Always maintain a distance of at least 50 cm between WEGs when installing them. Radio link quality can be degraded on failure to maintain this distance.
Do not install antenna directly in front of metallic surfaces!
The front of the WEG, and hence the internal antenna, shall not be located directly in front of metallic surfaces, as this can permanently degrade the radio capabilities of the antenna.
Use the drilled holes (see drawing below), for example, and the two M3 screws to attach the WEG to any flat, level surface.

7 Configuration

After you have connected the WEG you can configure it in one of two ways:
using the Mode membrane button and by activating certain modes
by making settings via the Web-based Management System (WBM)
The various types of configuration are described in the following sections.
If the device has already been configured and you are not familiar with the current configuration, we recommend resetting the device to its factory default settings before making any further configuration settings. This can be done using the Mode membrane button.

7.1 Default settings

The following settings are active on initial startup of the WEG:
Manual Version 1.1.0, applicable from FW/HW Version 01/01
You can always restore the factory default settings at any time using the Mode membrane button (see following section). This can be useful, for example, if you have forgotten the IP address or the device AT password.

On configuration using the Mode membrane button, only those parameters required for the particular autoconfiguration will be overwritten.
You can initially make changes via the Web-based Management System and then, for example, inhibit WLAN channels that are not to be used (“Channel skipping”). These changes also remain effective after one of the automatic configurations 3, 4, 5 or 6.
Autoconfiguration procedures 1 to 3 always become effective; procedures 2 and 3 change the device configuration immediately. Autoconfiguration procedures 4 to 6 only change the device configuration when a radio link has been successfully established. If the WEG loses power before the autoconfiguration has been completed, or if no other WEG can be contacted via the radio link within 5 minutes for automatic configuration, the device will retain its previous configuration settings when it is restarted.
The following settings are overwritten in the course of the various autoconfiguration procedures:

If autoconfiguration is conducted with PROFINET optimization, the device de­activates the Web-based Management System to provide short cycle times. Consequently, configuration can only be changed using the Mode membrane button. Reset the device to the factory default settings to enable access to the Web-based Management System again.

7.2.2 Selection and Activation of an Autoconfiguration Procedure

General procedure:
1. Switch off the power supply to the WEG and then re-activate power supply
to the device.
The Power LED lights up.
2. Within the first 5 seconds after applying power, press the Mode membrane
button to switch to the operating mode “Configuration selection”.
LED A lights up and the operating mode “Configuration selection” is active. If this is not the case, repeat steps 1 and 2.
3. Select the autoconfiguration procedure:
Select the required autoconfiguration procedure by pressing the Mode membrane button until the appropriate combination of LEDs lights up (see previous section “Overview of Autoconfiguration Procedures”). If you have switched through all the operating modes in order, you can return to the first option in the order by pressing the button again.
Configuration is halted if the Mode membrane button is not pressed for 20 s!
The mode “Configuration selection” is de-activated automatically if you do not press the Mode membrane button for selecting the autoconfiguration procedure. The WEG will then start up using the previous settings.
4. Activate autoconfiguration procedure:
To execute the selected autoconfiguration procedure press the Mode membrane button again and hold it in for at least 2 seconds until the LED indicators A-D or the Power LED change.

7.3 Configuration using the Web-based Management System (WBM)

A Web-based Management System (WBM) is available on an integrated Web server for configuring the WEG.
You can go the WBM by entering the IP address of the device in the browser URL line.
Device configuration is password protected. If you have forgotten the IP address or password you can reset the device to its factory default settings.
On initial commissioning, the device uses the static IP address and the default settings password (see Section “Default Settings”). You may have to modify the IP configuration of the PC from which you are accessing the WBM before a link can be set up.

7.3.1 Accessing the Web-based Management System

1. To open the WBM, launch a Web browser (e.g., Microsoft Internet Explorer
or Mozilla Firefox).
2. Enter the IP address of the WEG on the URL line and confirm by pressing
[Enter].
For WBM access; check the IP/firewall settings and the connection!
If you are not granted access to the WBM check the IP configuration for the PC from which you wish to access the WBM and the settings for the firewalls being used. Ensure that the WEG is properly connected and ready for operation and that the specified IP address is correct. Should you still not be able to set up a connection to the WBM after ruling out any error at the PC, or if you have forgotten the IP address of the WEG, reset the device to its factory default settings.
When access has been made to the WBM the WEG will display an overview page showing status information and operating elements for changing the device configuration (see figure below).
Before taking any further steps you should log on to the system using a valid password:
3. Enter your password in the field System Overview > Password.
4. Send the password by clicking on [Login].

In this section you can define under what preconditions a remote Bluetooth® device can be accepted as a link partner.
Identification performed using either the device name or the device address!
Acceptable communications link partners are defined either by their device address or by their device name. As an OR option, one of these two fields must remain blank.
Active link setup when device name / address has been entered!
If either the device name or device address field is not left blank the WEG will attempt to always actively set up a link on its own. This will prevent other devices from establishing a link to this WEG. When WEGs link up, only one of the devices may be active in setting up the link; the other one must remain passive. Therefore, the two fields for device name and device address must be blank for the passive WEG.

8.1 Sample Configurations

8.1.1 Preparation

Reset the WEG prior to the sample configuration! Always perform the following steps for the sample configuration for all WEGs involved to reset the WEGs to the factory default settings.
1. Connect the WEG to the power supply. If power is already applied, disconnect it briefly and then re-activate power supply to the device.
2. Within 5 seconds after connecting power pressure Mode membrane button.
The “A” LED lights up and the Configuration mode is active.
3. Press the Mode membrane button 1 x to select autoconfiguration procedure 2 (“Reset to Factory Default Settings”).
LED “B” lights up.
4. Press and hold the Mode membrane button for at least 2 seconds until LED “B” goes out.
The WEG has now been reset to the factory default settings.

8.1.2 WEG-WEG Bridge

Using two WEGs, a wireless link can be set up between spatially separated ETHERNET segments. This is useful, for example, when laying of a cable may not permitted or practical on account of structural conditions.
In this configuration example the WEGs fulfill the function of an ETHERNET bridge, i.e., they make network nodes of both ETHERNET segments accessible to one another by creating a transparent link on Layer 2 of the OSI reference model.

The easiest way to conduct this configuration is to activate the associated autoconfiguration procedure using the Mode membrane button.
Configuration changes the IP settings!
Please note that the configuration described below will also change the IP configuration of the devices (see Section “Configuration using the Mode Membrane Button”). Upon conclusion of the autoconfiguration, the Web-based Management System can be accessed by every WEG under the new IP configuration.
8.1.2.1 Configuration of the 1st WEG Using the Mode Membrane Button
1. Activate the Configuration mode by pressing the Mode membrane button 1 x within 5 s after restarting the device. (If an extended period of time has passed since the last restart, disconnect the power from the device, reconnect it and then press the Mode membrane button.)
The “A” LED lights up and the Configuration mode is active.
2. Press the Mode membrane button 3 x.
LED “C” lights up.
3. Press and hold the Mode membrane button for at least 2 seconds until LED “C” begins flashing.
This WEG is now in the operating mode “Wait for automatic configuration”, which remains active for about 5 minutes.
8.1.2.2 Configuration of the 2nd WEG Using the Mode Membrane Button
1. Activate the Configuration mode by pressing the Mode membrane button 1 x within 5 s after restarting the device. (If an extended period of time has passed since the last restart, disconnect the power from the device, reconnect it and then press the Mode membrane button.)
The “A” LED lights up and the Configuration mode is active.
2. In the Configuration mode press the Mode membrane button 4 x.

The “A” and “C” LEDs light up.
3. Press and hold the Mode membrane button for at least 2 seconds until LED “A” and “C” begin flashing.
The WEG now attempts to set up a link to the 1st WEG. Once this link has been established successfully, the 2nd WEG will configure the 1st WEG. Both devices then carry out a restart and re-establish a wireless link automatically. Successful autoconfiguration and establishing of a wireless link is indicated by the permanently lit blue link LED “(((.)))” on the top of both devices.

8.1.3 Roaming Among WEGs

When several WEGs are used, point-to-point links can be established consecutively between an ETHERNET segment and alternating other ETHERNET segments. This provides an ETHERNET device mounted on an independent transport system, for example, to always have access to a central network along long transport sections or in different rooms via a WEG with other suitably positioned WEGs.
Figure 25: Traveling automation station
In scenarios with automatically changing links between several partner devices (“roaming”), each participating WEG must play one of two roles:
1. Active Device In this function the WEG initiates links to other WEGs automatically. Identification of suitable link partners is determined using the device names.
2. Passive Device In this function the device is ready to establish a link to any other WEGs but does not initiate setup of a link on its own.

In moving scenarios the passive devices involved in link setup are usually stationary (access points) and make up the majority of the devices, whereas the active device involved in link setup represents the mobile component and is only present as a single device or a low number of devices. Although the descriptions given below concur with this breakdown, it is not necessarily mandatory; a stationary device can also be the active device and a mobile device can be passive for link setup. The ration of active to passive devices, and vice versa, is also freely definable for roll assignment.

8.2 Time Response

Optimal time response is achieved when a WEG is operated together with another WEG. Radio transmission then requires about 7 ms. The reply time for double transmission, such as for a ping, is about 14 ms.
On account of the limited bandwidth of the transmission path, a delay of around 8 ms must exist between transmissions of ETHERNET data packets. You must therefore set the cycle time appropriately for the bus master for transmission of cyclic fieldbus data.

8.2.1 Time response example: PROFINET

Recommendations for using a WEG-WEG bridge for transmitting data for a PROFINET network are given below.
In the event that outside data, such as from the IP protocol family, is present in addition to the PROFINET network data, PROFINET optimization should be activated, to ensure that the PROFINET data is handled with a higher priority. Failure to activate this option can result in the outside data occupying transmission bandwidth, making it unavailable for transmission of the PROFINET data.
The following minimum cycle times shall not be violated if the master is operated at one end of the wireless link and the smaller network with the slave nodes at the other end:
The data given in the table is based on typical applications, which tolerate sporadic packet loss or delays and which only signal an error after one or two repeated packet loss, for example.
When protocol or application data that must be in real-time is transported via the cyclic bus, the mandatory timeout must be at least four times the current cycle time, plus the one-way transfer time. Normally, a value less than that indicated in the table below should not be selected:

ETHERNET Gateway
Although linking of extensive PROFINET networks via wireless links is possible, this must be done using appropriately relaxed time limits.

8.3 Data Rate

The WEG offers a particularly robust substitute cable path with a long range thanks to the use of Bluetooth® technology. Transmission is only transparent, however, when the data to be transferred does not exceed the wireless link bandwidth. The maximum theoretically achievable data rate for bidirectional transmission via a WEG-WEG bridge is around 0.5 Mbit/s for each direction. Under actual conditions the maximum theoretical rate may not be fully achievable, depending on the type of ETHERNET packets to be transported. The device is not or is only conditionally suitable for applications such as streaming of multimedia content. The device is primarily used for wireless linking of automation systems, which transfer set volumes of process data in defined cycles.

8.4 Coexistence

A basic understanding of the significant influencing factors is required to optimize coexistence between different wireless technologies and/or devices. A brief description of the essential basics is therefore given below. These are followed by specific instructions for appropriate configuration of the WEG to conduct optimization of coexistence tailored to your particular application.

8.4.1 Basics

A significant advantage of Bluetooth® technology is that Bluetooth®-based products can carry out wireless communications license free. This is enabled using the ISM band at around 2.45 GHz, in which license-free data transmission is permitted throughout the world as long as specific provisions are adhered to.
However, as radio frequencies for data transmission are only available for a limited period, the range between 2.4 GHz and 2.5 GHz in particular is currently used by a number of standardized and proprietary technologies alike. Despite each technology having to support automatic coexistence mechanisms, these automatic mechanisms cannot always guarantee interference-free coexistence when the density of wireless users at a location exceeds certain limits. As nearly every technology will repeat transmission of data automatically in the event of interference, data loss or corrupt data can be ruled out, but the achievable transmission rate is reduced, thus increasing the transmission and reaction times.
Manual Version 1.1.0, applicable from FW/HW Version 01/01
WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 758 Appendix 61 758-915 Bluetooth
®
ETHERNET Gateway
Some companies have therefore begun having the use of wireless technologies organized by a central frequency utilization plan. The following basic multiplex techniques are employed to ensure interference-free coexistence:
1. Time-Division Multiplex
Different devices must transmit simultaneously in order for a disturbance of two or more transmission signals to occur. At low traffic volumes, considerably more devices located near one another can be operated before a disturbance occurs.
2. Code Multiplex Even if radio signals are transmitted at the same time at the same location and in the same frequency range, the signals can be differentiated and sorted out at the receiving device on the basis of the codes (or frequency splitting techniques) that are used.
3. Space-Division Multiplex
As wireless technologies may only operated with limited transmitting power in the ISM band, the transmitted signals become so weak at a certain distance that they no longer interfere with other devices.
4. Frequency-Division Multiplex Radio signals that use clearly isolated frequencies do not interfere with one another.
Availability of the multiplexing techniques presented here to the user does, however, vary to substantially different degrees.
1, for example, is essentially determined by the communicating applications. Although consideration can be given in the development of the application to ensuring that only important data is transmitted and that there is no steep increase in data traffic under critical conditions in particular, the stipulated process-based limits are nevertheless always tight. The method explained under 2 is employed automatically by the wireless technologies involved; options for adaptation by the user are not given and would not be practical in any event. The techniques described under 3 and 4 can, on the other hand, be easily integrated in a frequence utilization plan. Spatial distribution of devices taking part in wireless communication can easily be planned. Taking into consideration the structural conditions, in particular of fire protection walls or other “absorber” obstacles, mutual interference can be completely ruled out. Frequency-division multiplexing can be employed when clear, spatial separation is not possible. Some technologies even enable the user to specify set frequency ranges to allow them to be reserved exclusively for certain devices. Other technologies monitor the frequency band being used and automatically avoid ranges already experience intensive use.
Implementation of Bluetooth® technology in the form of the WEG 758-915 supports both approaches.

ETHERNET Gateway

8.4.2 Space-Division Multiplex (Adaptation of Transmitting Power)

Bluetooth® technology implements automatic adaptation of transmitting power
based on the signal quality. When the devices receive a very strong signal they reduce the transmitting power automatically; similarly, they also increase transmitting power when weak signals are received. This can be a problem to the extent that this mechanism does not recognize the cause for the poor signal. For example, when two devices equipped with different technologies are installed directly next to one another, this may degrade the reception quality on account of transmission by the other device. Now, when the transmitting power is increased due to poor reception, this may degrade reception even further. In cases like this and other similar scenarios, space-division multiplex should be provided as a better solution, based on proper installation and configuration.
It can usually be assumed that over a distance at which two devices with the same technology can no longer receive signals the devices also will not cause any interference.
By reducing the “Maximum transmit power” using the AT command
AT*AMMP=<v> to the extent that reception is just possible at the planned
installation location you can limit the radius covered by transmission to a minimum
The figure below illustrates the behavior for the maximum radius covered, depending on the optional device settings, (assuming unobstructed propagation of radio waves). A range difference of a factor of 10 exists between the highest and lowest limit that can be selected.

Coexistence of Bluetooth® and WLAN
The Bluetooth® system (here: the WEG) employs “Adaptive Frequency Hopping” (AFH). The frequencies utilized in a WLAN system can be detected as being interfered with (see figure below). In the example shown here, the Bluetooth® system does not use the affected channels 28-51, enabling WLAN and Bluetooth® to both have transmission without interference.
Bluetooth® channel 0...27 WLAN channel 7 Bluetooth® channel 52...78

For AFH to be effective, transmission by the WLAN system must produce signals strong enough to interfere with Bluetooth® transmission. The figure below how
Bluetooth® system transmission (blue/red) is repeatedly disturbed by an outside
transmitter (purple). After a brief time AFH detects that the frequency involved is being interfered with and avoids this frequency in the future (transparent red). WLAN system transmission signals are also present (green/yellow) that do not disturb Bluetooth® transmission, but, due to its low signal strength, is likewise disturbed (yellow), making repetition necessary.

The WEG also enables you to also “blacklist” (inhibit) frequency ranges in order to enhance coexistence between competing technologies:
In the Web-based Management System under “Bluetooth > WLAN

After this, repeated transmission will no longer be required, as the transmission frequencies will not be disturbed (see figure below).

Optimum coexistence can be achieved using a combination of AFH and manual blocking of WLAN frequency ranges, guaranteeing undisturbed operation at a maximum transmission rate and minimum transmission and reaction times.

8.4.4 Low Emission ModeTM

The properties of the Bluetooth® technology and setting options for the WEG described in the previous sections ensure that optimal coexistence is achieved when the device is in operation.
In addition to the properties during ongoing operation, frequency utilization for searching for connectable devices (Inquiry) must also be taken into account. During this inquiry phase, Bluetooth® devices transmit for up to 10 seconds, depending on device implementation, at set frequencies without utilizing the coexistence mechanisms available for ongoing operation. Therefore, if the use of the Bluetooth® device involves frequent inquiries, such as for roaming, this can represent a high interference potential for other wireless systems.

WEGs therefore implement the “Low Emission ModeTM” to minimize the adverse effects of inquiry processes.
When you activate the setting “low emission mode” in the Web-based
Management System for “Bluetooth > WLAN coexistence”, the WEG will reduce all device searches (Inquiry) to a minimum.
This ensures that disturbance of any WLAN transmission that is interfered with is limited only to a very short period.
Implementation of the “Low Emission ModeTM” or similar mechanisms is a prerequisite for production facilities of the German automotive industry, among others, for authorization to operate a Bluetooth® system.
Active “Low Emission ModeTM” can slow down roaming!
Use of the “Low Emission ModeTM” can result in not all detectable devices being discovered immediately on an inquiry. It must therefore be anticipated that switching to different access points will take more time than normal for roaming.

8.5 Range in Open Field

The maximum distance that can be overcome by a radio link is defined by the following factors:
1. Input Sensitivity
This denotes the capability of the device hardware to detect the radio signal transmitted by the remote device. The greater the sensitivity, the more weaker signals that can be received. This is a permanent device property.
2. Transmitting Power
This denotes the signal strength which the device hardware outputs/can output for transmitting. The maximum transmitting power for the WEG can be set as a parameter. Transmitting power should be set to the highest level for the maximum range.
3. Antenna Gain
This factor denotes the focusing or bundling properties of the antenna. An antenna with high antenna gain exhibits a strong alignment characteristic, i.e., depending on the antenna alignment, only highly amplified or extremely attenuated signals can be received. The internal antenna of the WEG possesses an antenna gain of 5 dBi, meaning that the reception properties can be greatly influenced by correct alignment. Best results are achieved when the antenna (front side of device) is facing exactly in the direction from which the radio signals are being received.
4. Ambient Conditions
This factor deals with the physical environment/area around the wireless system. To achieve the maximum range a line-of-sight link should exist between the devices and there should be no objects present along the direct line-of-sight link within a specified radius (the so-called 1st Fresnel zone ­see figure below). If this zone is even only partially blocked by any objects the achievable range can quickly be cut in half.
Figure 32: Fresnel zone
The shape of the 1st Fresnel zone is roughly an ellipse whose largest diameter (twice the radius of the 1st Fresnel zone) is at precisely half the distance.
The table below lists the radii that are to be kept clear:

Range can be affected by other wireless systems!
Other range-influencing factors that are difficult to detect and rule out exist in the spurious irradiation from other wireless systems and/or in a temporal change of the radio channel, for example when the subscriber moves (swaying of the mast in strong wind), or other changes in ambient conditions (vehicles, movement of stored goods, pedestrians). These factors can make a precise prediction of the maximum range extremely difficult.
Effective path of radio waves is more significant than the actual distance!
Overcoming of maximum distances for a line-of-sight link is a scenario completely different from use inside rooms or in the direct vicinity to competing wireless technologies. In these types of scenarios the decisive factor is frequently not the actual distance between the devices, but, rather, the effective path taken by the radio waves for multipath propagation, along with the actual interference present at the exact installation location. Under some circumstances, signal quality may even be enhanced by increasing the distance between the devices.

8.6 Data Security for Radio Transmission

It is often assumed that wireless communication systems are less secure than line­connected systems. When used and operated correctly, wireless systems offer at least an equivalent level of security.
The following conditions must apply before an unauthorized user can obtain access to data exchanged via wireless communication:
1. The attacker must be familiar with the communication system in use and be
within the operating range of the system.
2. Radio transmission must take place without the use of any security
mechanisms offered by this technology or the attacker must have adequate means to determine the security code.
A Bluetooth® network whose devices are set such that they do not reply to search requests by outside devices can only be detected using special instruments and only within the short radius around the transmitting devices. This is primarily due to the FHSS that is used which ensures that the frequency of the transmission channel is changed up to 1600 times per second. This not only improves coexistence, but also makes interception of the transmitted data extremely difficult.
To enjoy the benefits of this security mechanism, go to “Bluetooth >
Security” and set the parameter “Visible for other devices” to “no”.
The security mechanism is activated automatically when conducting configuration using the Mode membrane button!
If a link between WEGs is being configured using the Mode membrane button, the devices automatically activate this security setting (“Bluetooth > Security” > Parameter “Visible for other devices” = “no”).
Even when a Bluetooth® network is located at a location with public access and a potential attacker is aware of the network, data transfer can nevertheless only be intercepted using special equipment either when transmission is conducted without encryption, or when a non-secure code is used.
To achieve the best level of security go to “Bluetooth > Security > Passkey”
and select a secure code consisting of up to 16 characters that is neither obvious, nor made up of a simple string of characters and, under “Bluetooth > Security”, set the parameter “Security Mode” to “on”.

8.7 Health Considerations

The device emits microwave radiation. It is explained in the safety instructions that the device is not meant to be directly operated while in contact with the human body. As with any other type of radio waves, there is a certain degree of interaction between microwave radiation and human tissue. The intensity of this radiation in the frequency range used by the device is, however, the decisive factor in determining whether these effects can be measured or whether they may even be harmful.
Despite their related frequency ranges, communication devices are in no way comparable to microwave ovens, which operate at a considerably higher power level (600 W and higher) and concentrate their energy into a tightly enclosed compartment in order to achieve the best effect.
Radio communications devices, which are allowed to communicate license-free throughout the world in the ISM band at around 2.45 GHz are, on the other hand, subject to legal provisions restricting their transmitting power to 20 dBm EIRP (“equivalent isotropic radiated power”), which corresponds to an output of 100 mW = 0.1 W.
Commercially available cell phones, which are carried close to the body or held up to the ear, operate at frequencies up to 1.95 GHz and may only have a transmitting power of up to 2 W EIRP. In-car phones and other similar devices which are not carried on the body may even have a transmitting power of up to 8 W. These values exceed the maximum, permissible transmitting power for Bluetooth® technology in the ISM band by a factor of 20 or 80.
The distance to the antenna must also be taken into account here. At a distance of merely one meter the field strength already drops by 40 dB, which corresponds to a factor of 100.
Therefore, based on current knowledge the following can be said:
When used properly, the risk of hazards or injury to humans by radio waves used in Bluetooth® technology can be ruled out.

Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH)
The adaptive frequency process “Adaptive Frequency Hopping” (AFH) is a refinement of the FHSS and is used to temporarily “jump over” defective or busy portions of the entire available frequency band and switch to other channels. See also “FHSS”
Authentication
Authentication is a process for testing the identity transmitted by a communication partner.
Bit error rate (BER)
Generally: Frequency of bit errors in the data transmission.
Bluetooth® context: Information in percentage on recognized bit errors during
baseband transmissions. As a rule, packets recognized as defective can be automatically repaired. If this is not possible, the defective data is automatically discarded.
Channel See Transmission Channel
CoD (Class of Device)
The Bluetooth® Class-of-Device (CoD) is a 24-bit field indicating to which standard type of device (for example, mobile telephone or handsfree set)
Bluetooth® devices belong. In addition to standard types, manufacturer specific
types can also be used.
Cycle time The cycle time is the rate at which a cyclic process is repeated or the time between two sequential starting points of a cyclic process, e.g. during the updating of cyclic process data between Bluetooth® devices connected wirelessly.

Data exchange
Transmission of data between communication partners.
Device Name
The Bluetooth® name of a device. This name can be queried by other Bluetooth® devices via a radio link.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
This protocol permits automatic configuration of the network for a computer, and also assigns addresses or sets parameters centrally. The DHCP server uses a fixed IP address pool for automatically assigning random, temporary IP addresses to networked computers (Clients), thus saving considerable configuration work in large networks. The client also obtains other information, such as the gateway address (router) and the IP address of the name server (DNS).
Diagnostics Diagnostic information provides information on the system status, particularly on disturbances or error conditions.
ETHERNET
Specifies a Local Area Network (LAN), which was developed by Xerox, Intel and DEC in the 70's. The bus access process takes place according to the CSMA/CD method.
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)
Generally: The frequency hopping process known as “Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum” (FHSS) involves the division of a frequency range into sub-ranges, between which the data transmission then alternates. This improves co-existence with other networks and provides additional tapping protection and strength against narrow band disturbing influences.
Bluetooth® context: subdivision of the wireless channel into 79 subchannels. Each
time, after transmission of a packet, the current sub-channel is changed. This may occur up to 1600 times per second.
Gateway
Device for connecting two different networks, performs the translation between differing protocols..

Inquiry
An “Inquiry” (request/information), in Bluetooth® technology, is a process in which Bluetooth® devices within range are sought.
ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Band)
ISM bands (“Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Band”) are frequency bands that can be used license-free with the observation of certain criteria. In addition to
Bluetooth®, other wide-spread wireless technologies such as WLAN use the ISM
band at 2.45 GHz according to IEEE 802.11.
Link Quality The device indicates the current radio link quality level as a percentage. Link quality of 95 % denotes an excellent link; 75% and greater indicates a good link; 50 % and greater signals a mediocre link, while any value below 50% represents a poor link.

Media Access Control Identification (MAC ID)
The “Media Access Control Identification” (MAC ID) of a device is hardware address. Bluetooth® MAC addresses allow worldwide unique identification of a specific Bluetooth® wireless adapter. The WEG uses the same MAC ID for identification at ETHERNET interface as it does for identification at the Bluetooth® interface.
Packet
For this module: A data/wireless packet consists of user data and header data that are transmitted together.
PAN (Personal Area Network)
The PAN (Personal Area Network) is a specific Bluetooth® profile. A PAN of Bluetooth® devices is called a piconet.
Peer-to-Peer Peer-to-peer denotes networks containing computers with equal authorization privileges, without any centralized access control. A server is not required here, as the subscribers exchange data directly with one another and can mutually access resources that are provided.

Roaming
Roaming denotes the capability of a radio communications network user to automatically dial into alternate radio networks for sending and receiving data.
Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) The RSSI is an algorithm for determining the signal strength between wireless participants. RSSI values allow, for example, the diagnosis of distances between wirelessly connected devices that are too small or too large. An RSSI value of 0 indicates that the reception signal is in the optimal range; a negative value indicates poor reception, while a positive value indicates that the devices are located very near to one another.
Signal strength The signal strength is an indicator of reception quality. The higher the signal strength, the better the reception.
Subnet A subnet is a logical division of a network.
Subnet mask Subnet masks can be used to manipulate the address ranges in the IP address area in reference to the number of sub nets and hosts. A standard subnet mask is, for example 255.255.255.0.
Switch Switches are comparable to bridges, but with several outputs. Each output uses the full ETHERNET bandwidth. Each output uses the full ETHERNET bandwidth. A switch activates a virtual link between an input and an output port for transmission of data. Switches learn which nodes are connected and filter the information transmitted over the network accordingly.
Transmission channel
A transmission channel is a mechanism or resource that enables data transmission over space or time.
