The Siemens SIMATIC NET Industrial Wireless LAN (IWL) product family is a
comprehensive set of network equipment that enables you to build any type
of network configuration, from a small independent wireless network to a
large, completely wireless infrastructure. The Siemens SIMATIC NET
Industrial Wireless LAN product family consists of an RLM to connect
wireless stations to existing Ethernet LAN infrastructures.
The wireless network interface is not much different from the interface for
wired LANs. The operating system will not even notice the difference.
The wireless network interface supports all protocols that are supported by
standard Ethernet adapter cards. Like wired network interfaces, wireless
network interfaces are installed with a dedicated SIMATIC NET Industrial
Wireless LAN driver, but unlike wired network interfaces, wireless network
interfaces do not need a cable to connect them to the network. Only
wireless network interfaces allow you to relocate wor kstations without the
need to change network cabling or connections to patch panels or hubs.
