Your SIMATIC NET Industrial Wireless LAN hardware will
communicate with other vendors’ IEEE 802.11 compliant wireless
LAN products.
However, you may not always be able to use the SIMATIC NET
Industrial Wireless LAN software suite in combination with other
vendors’ products, due to the following reasons:
• The IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless LANs does not identify
standards for diagnostic or management tools; i.e. each vendor
may have designed a customized tool to configure and/or
manage the IEEE 802.11 wireless network.
• The Siemens SIMATIC NET Industrial Wireless LAN software
suite has been designed to offer an enhanced set of tools to
monitor and analyze a wide range of diagnostic tallies.
Some of these tools require additional functions in the
hardware that (by default) is supported by all Siemens SIMATIC
NET Industrial Wireless LAN products, but may not be
supported by the other vendors’ products.
If other vendors’ products do not allow you to display
communications quality or configuration parameters using the
SIMATIC NET Industrial Wireless LAN software suite, please refer to
the documentation that was shipped with the other vendors’
product.
