Both the CP1515 Manager and the RLM Manager offer logging functions
that can save measurement data for later evaluation or comparison with
previous measurements. You can view saved log files with any ASCII editor,
or import the data into standard spreadsheet or database applications.

Alternatively you may use the RLM Manager program to monitor
wireless performance of both wireless systems via Radio Link
Modules (see Remote Link Test Window (page 103)).
The SIMATIC NET IWL products have been designed to be
interchangeable with all other wireless LAN products that use the
direct sequence radio technology, as identified in the IEEE 802.11
standard for wireless LANs. Operating in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz
band, the SIMATIC NET IWL system can transmit throu gh walls and
floors, giving you the freedom to roam throughout the network
while maintaining your network connection.
This means that your SIMATIC NET IWL 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 IWL
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.
