SCALANCE W788-1PRO access point
	■Integration
	The data and power connections for the SCALANCE
	W746-1PRO Ethernet client module and the SCALANCE
	W788-1PRO access point can be made using a hybrid cable or
	separate cables (preferably over short distances):
	• With separate cables, a 4-core TP (2 x 2) IE FC Standard Ca-
	ble (type A) is used as the data cable. This Industrial Ethernet
	cable is connected on site to the supplied IP67 hybrid plug
	connector. A Power M12 Cable Connector PRO is additionally
	required for the power supply. IE FC Standard Cable and
	Power M12 Cable Connector PRO must be ordered in addi-
	tion.

The SCALANCE W788-1PRO access point is highly suitable for designing Industrial Wireless LAN (IWLAN) radio networks with reliable communication. It has an Industrial Ethernet interface for the connection to the wire-bound network.

Special features of the SCALANCE W788-1PRO access point

•Versatile power supply facilities (operation on 100 V to 240 V AC network with PS791-1PRO power supply)

•Antenna diversity for reliable reception in complex radio envi- ronments with two ANT795-4MR omnidirectional antennas screwed onto the housing, can be replaced by other types from the SCALANCE W700 range

•Transmission rate up to 54 Mbit/s at 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with radio approval in more than 30 countries

•Conforms to the IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.11a standards

•WPA and 128-bit encryption (AES) for high security against il- legal access

•Rugged metal enclosure resistant to shock and vibration, and with IP65 dust protection

• If the data and power supply are connected using one cable,
an FC Modular Outlet with power insert and the hybrid cable
must be ordered in addition. The hybrid connector included in
the scope of supply and the FC Modular Outlet with power in-
sert can be assembled and connected on site.

	• If 100 ... 240 V AC is available on site, the PS791-1PRO power
		supply can be used (to be ordered in addition). It is supplied
		including AC connector and cable to the Ethernet client mod-
		ule/access point, but without AC cable.
