Siemens 6GK5786-2FE00-0AB0 SCALANCE W786-2 SFP IWLAN Access Point

Description

The Siemens 6GK5786-2FE00-0AB0 is an IWLAN Access Point from the SCALANCE W786-2 SFP series, designed for robust industrial wireless communication. This device features two independent radios and six R-SMA antenna ports, supporting iFeatures via a key plug. It operates on IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n standards across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands, delivering a gross data rate of 450 Mbit/s per radio.

Connectivity is provided by two SFP 1 Gbit/s switches. The unit supports redundant 24 V DC power input via a terminal block and can also be powered by 110-230 V AC via an optional PS791-2AC adapter. With an IP65 protection rating, it is suitable for demanding environments, offering an operating temperature range of -40 degC to +60 degC (dependent on the SFP module used). It incorporates WPA2/802.11i/e security protocols and is identified with CERT ID EAPN-W2-SFP-E3, including an MPCIE-R1-ABGN-U3 module. Manuals for operation in the USA are provided on CD-ROM.

Installation Guidelines

1. De-energize System: Ensure all power to the installation area is disconnected and locked out before beginning any work.
2. Mounting: Securely mount the IWLAN Access Point in the desired location, ensuring the IP65 rating is maintained. Consider environmental factors such as temperature and potential physical impact.
3. Antenna Connection: Connect up to six R-SMA antennas to the designated ports. Ensure connections are tight to maintain signal integrity and IP65 rating.
4. SFP Module Installation: Insert appropriate SFP 1 Gbit/s modules into the two SFP slots. Connect fiber optic cables as required for network integration.
5. DC Power Wiring: Connect the redundant 24 V DC power supplies to the terminal block, observing correct polarity. Ensure proper wire gauges are used and connections are secure.
6. AC Power Option: If using AC power, connect the PS791-2AC adapter to the dedicated plug slot and then to the AC mains supply (110-230 V AC).
7. Grounding: Ensure the device is properly grounded according to local electrical codes and industrial standards to protect against electrical surges and ensure stable operation.
8. Configuration: After power-up, configure the access point according to network requirements, including wireless settings, security protocols (WPA2/802.11i/e), and iFeatures.
9. National Approvals: Verify that the installation and operation comply with all relevant national and regional wireless communication approvals and regulations, especially for operation in specific countries like the USA.
