1.1
WiFi devices
1.1.1
WiFi access points
Within the AP / AC offer are several access point devices, providing a choice
of:
1 or 2 radios inside the device
throughput
environmental ruggedness/ingress protection
conformance to government-mandated bandwidth restrictions
Devices rated for IP67 are often used for outdoor installations because of
their ability to withstand rain, snow and dust storms. IP40 devices are
designed primarily for indoor use, but they can be used outdoors when they
are installed inside weather-resistant IP67 enclosures.
Effective throughput for a WiFi device is heavily affected by overhead
considerations, particularly power loss due to the distance between the
access point and its power source. Often the real throughput over a WiFi link
is only half of the specified nominal throughput.
Each radio that operates in an access point requires an antenna.
1.1.2
WiFi clients
A client is a radio device that resides in or is connected to a station. The client
allows the station to communicate wirelessly with an access point. The
PCMCIA card in a laptop that enables the computer to operate wirelessly is
a client, and the laptop is the station. Other types of stations might be moving
vehicles such as forklifts or I/O modules used in a machine such as a
conveyor belt. A client enables its station to operate wirelessly and may
enable the station to roam through a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
environment without loosing its network connection by switching to the next,
strongest signal in the access point array.

1.2
Frequency Bands
AP / AC devices communicate in the radio spectrum. They operate in defined
bandwidths, and they often share that bandwidth space with other devices.
The requirements of your application will determine the frequency band in
which you choose to operate and the types of AP / AC devices to select.
1.2.1
The ISM Bands
The IEEE manages a series of specifications for local area networking called
the 802 family. WiFi devices fall under four 802.11 standards:
Standard
802.11a
802.11b
Frequency Band
5 GHz
2.4 GHz
802.11g
802.11n
2.4 GHz
2.4 and 5 GHz
Transmission Rate
up to 54 Mb/s
5.5 Mb/s
11 Mb/s
up to 54 Mb/s
up to 300 Mb/s
Table 3: WiFi Frequencies and Speeds
The 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands are reserved for industrial, scientific and
medical (ISM) equipment, which uses the radio spectrum for transmitting and
receiving data. They are called the ISM bands. Devices operating within the
bandwidths shared by AP / AC devices are usually unlicensed.
„ Working in the 2.4 GHz Band
Signals in the lower-frequency 2.4 GHz band (802.11b, 802.11g, and
sometimes 802.11n) can propagate through obstacles such as wood,
untempered glass and drywall better than 5 GHz signals. Therefore lower
frequency transmissions can travel longer distances and are sometimes
needed in locations where clients are separated from access points by
walls, windows, high shelves, etc.
The 2.4 MHz bandwidth is such that network throughput often suffers
because of device density in the band. Other ISM devices, such as
microwave ovens and cordless phones, operate in the band and can take
space in the band away from the AP / AC network.
Another consideration that can make communications slow, particularly
when a WLAN requires many access points for coverage, is the limited
channel capacity of the 2.4 GHz band. Each access point in the WLAN
operates on a channel that you assign it in the configuration process. As
a roaming client traverses the WLAN from access point to access point, it
should maintain uninterrupted communication.
16
BAT family
Release 03 08/10
The 2.4 GHz band provides only 13 channels (only 11 are available in
North America), To reduce interference from channel overlap, adjacent
channels in the WLAN should be separated by at least 25 MHz. Most
users choose to run 3 channels, channels 1, 6, and 11. The illustration
below shows an ideal coverage plan where a series of AP / AC access
points broadcasting with omnidirectional antennas are arranged by
channel to limit the channel overlap.
11
11

This coverage illustration is considered an ideal WLAN layout, but quite
often it cannot be installed so cleanly. Walls inside a building or
geographical barriers outdoors often deflect the radio wave transmission.
The floor plan in your building, the terrain and landscape in an outdoor
application, and the presence of other non-WiFi noise in the band need to
be anticipated as part of a network plan before your equipment is
purchased, then tested thoroughly as part of the installation process.
Schneider Electric recommends that you commission a professional site
survey (an independent study of your site requirements) to prepare for the
installation of a WLAN (see page 37).
„ Working in the 5 MHz Band
One clear advantage that a signal in the higher-frequency 5 GHz band
(802.11a and sometimes 802.11n) has is the availability of multiple
channels that do not overlap. In this radio spectrum, at least 8 channels
can be supported cleanly. Another advantage is that the band is not
populated by legacy ISM devices, so interference is much less likely.
There are some disadvantages though. Signals in the 5 MHz band
operate well when there is a clear and unobstructed line of sight. They do
not propagate well through physical obstacles such as interior walls and
doors and outdoor traffic and terrain. Also, some client devices, such as
the built-in wireless adapters in many laptops, operate only in the 2.4 GHz
band.

All of the AP / AC access point devices are dual-band, i.e., they operate
in both the 2.4 MHz and 5 MHz frequency bands. However, you need to
be aware of any bandwidth restrictions at your site when you select your
antennas because several of them are band-specific.
Here is how the access points perform in terms of transmission rate:
1.2.2
Government Regulation of the ISM Bands
Governments control and regulate the allotment of radio spectrum in their
airspace. In Europe, for example, band allocation is managed by the
European Radiocommunications Office (ERO), and in the United States and
Canada by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
If your AP / AC network is being designed to operate in the United States or
Canada, different access point modules are needed than if your network is
located in Europe, Asia, or Australia:
1.2.3
Anticipating Radio Wave Behavior
Because WiFi relies on radio bands for data transmission and reception, you
need to expect some network behaviors that differ from those on the wired
network. These behaviors include:
X the ways that the transmissions propagate through physical impediments
and the atmosphere
X the unbounded nature of radio signals
X the inherent half-duplex nature of radio transmission and reception
Propagation can be hindered by both visible and invisible impediments.
„ Visible impediments
Visible impediments include walls, doors, windows and stacked material
inside a building. If you have chosen to operate at 2.4 GHz in order to get
the signal to propagate through a wall, you also need to know what is
behind the wall. A steel reinforcing beam or a mortar and cement fireblock
(a physical wall, not a network firewall) will deflect (or block) the radio
signal more severely than you might have expected if you assumed you
were passing through drywall.
If you intend to propagate the signal through windows, you need to be
aware of the characteristics of the glass. 2.4 GHz signals can pass
through standard window glass relatively cleanly, but tempered or bulletproof glass severely deflects the signal.
If you are planning an outdoor implementation of WiFi, you need to
consider the existing terrain over which the signal will pass. If you need to
send a signal over a hill or over another building, you need to use an
access point and antenna as a bridge. If you are traversing an area that
has an unobstructed line of sight between the two points in your link,
18
BAT family
Release 03 08/10
make sure that the line will remain unobstructed as long as you need your
network. A signal may work well in the winter when the trees are bare, but
it may suffer significant degradation when the leaves bloom. If you are
traversing an open field, you need to know whether a new building will be
constructed between the two ends of the link.
You also need to know that some form of power supply is near each AP /
AC access point. If the power is to be delivered over the Ethernet (PoE),
remember that the access point must be within 100 m (109 yd) of the
Ethernet cabinet.
„ Invisible impediments
Invisible impediments are the radio signals that compete with your WLAN
in the same bandwidth. This competition is more common in the 2.4 MHz
band because so many other ISM equipment uses the frequency band.
Realize that if your business is involved in microwave work, for example,
a 2.4 GHz WLAN will need to compete for bandwidth in the same
frequency band. This is also true for Bluetooth and some other unlicensed
radio devices.
„ Boundless nature of radio transmissions
Another key difference between a wired and a wireless network is the fact
that wireless radio transmissions will not be contained by the walls of your
building. Unlike a wired network where signals travel over a defined path,
radio signals bounce off obstacles and penetrate through the boundaries
of your facility to the outside world.
AP / AC devices are equipped with powerful authentication and
encryption features that can help protect your data from unauthorized
listeners and traffic. Refer to the AP / AC Configuration and Aministration
Guide for details.
„ Half duplex communication
Communications between a AP / AC access point and its clients or
between multiple access points is half-duplex. One end of the link must
wait while the other transmits, resulting in slower communications.
Wireless should not be used as the sole or primary means of control in a
time-critical application.
Because communications are via broadcast, messages are sent to all
participants in the network. The overall transmission capacity of the AP /
AC access point is therefore shared by all the participants.

Device description
Properties and functions
The devices of the BAT family enable you to set up WLANs (Wireless Local
Area Networks) in order to connect individual devices (PCs and mobile
computers) with a local network. In contrast to a conventional network
connection via copper cables and glass fibers, some of the communication is
by means of a radio link.
The devices of the BAT family can be used for both new installations and for
expanding an existing LAN. Thanks to their high level of flexibility, you can
combine large, small, mobile and non-mobile locations. Anywhere that high
bandwidths, stable operation and network security are required, wireless
LAN with the devices of the BAT family provides the ideal solution.
The BAT54-F is an access point/access client with a WLAN interface for
dualband operation in accordance with IEEE802.11b/g and IEEE802.11a/h,
and it is specially designed for outdoor use with protection class IP67. The
BAT54-F can be installed quickly and easily using wizards via the Windows
configuration software or the Web interface. The wide range of BAT
antennas provide the correct solution for every requirement - even out-of-thebox solutions.
The devices are designed for the special requirements of industrial
automation. They are suitable for outdoor use and in environments with the
danger of explosions. They meet the relevant industry standards, provide
very high operational reliability, even under extreme conditions, and also
long-term reliability and flexibility. The devices operate without fans and have
a redundant voltage supply. You can mount the devices on a pole or on a flat
surface (e.g. wall).
The devices differ with regard to their design, the standards they support and
their certifications, as shown in the table below:

Putting components together (BAT-F)
To protect the exposed contacts of the components from dirt, the individual
system components must be connected in a dry and clean area. Seal unused
ports with the cover caps supplied.
Note: Connectors are not electrical isolating devices.
Therefore, first plug the connector into the power supply plug, then switch on
the power supply.
Note: Protection class IP67 is only achieved if all the connected components
also fulfill protection class IP67.
Cover unused connectors with the cover caps supplied.
Only connect plugs and other components that fulfill protection class IP
67, and that are certified for a temperature range from -30 °C to +55 °C
(-22 °F to +131 °F).

setting up
Set up/mount the device in a location where the ambient conditions
comply with the specified listed in the technical data.
3.5
Mounting outdoors (BAT-F)
Note: Set up the antenna close to the device. Use the shortest antenna cable
possible to minimize attenuation.
Note: Cable connections are subject to corrosion in outdoor installations.
Seal the outdoor cable connectors with water- and weather-resistant tape.
3.5.1
Lightning protection
Note the safety instructions for lightning protection (see the datasheet for
lightning protection or the WLAN Outdoor Guide).
If possible, avoid installing in locations with a high risk 
of lightning. This applies in particular to installing antennas.
The antenna should not be the highest point in the area. If this is the case,
use a separate lightning conductor to divert lightning strikes.
BAT family
Release 03 08/10

Warning
Lightening protection is an indispensible part of your outdoor
antenna installation. It protects your sensitive electronic devices
from transient or electrostatic discharges to the antenna.
Warning
Antennas placed outdoors must be within the catchment area of a
lightening conductor. Make sure that there is lightening protection
equipotential bonding for all conductive systems leading from
outdoors. When implementing your lightening protection concept, make sure
you meet the requirements of standards VDE 0182 and IEC 62305.
Hirschmann recommends using the Hirschmann BAT Protector as a
lightening protection (see on page 69 “Accessories“).
Warning
Installing this lightening protection element between an antenna
and a BAT-F does not alone provide sufficient protection against a
lightening strike. The BAT Protector lightening protection element
only works as part of a comprehensive lightening protection concept. If you
have any questions relating to this, contact a qualified dealer.
Note: The requirements of EN61000-4-5, surge test on power supply lines,
are only met if a Blitzductor VT AD 24V, article No. 918 402, is used.
Manufacturer: DEHN+SÖHNE GmbH+Co.KG, Hans Dehn Str.1, 
Postfach 1640, D-92306 Neumarkt.
Warning
Connect the external antenna, the housing ground and the
lightening protection to the same ground system, e.g. to the building
ground.
For further information on lightning protection, see the “WLAN Outdoor
Guide”.

BAT54 types: Use the respective main connection of the two WLAN
modules to connect antennas that have only one antenna connection
without diversity.
Use the main and auxiliary connections of one WLAN module if you want
to use the diversity function. The diversity function increases the
connection quality by always sending or receiving via the antenna
providing the best contact to the client. Then also set this option for the
respective radio module.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) - 
power supply via the LAN cable
Hirschmann Wireless Routers are prepared for the PoE (Power over
Ethernet) procedure and conform to the 802.3af standard. PoE-capable
network devices can be supplied with power via the LAN cable. This makes
it unnecessary to have a separate power supply for every base station, thus
considerably reducing the work involved in the installation.
