1 Device description

1.1 Properties and functions

The BAT54-F enables you to set up WLANs (Wireless Local Area Networks)

in order to connect individual devices (PCs and mobile computers) with a lo-

cal network. In contrast to a conventional LAN, the communication here is by

means of radio links, not network cables.

The BAT54-F devices can be used for both new installations and for expand-

ing an existing LAN. Thanks to their high level of flexibility, you can combine

large, small, mobile and non-mobile locations. Anywhere that high band-

widths, stable operation and network security is required, wireless LAN with

the BAT54-F provides the ideal solution.

The BAT54-F is an access point/access client with a WLAN interface for du-

alband 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 anten-

nas provide the correct solution for every requirement - even out-of-the-box

solutions.

The devices are designed for the special requirements of industrial automa-

tion. 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 re-

liability and flexibility. The devices operate without fans and have a redun-

dant voltage supply. You can mount the devices on a wall or a pole.

It can be easily managed via a Web browser, via Telnet, with a management

software product (such as HiVision) or locally on the device (V.24 interface).

The devices differ with regard to their certification and the type of integrated

intenna (if included).

The devices provide you with a large range of features:

XSturdy metal housing with protection class IP67

XSecure wall and pole mounting

XRedundant power supply with two 24V supplies and one Power over ETH-

ERNET supply

XTemperature range –20° to +55°C

XWireless LAN interfaces in accordance with IEEE802.11b/g and

IEEE802.11a/h

XCreation of redundant WLAN connections for secure data transmission

10 BAT54-F

XBoth radio modules can be operated separately as an access point or ac-

cess client

XHigh mobility combined with maximum security

XFaster roaming and prioritizing, also with 802.1x authentication

XHigh performance operating system with high range of functions via Mul-

tiSSID, VLAN, Rapid SpanningTree, RADIUS server, IP router, firewall,

DHCP server, etc.

XManagement software for Windows, Web configuration, Telnet interface

and management via SNMP

Antenna technology for a high quality signal

XFor operation indoors and outdoors

XMounting with cables provided

XSecure wall and pole bracket

XDirect management via Web browser (HTTP, HTTPS)

XCommand line level: TelNet

XCan always be reached via serial interface

XPartial configuration of multiple devices via scripting

XWLANmonitor for convenient monitoring of WLANs with Rogue AP

Detection

XMonitoring of all BAT54-F devices as clients and as access points in

an application

Communication via all levels

The addition, to the BAT wireless transmission system, of the RS20/

RS30/RS40 open rail range of switches, the MICE range of switches, the

MACH range of backbone switches, the EAGLE security system, and

products for the LION control room, provides continuous communication

across all levels of the company.
