Features:
- A single dual-band radio uses 3x3 MIMO and three R-SMA antenna connections.
- The gigabit RJ45 port carries Ethernet and accepts Power over Ethernet.
- Managed security, multiple SSIDs, and KEY-PLUG iFeatures organize industrial wireless traffic.
Access-point and client modes let the same radio interface either serve wireless stations or join an existing wireless infrastructure.
The digital input and signaling output connect selected device conditions to external control or monitoring circuits.
Configuration through the browser or command line is complemented by SNMP, Syslog, VLAN, and DHCP functions for network administration.
The Siemens 6GK5788-1FC00-0AA0 SCALANCE W788-1 RJ45 IWLAN Access Point may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
Wireless Signal Formation
- Single radio: One radio module operates in the selected 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz band.
- MIMO paths: Three transmit and receive chains support as many as three spatial streams.
- Antenna boundary: Three R-SMA sockets connect the external antennas required by the selected radio arrangement.
- Regional use: Available channels and frequencies depend on the configured country approval outside the USA and Israel.
Wireless and Wired Roles
- Access point: The device links wireless stations to the network through its Ethernet interface.
- Client mode: The same hardware can join a WLAN as a wireless client for attached equipment.
- SSID separation: Up to eight network names divide wireless access into configured logical groups.
- Ethernet path: The gigabit RJ45 connection carries traffic between the radio and the wired LAN.
Authentication and Traffic Control
- Wireless encryption: WPA and WPA2 use TKIP or AES according to the selected security profile.
- User validation: 802.1X and RADIUS move credential decisions to an authentication service.
- Access lists: MAC and IP filtering restrict configured devices or traffic paths.
- Management access: SSH and SNMPv3 protect administrative sessions and monitoring data.
Supply and Enclosure Boundaries
- PoE path: The RJ45 cable can carry both Ethernet frames and operating power to the access point.
- DC path: Terminal wiring accepts redundant 24 V DC supplies as an alternative to PoE.
- Indoor enclosure: IP30 limits exposure, so harsher locations require a suitable protective cabinet.
- Zone 2 condition: Hazardous-area installation requires the access point to be placed inside an enclosure rated at least IP54.
