Features:
- One 3 x 3 MIMO radio supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n operation in the selected industrial WLAN band.
- Three N-Connect ports allow external antennas to be chosen for the required machine-cell coverage.
- M12 Ethernet, PoE, redundant 24 V DC, C-PLUG, KEY-PLUG, and IP65 protection support rugged installations.
Siemens 6GK5788-1GD00-0AA0 is a SCALANCE W788-1 M12 access point with one radio and external antenna connections for engineered industrial coverage.
The M12 Ethernet interface carries plant-network traffic and can supply PoE, while redundant 24 V DC terminals provide an alternate or resilient power path.
Configuration plugs, multiple SSIDs, security functions, and the sealed enclosure support serviceable WLAN cells when antenna choice and connector sealing are handled correctly.
The Siemens 6GK5788-1GD00-0AA0 SCALANCE W788-1 M12 IWLAN Access Point may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

External-Antenna Architecture
- Connections: Three N-Connect female ports accept the engineered antenna paths.
- MIMO layout: The three radio chains support a 3 x 3 antenna arrangement.
- Coverage planning: Antenna pattern, gain, cable loss, mounting location, and regulatory limits must be evaluated together.
- Weather sealing: Installed cables and any unused interfaces require the specified sealed treatment to preserve enclosure protection.
Rugged Network and Supply Interfaces
- Network port: One M12 Ethernet interface supports 10 and 100 Mbit/s communication.
- PoE operation: Power can be carried over the Ethernet connection in a suitable installation.
- DC inputs: Redundant 24 V DC terminals provide a separate resilient supply arrangement.
- Variant warning: The M12 connection must not be confused with RJ45 versions in the W788 family.
Wireless Network Parameters
- Radio band: The single radio is configured for the required 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz WLAN cell.
- Service sets: Up to eight SSIDs separate defined client groups.
- Security: WPA, WPA2, and IEEE 802.11i settings control authenticated access.
- Configuration plug: C-PLUG or KEY-PLUG media can retain parameters and licensed functions.
Environmental and Maintenance Boundaries
- Enclosure rating: IP65 protection supports installation near industrial machinery.
- Temperature range: Operation is specified from -20 to +60 °C.
- Service preparation: Save channel, SSID, security, VLAN, and plug data before changing hardware.
- Return to service: Verify antenna paths, connector seals, supply redundancy, link status, and client roaming after replacement.
