Features:
- One client radio links Ethernet equipment to 2.4GHz or 5GHz industrial WLAN.
- Two D-coded M12 ports share an integrated 10/100Mbit/s Ethernet switch.
- An IP65 enclosure supports DIN-rail or wall installation from -20 to 60°C.
Siemens
6GK5738-1GY00-0AA0 occupies the client side of a SCALANCE IWLAN connection and forwards traffic between its wired M12 ports and the selected radio channel.
The two antenna sockets on
6GK5738-1GY00-0AA0 support the radio's 2x2 MIMO signal paths, while the two spatial streams contribute to the documented wireless transfer rate.
For commissioning,
6GK5738-1GY00-0AA0 stores device settings on C-PLUG media and uses KEY-PLUG options only when the corresponding iFeatures are required.
The Siemens 6GK5738-1GY00-0AA0 SCALANCE W738-1 M12 IWLAN Client may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Wired-to-Wireless Signal Flow
- Wired ports: Two D-coded M12 ports connect Industrial Ethernet devices at 10/100Mbit/s.
- Switch path: The integrated switch forwards traffic between both M12 ports and the client radio.
- Radio link: One 2x2 MIMO radio carries the network connection over either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band.
- Antenna paths: Two N-Connect sockets separate the radio's two antenna signal paths.
Client-Mode Setup and Storage
- Operating role: 6GK5738-1GY00-0AA0 operates in client mode and does not provide an enabled access-point mode.
- Configuration access: Web management, CLI and STEP 7 provide distinct setup routes.
- C-PLUG: This removable medium retains the device configuration outside the unit.
- KEY-PLUG: This medium enables the documented iFeatures when the matching option is required.
Available Supply Routes
- DC connector: An A-coded M12 connector accepts the documented redundant DC supply.
- Redundant range: The DC path operates across the stated 16.8-31.2VDC range.
- PoE supply: A separate 48VDC route can carry power through the network connection.
- Thermal load: Typical internal power loss is 6W for enclosure thermal planning.
Status Access and Network Protection
- Status channels: PROFINET diagnostics, SNMP and SysLog expose device and network conditions through different management paths.
- Access control: IEEE 802.1x and RADIUS support authenticated network access.
- Wireless encryption: WPA/WPA2 with TKIP or AES protects the configured radio connection.
- Secure management: SSH provides an encrypted session for supported command-line access.
