Features:
- One radio serves IEEE 802.11a/b/g/h/n operation in the selected 2.4 or 5 GHz band.
- A 10/100 Mbit/s RJ45 port connects the access point to wired Industrial Ethernet.
- The R-SMA interface keeps the antenna and feeder path external to the cabinet unit.
The access point bridges wireless stations to the wired network under its configured SSID and security profile.
DIN-rail and wall mounting options place the device inside the documented IP20 environment.
Status LEDs distinguish supply, Ethernet and radio conditions during commissioning.
The Siemens 6GK5761-1FC00-0AA0 SCALANCE W761-1 RJ45 IWLAN Access Point is listed as available from the original manufacturer (OEM).

Following the wireless signal through the external antenna system
- R-SMA connection: The antenna feeder attaches to the single radio connector.
- Cable loss: Feeder length and connector loss reduce power reaching the antenna.
- Antenna placement: Cabinet position and surrounding metal influence coverage and polarization.
- Channel plan: The configured band and channel must remain valid for the installation country.
Moving IWLAN traffic onto the wired plant segment
- Wireless association: A client joins the configured SSID and security domain.
- Bridge function: Accepted frames pass between the radio and RJ45 interfaces.
- Wired link: The Ethernet port negotiates the attached switch or controller connection.
- Management address: IP settings provide access to configuration and diagnostics without replacing the bridge path.
Supplying the cabinet access point through one documented path
- DC terminals: An external 24 V DC source powers the unit within its permitted range.
- PoE input: A compliant Ethernet supply can deliver power on the network cable.
- Grounding: Protective connection bonds the unit to the cabinet installation.
- Startup order: Stable supply is confirmed before radio and Ethernet parameters are evaluated.
Separating RF, security and wired-network causes
- Radio status: The WLAN indication confirms whether the radio is operating.
- Association check: SSID, authentication and encryption must agree with the client.
- Signal check: Antenna path and placement are tested before increasing transmit settings.
- End-to-end test: RJ45 link, VLAN and IP routing remain separate from a successful wireless association.
