13 Our Demo Network AP WGB Wired Wireless

14 Initial AP Configuration Management interface set to DHCP (no default IP address). Default SSID and radio interfaces are not disabled. Channel and transmit power settings are not set. Custom QoS policy is applied to radio interfaces. Certain QoS and RF parameters are optimized for EtherNet/IP traffic. HTTP and HTTPS are enabled; Telnet and SSH are disabled. CIP is enabled on the management interface (read-only).

22 23 Services: QoS Default configuration for optimized EtherNet/IP performance NOT recommended to change these settings In the WGB role, certain QoS parameters are controlled by the root AP

23 24 Radio Configuration Set AP or WGB if not previously selected Set Transmitter Power as recommended by site survey NOT recommended to use DFS channels Channels are preferred in 5GHz Channels 1, 6 and 11 in 2.4 GHz Configure antenna gain ( 2 dbi for 2.4GHz, 4 dbi for 5GHz) All other radio settings should be left at default

24 Summary Today, plants increasingly use wireless networks for critical Industrial Automation and Control System (IACS) applications that require reliable data transmission with low levels of latency and jitter. Deploying a wireless network requires thoughtful planning and design, as well as periodic monitoring to meet expectations for bandwidth, throughput, reliability and security.
