The bintec WI-Client is intended to connect devices with ethernet or serial interfaces to a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) corresponding to the 802.11 a/b/g/h standard. Typical application for the bintec WI-Client is the wide range of industrial application such machine to machine communication or mobile environment, i.e. a forklift.

The WI-Client connects over the ethernet interface all devices in its LAN segment with a LAN that is accessible over WLAN. In those scenarios all bintec Access Point are suitable for use. The bintec WI-Client can receive and transmit data over it’s serial port which are exchanged over LAN or WLAN with other devices, i.e. annother WI-Client. The implementation of the serial interface is also compatible with the bintec WIx040 and WIx065 series.

• Output power: Selectable 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, max. (18) dBm. The maximum output power varies according datarate and frequency band.
• Channel setting: According IEEE 802.11d
• Antenna diversity: Can be switched on / off
• Wireless mode: Infrastruce mode: For connection to Aps, i.e. W1002 or other AP’s. Ad-hoc mode: For connection to other WI-Clients (Bridge)
• 802.11 modes: Compatibly modes: 802.11b only, 802.11g only, 802.11b/g mixed mode, 802.11a/h
• AP Density: No roaming, high, middle, low. Select the accesspoint density to control the behaviour when roaming between APs. The selected value defines the signal threshold where the device starts scanning for other APs.
• List of available AP's: Include information about MAC address, SSID, Channel, Signal strenght
• Country specific settings: Operation channel according the regulatory domain
• TPC (Transmission power control): At 5 GHz operation automatic power regulation supported according EN301893
• DFS (Dynamic frequency selection): Relevant for 5 GHz operation: Implementation is not mandatory for devices there working in client mode. Together with bintec AP’s the maximum allowed EIRP in 5 GHz operation is 200 mW.
• RTS/CTS: RTS/CTS Threshold selectable

Maintenance and Service

• Configuration and Setup: Via Webinterface
• Supervision and Recovery: Supports the Compoint manager to detect the device on the LAN and mangaging the device IP address. Reset Button to set the device back to defaults
• Configuration Management: Via Configuration File up and download

Serial Leased Line Support

• Interface (mechanical): RS232 Interface with 9-pole D-sub female connector
• Interface (electrical): 300-115,2 kbit/s, RTS, CTS, DSR, DCD, RI
• Operation: Data transmission parallel to the Ethernet communication
• Handshake mode: XON/XOFF, RTS/CTS or DTR/DSR are local handshake modes. In 'remote mode' the status of the handshake input signals (DSR+CTS) will be send to the remote side via an extra port.
• Port Mode: TCP/IP server; TCP/IP client; UDP/IP; Printer server; Com Server. The TCP/IP server and client mode is compatible to the implementation of the WIx040 and WIx065 Access Points. The Com Server mode is compatible to some PC applications.

Software Features

• Cloning mode (I): This feature controls the MAC Address of the Bridge as seen by other devices (wired or wireless).
• Cloning mode (II): If set to 'Ethernet Client (var)', the MAC Address from the first Ethernet client that transmits data through the Bridge will be used. This setting is useful if there is only one Ethernet device connected to the Bridge.
• Cloning mode (II): If set to 'Ethernet Client (fixed)', the MAC Address that is given in the Parameter 'Fixed Client MAC' will be used. If set to 'WLAN Card', the MAC Address of the WLAN Card will be used.
• DHCP Relay Agent: Can switched on/off
