Installation

General Safety Instructions

Caution
This equipment emits RF energy in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band. Make sure that all medical devices used in proximity to this equipment meet appropriate susceptibility specifications for this type of RF energy.

This equipment is recommended for use in both industrial and domestic environments. For industrial environments it is mandatory to use the functional earth connection to comply with immunity requirements. For domestic environments the functional earth must be used if a shielded Ethernet cable is used, in order to meet emission requirements.

This equipment contains parts that can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use ESD prevention measures to avoid damage.

General Information

Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of your local network environment before installation.

For optimal reception, wireless devices require a zone between them clear of objects that could otherwise obstruct or reflect the signal. A minimum distance of 50 cm between the devices should also be observed to avoid interference.

The characteristics of the antenna should also be considered when choosing the placement and orientation of the unit.

See the Anybus Wireless Bolt RJ45 PoE User Manual for more information.

Mechanical Installation

Placement

The device is intended to be mounted on top of a machine or cabinet through an M50 (50.5 mm) hole using the included sealing ring and nut.
The top mounting surface, in contact with the sealing, must be flat with a finish equivalent to Ra 3.2 or finer and cleaned and free from oils and greases.
For optimal reception, wireless devices require a zone between them clear of objects that could otherwise obstruct or reflect the signal. To avoid interference, a minimum distance of 50 cm between Wireless Bolt RJ45 PoE and other devices should be observed.

Make sure that the sealing ring is correctly placed in the circular groove in the top part of the housing before tightening the nut.

Always hold the BOTTOM part of the unit when untightening the nut, not the top part (the cap).

Tightening torque: 5 Nm ±10 %

Mechanical Installation
All measurements are in mm.

Connectors

Connecting power with reverse polarity or using the wrong type of power supply may damage the equipment. Make sure that the power supply is connected correctly and of the recommended type.

See also _Technical Data, p. 14 _regarding power supply requirements.

RESET Button

The RESET button is located on the bottom of the unit.

When the unit is powered on, press and hold RESET for >10 seconds and then release it to reset to the factory default settings.

Recovery Mode

If the web interface cannot be accessed, the unit can be reset by starting in Recovery Mode and reinstalling the firmware using Anybus Firmware Manager II, which can be downloaded from www.anybus.com/support.

To enter Recovery Mode, press and hold RESET during startup.

Firmware updates should normally be carried out through the web interface. Recovery Mode should only be used if the unit is unresponsive and the web interface cannot be accessed.

Configuration

Anybus Wireless Bolt RJ45 PoE is configured via a web interface. Parameters can be set individually or using pre-configured Easy Config modes.

Advanced configuration can be carried out by issuing AT commands via the web interface or over a Telnet or RAW TCP connection to port 8080.

Web Interface

The web interface is accessed by pointing a web browser to the IP address of the unit. The default address is 192.168.0.99.

The configuration settings are described in detail in the User Manual.

Configuration Examples

This example describes how to connect two Ethernet network segments via WLAN or Bluetooth using Easy Config.

In the web interface of unit 1, activate Easy Config Mode 4. This unit will now be discoverable and open for automatic configuration.
In the web interface of unit 2, activate Easy Config Mode 5 for WLAN or 6 for Bluetooth. Unit 2 will now discover and configure unit 1 as a client and configure itself as an access point.

Unit 1 will be assigned the first free IP address in the same Ethernet subnet as unit 2.

Adding More Devices
Up to 6 additional clients can be added by repeating the procedure. Each new client will be assigned the next free IP address in the current subnet.
