Safety
General Safety Instructions
CautionThis 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
CautionThe M12 power and LAN connectors must be provided with tool operated mechanical lock nuts that are tightened by the installer.
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.
External Antenna Restrictions
For models with external antenna, only use antennas that are certified for use with this equipment. Using external antennas that are not certified for use with this equipment will invalidate its certifications and make it non-compliant with the regulations for radio equipment.
A list of certified antennas can be found at www.anybus.com/support.
Intended Use
The intended use of this equipment is as a communication interface and gateway. The equipment receives and transmits data on various physical levels and connection types.
If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Type Identification
The type name consists of a type prefix followed by two designators for interface configuration and functionality
| Prefix | AWB3 | Anybus Wireless Bridge II |
| Interface configuration | AB | Internal antenna, Dual M12 External antenna, Dual M12, RP-SMA |
| Functionality | AB | Ethernet with digital input Ethernet w/o digital input |
Example: AWB3AA = Anybus Wireless Bridge II with internal antenna, Ethernetnetworking and digital input.
Installation
General Information
Anybus Wireless Bridge II can be screw-mounted directly onto a flat surface or mounted on a standard DIN rail using the optional DIN mounting kit.
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.
For models with internal antenna the characteristics of the antenna should be considered when choosing the placement and orientation of the unit. See the User Manual for more information about the antenna characteristics for this equipment.
Make sure that you have all the necessary information about the capabilities and restrictions of your local network environment before installation.

These LEDs are also used when selecting an Easy Config mode and to indicateupdate status in Recovery Mode.
The MODE button can be used to restart or reset the unit as well as for selecting an Easy Config mode.
When the unit is powered on, press and hold MODE 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.
Recovery Mode LED Indications
In Recovery Mode the Status LEDs will indicate firmware update status:
| PWR | Green | Firmware update in progress |
| Green, blinking | Waiting for valid firmware | |
| WLAN + BT | Alternating red/blue | Firmware update in progress |
Configuration
Anybus Wireless Bridge II is normally configured via the web interface or using one of the 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 ofthe unit. The default address is 192.168.0.99
The configuration settings are described in detail in the User Manual.
Easy Config
