The wireless LAN Interface LWLAN‑800 can be used with L‑INX Automation Servers, L‑ROC Room Controllers, L-DALI Controllers, the L‑GATE Universal Gateways, L-IP Routers of the series ECTC, NIC709-IP3E100C Remote Network Interfaces, and with most L‑VIS Touch Panels. The L‑WLAN Interface only needs to be connected to the USB port. Due to the USB bus, the L‑WLAN device is energy supplied and detected automatically.

The L-WLAN Interface uses the protocol IEEE 802.11n improvements which significantly increase connection speed, is backward compatible to IEEE 802.11b & IEEE 802.11g, offers a link speed up to 150 Mbps, and an operation frequency/channel:

• USA (FCC) 11 Channels: 2.412 GHz ~ 2.462 GHz
• Europe (ETSI) 13 Channels: 2.412 GHz ~ 2.472 GHz
• Japan 13 Channels: 2.412 GHz ~ 2.472 GHz

After attaching an LWLAN‑800 Interface to the USB port of the corresponding LOYTEC device, it is possible to connect it to an existing WLAN Access Point, create a WLAN Access Point, or build up a Mesh network (IEEE 802.11s). The relatively new and emerging standard for Mesh networks offers numerous advantages. A major benefit of a Mesh network is its autonomy. Mesh point configured devices unite autonomously to one network in which Mesh points communicate via other Mesh points. To encrypt a WLAN network the encryption methods WEP, WPA, and WPA2 are available. The Mesh network is encrypted via simultaneous authentication of equals (SAE), comparable to WPA2.

The supplied antennas have a radial gain of up to +2 dBi and have to be mounted outside any metallized housing. To avoid any interferences, please keep a minimum distance of 0.5 m to any electronic devices which also operate with high-frequency signals such as of transformers, ballasts, computers, etc.
