• Radio card (compatible with IEEE 802.11b/g and IEEE 802.11a/h) permanently installed in device
• Designed without rotating parts (e.g. operation without fans)
• Antennas can either be connected via a screw connection (R-SMA) or integrated into the device, e.g. for SCALANCE W-786; they can be replaced with other types from the IWLAN product range
• Function LEDs for optical signaling of faults and operating states
• 1 x C-PLUG-/PRESET-PLUG slot
