1 Product Overview
1.1 Functional Overview
The Rugged ireless RS900 family of products are industrially hardened, fully managed, IEEE
802.11g Access Points with integrated Ethernet switching, specifically designed to operate reliably
in electrically harsh and climatically demanding industrial environments. The RS900 ’s superior
ruggedized design coupled with the RS900 ’s Rugged ireless Operating System (ROS)
provides improved system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for
creating 802.11g ireless Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
The RS900 can be equipped with dual 100Mbps fiber optical Ethernet ports for creating a fiber
optical backbone with high noise immunity and long haul connectivity. The RS900 also provides
dual power inputs for backup power and is packaged in a rugged steel enclosure that can be DIN
rail or panel mounted.
1.2 Feature Highlights
Complies with the IEEE 802.11g 2.4GHz specification ( ireless LAN) including “fallback”
(backward) compatibility with IEEE802.11b station-client devices.
High wireless data rates: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 11, 5.5, 2 and 1Mbps network speed.
The R 80 Access Point functionality will seamlessly integrate wireless and wired Ethernet
LAN networks.
Auto rate fallback in case of obstacles or interferences.
Basic security is provided with 64/128-bit EP Data Encryption function to protect the wireless
data transmissions.
Enhanced security is provided by PA and TKIP data-encryption method.
Robust security is provided by 802.11i/ PA2 (backward compatible with PA stations) and
AES (with CCMP) data-encryption method.
Both PA and PA2 modes both feature Enterprise and Personal configurations for key
management. Enterprise mode will offer IEEE 802.1x security (EAP with RADIUS) while
Personal offers Pre-Shared Key (PSK) “passphrase” to generate keys for authentication.
Integrated ROS™ configuration methods.
Exceeds IEC 61000-6-2 standards for industrial environments and NEMA TS-2 standards for
traffic control equipment.
Operating temperature: -40° to 85°C (no fan)
Power supply options: 12, 24 or 48VDC, and universal HI (88-300VDC or 84-264VAC)
Dual, independent inputs for 24 and 48VDC power supplies for redundancy
Failsafe output relay for critical failure or error alarming
Advanced layer-2 switching functions: Rapid Spanning Tree, Message Prioritization and Virtual
LANs
Full-duplex operation (no collisions) with flow-control

2.2 Power Supply Wiring and Grounding
2.2.1 AC Power Supply Wiring and Grounding
Figure 4 - Po er Supply Inputs
The AC power supply inputs should be connected as follows:
1. +/L should be connected to AC Line/Hot.
2. -/N should be connected to AC Neutral.
3. Surge Ground should be connected to the Chassis Ground via a braided cable or other
appropriate grounding wire. Surge Ground is used as the ground conductor for all surge
and transient suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
4. Chassis Ground must be connected to the AC ground terminal.
NOTES:
1. Equipment must be installed according to the applicable country wiring codes.
2. All line-to-ground transient energy is shunted to the Surge Ground terminal. In cases
where users require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the ground braid
between Surge and Chassis Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection
circuitry will be disabled.

2.2.2 DC Power Supply Wiring and Grounding
Figure 5 - DC Po er supply iring and grounding diagram
The low voltage DC power supply features reverse polarity protection and dual independent inputs.
The latter feature allows the connection of two DC sources with the same nominal voltage to
provide redundant power supply inputs.
The DC power supply inputs should be connected as follows:
1. Connect to the DC inputs according to the polarity markings on the unit.
2. Surge Ground should be connected to the Chassis Ground via a braided cable or other
appropriate grounding wire. Surge Ground is used as the ground conductor for all surge
and transient suppression circuitry internal to the unit.
3. Chassis Ground must be connected to the protective earth.
NOTES:
1. Equipment must be installed according to the applicable country wiring codes.
2. All line-to-ground transient energy is shunted to the Surge Ground terminal. In cases
where users require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the ground braid
between Surge and Chassis Ground. Note that all line-to-ground transient protection
circuitry will be disabled.

2.3 Dielectric Strength (HIPOT) Testing
Units which are to have dielectric strength testing (HIPOT testing) done in the field must have the
braided ground cable disconnected during the test. This is required in order to prevent the surge
suppression circuitry, which is connected to surge ground, from being activated.
