6.9 Interface with a wireless LAN interface
The 7KN Powercenter 3000 does not provide its own WLAN interface. For that reason, the
wireless LAN interface is implemented with a WLAN access point that is connected to the
X1P1 data interface.
To ensure the required accessibility and IT availability of the 7KN Powercenter 3000, products
must be used that have suitable transmission ranges and redundancy measures as specified
by the manufacturer. To achieve this, the antenna equipment is best mounted on the outside
of the switchboard.

6.9.1 Security aspects of the wireless LAN interface
It is much easier for unauthorized parties to access a wireless LAN than a cabled Ethernet.
For this reason, the wireless LAN is only used for its specific purpose and is administered
restrictively to ensure this.
