Operating modes
WS103 is a stand-alone multiradio module that supports Wi-Fi
®
, Classic Bluetooth
®
, and Bluetooth
®
Low
Energy (planned). It can run as a single radio module with only one radio-mode enabled or as a true
multiradio module with both Bluetooth
®
and Wi-Fi
®
enabled concurrently. When WS103 runs as a
multiradio module, coexistence is handled internally and will swap between Bluetooth
®
and Wi-Fi
®
when
needed and ensures that no transmissions occur simultaneously. The WS103 interface is designed to
provide wireless access to the CAN data of a vehicle or machine or system via WLAN / Bluetooth
®
. The
module can be used as CAN-WLAN / Bluetooth
®
interface or wireless CAN-CAN bridge. In a CAN-WLAN /
Bluetooth
®
interface, WS103 is used for transmission of CAN data to other WLAN / Bluetooth
®
/ network
devices, such as computers, smartphones or tablets on which the CAN data can be managed and
evaluated.
Power modes
Power saving mode is available to optimize the power consumption. To enable the power saving mode
the device must be configured by using the WS Wireless Configurator and the PIN3 will be used to enable
this functionality.

upgrade the FW of the device by using WS FW programmer. The max bit rate on the serial port is 230
kbit/s.
WLAN frequencies
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) uses Radio Frequency (RF) technology to transmit and receive
data over the air. To enable transmission of different types of communication as data, it is essential that
hardware and software comply to specified standards. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) have established the IEEE 802.11 standard, which is the most used WLAN standard of
today. WLAN products based on the 802.11b/g standards operate in the 2.400 to 2.497 GHz frequency
range. APs supporting the 802.11b/g standard have up to 14 channels with center frequencies that are 5
MHz apart (applies to channel 1 to 13) either 22 MHz (802.11b) or 20 MHz (802.11g), the center
frequencies for non-overlapping channels must be at least 25 MHz apart. The 802.11b and 802.11g

W
Warning
If the frequency bands are U-NII-2 (5.260 to 5.320 GHz) and U-NII-2 extended (5.500 to 5.700 GHz), the
module can be operated as a DFS slave / client device.
The Japan Radio Equipment Compliance (TELEC) only approves the use of the 2.4 GHz frequency band
(channels 1-13). The operation of the module in the 5 GHz frequency band is prohibited in Japan.
If the frequency band is 5150 MHz to 5250 MHz (5 GHz, channel 34-48), the module is limited to
operation within buildings to reduce any possibility of harmful interference to co-channel MSS
operations.
WLAN mode infrastructure
There are two types of WLAN topologies: the ad-hoc mode and the infrastructure mode. The
infrastructure mode, is used to incorporate the wireless clients into an existing wired LAN infrastructure.
In the infrastructure mode all communication is passed through the Access Points (APs) that are
connected to the wired LAN. A single AP communicating with a number of clients is called a Basic Service
Set (BSS). A number of interconnected APs with the same network name is called an Extended Service Set
(ESS). An AP that holds information about the mobile clients authorized to enter the system is called an
autonomous AP (or "fat" AP), whereas an AP that only is responsible for forwarding received data, is
called a controller-based AP (or "thin" AP). While the autonomous APs carry out all wired to wireless
packet format conversion, encryption, QoS application, and RF statistics monitoring, the very thinnest
APs pass all of this to their central controller, and act basically just as a media converter.
WLAN infrastructure and PLUS+1
®
Service Tool
With WS103 installed on the CANbus of a machine equipped with PLUS+1
®
control system, it can be
configured to be connected to an AP and Service Tool program running on a laptop connected to the
same AP the user can connect wireless to a PLUS+1
®
control system and manage it remotely. For more
information see the installation guide document.
WLAN CAN to CAN bridging
Two WS103 modules can be configured as a CAN-CAN bridge. Every (or selected) CAN message received
by one WS103 is sent through Wi-Fi
®
and managed by the second WS103. For more information see
WS103 Remote Solution Installation Guide, AN00000339.
Access control and security
Since the physical layer in a WLAN is broadcast over the air, the normal methods to control a
conventional LAN cannot be used.
To secure the WLAN from intruders, authentication and encryption are important factors. Measures, like
creating a MAC address filter, make it a little more difficult for intruders to access and use the WLAN.
There are stronger methods, such as using authentication, but these often require dedicated servers or
other hardware.
