Note on wireless communication

General information
Note on wireless communication

Data communication between the acquisition unit and the CEREC MC XL milling unit should preferably be implemented via the wireless H&W interface or WLAN. As for all wireless connections (e.g. mobile telephones) heavy utilization of the available radio channels or shielding caused by building installations (e.g. metal-shielded X-ray enclosures) may impair the quality of the connection. This may become noticeable through a reduction in range and/or a slower data transmission rate. In extreme cases, it will be impossible to establish a wireless connection at all. Sirona has selected the best possible configuration for data communication via the wireless H&W interface or WLAN, which generally provides perfect functioning of this connection. However, in individual cases unrestricted wireless data communication may be impossible for the reasons mentioned above and/or due to local circumstances. In such cases, a cable LAN connection should be selected to ensure uninterrupted operation. If the only LAN interface on the rear of the CEREC AC is occupied by another plug, remove this H&W wireless interface connection and instead connect the LAN cable with the CEREC MC XL milling unit.

PC designation Communication in the infrastructure mode

In the following text, the acquisition unit and the InLab system PC are both referred to as "PC". The milling unit communicates with the PC via WLAN in the infrastructure mode. The data is transmitted via an intermediate station or access point. The best possible data communication takes place when the access point and milling unit are interconnected via the included 1:1 network cable (10 m, Order No.: 61 51 521). 61 51 521). The network cable must be connected to the milling unit at LAN port (A).

6.3 Analyzing the connection quality in Infrastructure


Mode
Analyzing the WLAN connection quality is essential for the optimal wireless operation of the CEREC system. Merely observing the WLAN signal strength using appropriate software tools is not enough to provide information concerning the connection quality. In particular, the utilization of the set WLAN channel is critical here. The occurrence of weak communications despite good signal strength points to an overloaded WLAN channel.

Switch off the PC, access point and milling unit.

1. Position the PC near the access point (1-2 m away).
