About This Document
This document describes preparation, operation and maintenance of the XYR 400E Ethernet Modem. Mounting,
installation and wiring are covered in other documents.
Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical control where there is a single point of failure or where single
points of failure result in unsafe conditions. XYR3000 is targeted at open loop control, supervisory control, and controls
that do not have environmental or safety consequences. As with any process control solution, the end-user must weigh the
risks and benefits to determine if the products used are the right match for the application based on security, safety, and
performance. Additionally, it is up to the end-user to ensure that the control strategy sheds to a safe operating condition if
any crucial segment of the control solution fails.

Chapter One INTRODUCTION
The XYR 400E Industrial WiFi Wireless Ethernet module provides wireless connections between
Ethernet devices or Ethernet wired networks (LAN’s). It complies with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
The XYR 400E has an internal 2.4GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) wireless transceiver,
which can be used without a radio license in most countries. Users can select one of 11 x 5 MHz
wide channels, with the first channel centred at 2.412 GHz.
Note that regulations in North America and part of Europe permit all 11 channels to be
used in these countries. Please check with your HONEY ELL representative for the
permitted channel usage in your country.
The XYR 400E unit also provides two serial connections as well as the Ethernet connections. It is
possible to use all three data connections concurrently, allowing the XYR 400E to act as a Device
Server. Wireless connections can be made between serial devices and Ethernet devices, however
appropriate driver applications are required in the host devices to handle the different data format.
The XYR 400E does provide connection functionality between serial “Modbus RTU” devices and
Ethernet “Modbus TCP” devices.
The XYR 400E is available in two models with different RF power:
XYR 400E-100 100mW of RF power
XYR 400E-300 300mW of RF power
Note that European regulations do not permit more than 100m of RF power to be used.
In USA, Canada and Australia, up to 1 of RF power may be generated. In other
countries, please check with your HONEY ELL representative.
The XYR 400E has a standard RJ45 Ethernet connection which will operate at up to 100Mbit/sec.
The module will transmit the Ethernet messages on the wireless band at rates between 1 and 11
Mbit/sec.
1.1 Network Topolo y
The XYR 400E is an Ethernet device, and must be configured as part of an Ethernet network. Each
XYR 400E must be configured as:
 an “Access Point” or a “Client”, and
 a “Bridge” or a “Router”.
You can also connect to the XYR 400E via a RS232 or
RS485 serial port using serial server or PPP (point-to-point) protocol. PPP allows the XYR 400E to
connect serial communications into the Ethernet network.

Access Point vs Client
The Access Point unit acts as the “wireless
master” unit. The Access Point sets up the
wireless links to the Client units, and controls
the wireless communications. The first diagram
shows two Ethernet devices being linked. One
XYR 400E is configured as an Access Point and
one as a Client - in this example it doesn’t mater
which unit is the Access Point.
The second diagram shows an existing LAN being
extended using XYR 400E’s. In this example, the
Access Point should be configured at the LAN end
- although the wireless link will still work if the
Client is at the LAN end.
An Access Point can connect to multiple Clients. In
this case, the Access Point should be the “central”
unit.
An Access Point could be used as a “Repeater” unit
to connect two XYR 400E Clients which do not have direct reliable radio paths.
Multiple Access Points can be set-up in a “mesh” network to provide multiple repeaters.

Brid e vs Router
Each XYR 400E is configured with an IP address for the Ethernet side, and another for the wireless
side.
A Brid e connects devices within the same Ethernet network - for example, extending an existing
Ethernet LAN. For a
Bridge, the IP address for
the wireless side is the
same as the Ethernet side.
A Router connects devices on different LAN’s. The IP addresses for the Ethernet and wireless sides
are different.
In the above example, the wireless link is part of LAN A, with the Client unit acting as a Router
between LAN A and LAN B. Alternately, the Access Point could be configured as a Router - the
wireless link is then part of LAN B.

•169.254.102.54
LAN B
•169.254.102.17
•169.254.102.53
If more than two routers are required within the same radio network, then routing rules may need to
be configured (refer section “3.11 Routing Rules” for further details). There is no limit to the number
of Bridges in the same network - although there is a limit of 128 Client units linked to any one
Access Point.
