EtherWave - WMR
1.0 Overview
The EtherWave-WMR is a high-performance wireless ethernet bridge
and serial gateway. Alternately, a Master EtherWave-WMR unit may
be configured to operate as a wireless ethernet router (and serial
gateway).
When properly configured and installed, long range communications
at very high speeds can be achieved.
The EtherWave-WMR operates within the 902-928MHz ISM fre-
quency band, employing frequency hopping spread spectrum
(FHSS) and also, for 1.1Mbps operation, digital transmission service
(DTS) technology.
They provide reliable wireless ethernet bridge functionality as well
gateway service for asynchronous data transfer between most equip-
ment types which employ an RS232, RS422, or RS485 interface.
The small size and superior performance of the EtherWave-WMR
makes it ideal for many applications. Some typical uses for this mo-
dem:
1.1 Performance Features
Key performance features of the EtherWave-WMR include:
1 920-928MHz, which is license-exempt within North America, may need to be
factory-configured differently for other areas: contact IoSelect Inc.
· SCADA
· remote telemetry
· traffic control
· industrial controls
· remote monitoring
· LAN extension
· GPS
· wireless video
· robotics
· display signs
· fleet management
· transmission within a public, license-exempt band of the radio
spectrum1- this means that the modems may be used without
access fees or recurring charges (such as those incurred by
cellular airtime)
· maximum allowable transmit power (1 Watt)
· longest range
· transparent, low latency link providing reliable wireless IP/
ethernet communications with constant baud rate over
distance
A BRIDGE separates two network
segments within the same logical
network (subnet).
A SERIAL GATEWAY allows
asynchronous serial data to enter
(as through a gate) the realm of IP
communications.
The serial data is encapsulated
within UDP or TCP packets.
A ROUTER forwards data across
internetworks (different subnets).

This QUICK START guide will enable you to promptly establish basic
IP connectivity between a pair of EtherWave-WMR in a point-to-point
(ref. 5.1) configuration.
Note that the units arrive from the factory with a Radio Configuration
of ‘Remote’ and the Local Network setting configured as ‘Static’ (IP
Address 192.168.1.254, Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0, and Gateway
192.168.1.1).

EtherWave - WMR
2.0 Quick Start
The ethernet connections are dependent upon what is available to
work with for the test configuration. For the purposes of this QUICK
START, the assumption is that a LAN connection is available (with
Internet connectivity) and that the PC is connected to this LAN.
· Disconnect the PC’s LAN connection from its NIC card
and insert the now ‘loose end’ of the ethernet patchcable
into the rear ETHERNET RJ45 connector at the rear of
the MASTER EtherWave-WMR.
· Using a CROSSOVER cable, connect the PC’s NIC card
RJ45 jack to the ETHERNET RJ45 connector on the RE-
MOTE EtherWave-WMR.
At this point there is a wireless connection between the PC and the
LAN, and you should be able to go about your typical networking ac-
tivities, including accessing the Internet (via the LAN).
Also, by opening a web browser and entering the IP address of either
EtherWave-WMR, you will be taken to the respective unit’s Web User
Interface LOGIN window.
If communications not available as outlined above:
· Verify the RSSI LEDs on the front of each EtherWave-
WMR are illuminated.
· Verify TX (red) LED activity on the front of each Ether-
Wave-WMR.
· Observe the rear of each EtherWave-WMR, specifically
the ETHERNET connection: the green LINK LED should
be illuminated (indicating proper cabling) and the amber
(ACTIVITY LED) should also be flickering—indicating
DATA traffic at the ETHERNET connector.
· If using Windows XP, the firewall function could inhibit
desired data traffic. Anti-virus software may also have a
negative impact.
To connect an EtherWave-WMR to
a PC, an ethernet CROSSOVER
(not a straight-through) cable must
be used.
