Ad Hoc WiBox 2100E Connection

Figure 2-4. Direct WiBox 2100E-to-WiBox 2100E Connection

In the example above, the two WiBox 2100E devices have established an Ad Hoc peer-to-peer relationship. They communicate directly to each other’s serial devices without a PC or an AP.

WiBox 2100E with Ethernet

With this model, you can select either a wireless or an Ethernet connection.

Protocol Support

The WiBox 2100E device server uses the TCP/IP protocol stack for network communications. Other supported protocols include:

ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for network communications and management.

TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial port.

TFTP for firmware and web page updates.

IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which devices interact with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point connection.

Configuration Methods

After the physical installation of the WiBox 2100E, configuration is required. For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have:

A unique IP address

Appropriate settings for network communications

Methods for logging into the device server and assigning IP addresses (as well as setting other configurable parameters) include:

Web Manager: Through a web interface, configure the WiBox 2100E and its settings using the

WiBox 2100E’s Web Manager. (See 4: Web Manager Configuration.)
