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.)
