Introduction

Ad Hoc WiBox Connection

Figure 2-4. Direct WiBox to WiBox Connection

In the example above, two WiBoxes 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 with Ethernet

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

Protocol Support

The WiBox 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, 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 and its settings using

the WiBox’s Web-Manager. (See 4: Web-Manager.)

Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Setup Mode. Make a Telnet connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a terminal emulation program) to the unit’s serial port. (See 5: Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode) Configuration.)
