Chapter 1: System Overview
All MOTOMESH Duo 2.1 Infrastructure Devices require professional
installation to ensure the installation is performed in accordance with
Motorola installation standards and that regulatory requirements are met.
MOTOMESH Duo 2.1 Network Components .............................................
.
.
A MOTOMESH Duo 2.1 network is comprised of the following components.
• Intelligent Access Points (IAPs)
• Mesh Wireless Routers (MWRs)
• Supporting networking equipment
Intelligent Access Point
A MOTOMESH Duo device can function as an IAP (gateway) or an MWR. All MOTOMESH
Duo devices ship from the factory as IAPs. If an IAP does not detect a wired connection it
will convert to an MWR thus removing itself as a valid gateway to the wired network. This
prevents routing holes from forming in the network. IAPs (functioning as MWRs) will still
participate in the mesh and will forward traffic to an alternative IAPs (gateways). A node can
also be specifically set as an IAP or an MWR using the One Point Wireless Manager™
application or the device webpage.
Intelligent Access Points:
• Support 802.11 a/b/g Wi-Fi client access.
• Support all 802.11 client security methods (open, WEP, WPA/WPA2 RADIUS,
WPA/WPA2 PSK).
• Support 15 Virtual Access Points per radio for client access.
• Support Dynamic Route Selection via the MeshConnex™ routing engine.
• Support Automatic Load Balancing.
• Support 128bit AES encrypted Secure Mesh inter-nodal links.
• Are equipped with two Ethernet interfaces one of which can source standards
based 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) (to power an external IP enabled
device such as a surveillance camera) or Canopy PoE to power Motorola
Canopy subscriber modules.
• Offer fast and easy deployment via a pivot mounting bracket.
• Designed with a rugged NEMA 4 outdoor enclosure.
